Following 2024’s Brat, this does not feel like a victory lap, more a push back and by the end I kind of liked it. Across eleven tracks and just over 30 minutes, it is still pop, but with the polish deliberately held back. Through sequenced loops, crunchy sampled guitars, sparse drums and… ## [ANYX – Starlink (La Rubia Producciones)](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/26/anyx-starlink-la-rubia-producciones/) _2026-08-26 · Trev Elkin · God Is In The TV_ You can watch a star for a fair while before it dawns on you that it’s actually travelling, albeit slowly, in a straight line. Anna Lucia Nissen spent a night under a sky she assumed was full of them before working out she was looking at Starlink satellites. Naming her debut after a billionaire’s data delivery network and its presence among ancient specks of light feels appropriate for a record… ## [NEWS: The Sick Man of Europe share ‘Negative Stimuli’ a prophetic nightmare & UK Tour](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/26/news-the-sick-man-of-europe-share-negative-stimuli-a-prophetic-nightmare-uk-tour/) _2026-08-26 · Ramya · God Is In The TV_ The Sick Man of Europe’s single, ‘Negative Stimuli’, is a prophetic nightmare from a metallic head’s wire writhing paranoia. The four minutes, are like crawling through a sleazy rabbit hole of digital utopia, cluttered with dreamscape cobwebs of Happy Mondays’ ‘Wrote for Luck‘, Except, the raspberry tonic club music rots with a sulphuric bitterness. Lifted from their forthcoming album The… ## [Video Of The Week #326: Steven Faulkner – Last Drunk Guy](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/26/video-of-the-week-326-steven-faulkner-last-drunk-guy/) _2026-08-26 · Loz Etheridge · God Is In The TV_ If the words “Graham Coxon meets Super Furry Animals” aren’t appealing enough to you, then maybe the words “fiercely political and left leaning” might draw you in. If not, then really, what are you even DOING here? Those roundabouts won’t paint themselves, you know! For ‘Last Drunk Guy‘, Steven Faulkner‘s alter ego Gordon Farump is unleashed on the public – a disgusting politician, corrupt to the… ## [LIVE: Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs – La Belle Angele, Edinburgh, 20/08/2026](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/26/live-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs-pigs-la-belle-angele-edinburgh-20-08-2026/) _2026-08-26 · Kitty Williams · God Is In The TV_ At the height of the Edinburgh Fringe, Newcastle’s favourite piggies, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (or more conveniently Pigsx7) graced the cellar of La Belle, putting on the summer’s most captivating heavy-rock show. Although being self-described “genre-benders“, Pigsx7 stoner-metal roots make them a remarkable and unexpected success story of the Northern metal scene. Along the way they’ve… ## [Grandmas House – Baby You’re A Winner (Brace Yourself Records)](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/21/grandmas-house-baby-youre-a-winner-brace-yourself-records/) _2026-08-21 · Julia Mason · God Is In The TV_ “We are so excited to finally release our debut album into the world. It feels like a time capsule of all the hard times we’ve faced together, and a testament to the love and friendship the four of us share.We wrote this album about the existential crisis of going through life. It’s about love and infatuation but also about grief and loneliness. It’s emotional, powerful, sad and a good time all at… ## [Lambchop – Punching The Clown (Merge Records/City Slang)](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/21/lambchop-punching-the-clown-merge-records-city-slang/) _2026-08-21 · Ed Jupp · God Is In The TV_ It’s now forty years since Lambchop mainman Kurt Wagner formed Posterchild, the band that would evolve into Lambchop in 1993 – and this record is their seventeenth studio album.

A confession, an act of courage. For no one else but me. And it’s me deciding to represent, not necessarily the way life is, but the way it feels.” Bloodhorse! is her fourth full-length album – a bold, lush and, at times… ## [NEWS: The House of Love: The Gift (Rehearsals & Live Recordings 1986-1988), 3CD Box Set Edition to be Released October 17th](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/21/news-the-house-of-love-the-gift-rehearsals-live-recordings-1986-1988-3cd-box-set-edition-to-be-released-october-17th/) _2026-08-21 · Dave Roberts · God Is In The TV_ city ## [AI Summaries & Audio Briefings (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/lSPmuQCMBcIf) _2026-08-21 · **Sponsored**_ Read AI summaries and listen to concise audio briefings for the latest stories. ## [Happy Mondays – Pills ‘n’ Thrills And Bellyaches (1990, reissue, 4 CD set, London Records)](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/20/happy-mondays-pills-n-thrills-and-bellyaches-1990-reissue-4-cd-set-london-records/) _2026-08-20 · Loz Etheridge · God Is In The TV_ Ah yes, because 36th anniversaries have always been a thing, right? In all honesty though, given the fact that this is Happy Mondays we’re talking about, a wholly unpredictable band capable of both moments of undeniable greatness and episodes of utter lunacy, perhaps a 36th anniversary release isn’t actually all that surprising. And yes, I know it’s being released as a continuation of the band’s… ## [Regina Collage – Horizont (Do You Have Peace?)](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/20/regina-collage-horizont-do-you-have-peace/) _2026-08-20 · Neil Laurenson · God Is In The TV_ Tucked away in a corner of Bandcamp is a note from Regina Collage about her album Memories, released three years ago: “I came to Bristol in December 2022 escaping war in Ukraine…Having left all of my instruments in Ukraine when I left the country, I worked with only a single synthesizer, lent to me by my good friend Geoff from “Beak” band.” ‘Geoff from “Beak” band’ is none other than Geoff Barrow… ## [Paul Heaton – Jenius (EMI)](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/20/paul-heaton-jenius-emi/) _2026-08-20 · Steven Doherty · God Is In The TV_ Following the recent Saturday night devoted to his oeuvre on BBC2, it was lovely to go on social media and feel the love and high esteem that Paul Heaton and his innate ability to write some of the most glorious pop songs of the last 40 years is held in. Whether it’s the early snotty tirades of The Housemartins, the criminally underrated, dark-hearted hits of The Beautiful South or his more recent… ## [NEWS: June McDoom shares magical new single ‘Without You’ from forthcoming album ‘Follow The Light’](https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2026/08/20/news-june-mcdoom-shares-magical-new-single-without-you-from-forthcoming-album-follow-the-light/) _2026-08-20 · Bill Cummings · God Is In The TV_ June McDoom announces her debut album, Follow The Light, out 16 October via Jagjaguwar, her first new music for the label.
