Japanese Television doesn’t just play music—they summon it, beaming their sounds straight from a black-lit UFO parked somewhere between 1968 and the heat-death of the universe. Founded by cosmic misfit Tim (guitar) the band got its low-end swagger when Elea (Bass) joined for their debut album. A year ago they expanded their alien frequencies with Riko, who plays organ and taishogoto like he’s channeling ghost transmissions, and Kev, a drumming wizard who hits the skins like they owe him money.
Their instrumentals feel like stumbling into a Dario Argento fever dream, where surf guitars crash into Martian sunsets and everything is just a little too weird to be accidental. Cool because they don’t give a damn about cool, Japanese Television thrives on being the band that doesn’t follow trends—they vaporize them with laser beams.
Fresh off releasing their second album, they’re already cooking up its remix sibling, because why not? In 2024, they’ll blitz across West Europe in March and East Europe in May, turning every venue into a retro-futuristic soundscape that smells faintly of ozone and vinyl. Step into their orbit, or get left in the dust, Earthling.

Jerry Motor is pure, unfiltered rock—no frills, no fakery—straight out of Antwerp. Formed by five musicians, the band stays gritty and raw, with bass lines that rumble like an old engine and guitars that slice through the noise like a rusty blade. Their sound is all heart and muscle, drawing inspiration from the edge of Siouxsie and the Banshees and the fierce energy of Skunk Anansie and L7. With the rebellious spirit of Amyl and the Sniffers and Gossip, plus a nod to The Vines’ urgency, Jerry Motor keeps it real, honest, and loud. Not ones to follow trends, they stay true to the music that drives them—guaranteed to hit you right where it counts.
