#NewMusicFriday – 09/05/2025

The music is all that matters. I started the show by uttering “Habemus Nova Musica Veneris.” It’s probably grammatically incorrect, but you get the drift. Not convinced by the new pope, it has to be said. We will see.

So, that music:

Junk Season – Don’t Quit (Your Day Job)
Lord Jane – Kaleidoscopes
Launch Control – Pax Britannica
Nuala – Power
Dark Tropics – Whispers
TWO TONNE MACHETE – HOME
Szou – Rose-Tinted
NevilleSounds – Right On Time
Venus In Noise – In The Sun
Kalush Orchestra – Stefania (2022 Eurovision Winner)
Emily Breeze – Fun
TV Death – Propaganda
Tender Claws – Serenity
Broken Bear – Murder Suicide
Misery Prize – A Dozen Red Flags
Northern Hospitality – Memento

Some absolutely cracking music there, including the 4.5 asterisker Misery Prize track. Go listen, buy, stream – whatever, as long as it’s loud and frequent.
