OK you've convinced me 😉 Short snappy and interesting

Light Up The Sky

Sun-kissed river drips a beacon of light 
I’ll bathe in its heat
Walk into the bright
From the cold
It’s just like I was told 
Look down at my hands 
Feel the heat
Know they’re mine 
Thoughts visit for a while
But they leave in due time 
Now I know
Life out the undertow

But if I knew myself better then it could’ve been love 
And if I worked a little harder then I wouldn’t need luck 
But is it ever worth the if?
The if...

Who knew feeling like a person could be this easy? 
22 with a gift for making it all seem wrong
Where did I ever go wrong?
I met myself for the first time here
Not much in common but I came with landing gear 
Oh, lock my body up here...

But if I knew myself better then it could’ve been love 
And if I worked a little harder then I wouldn’t need luck 
But is it ever worth the if?
The if...
The if!

I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But you can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But you can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But I can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But I can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But I can make a mistake

What If?

Edinburgh indie-folk artist Hailey Beavis has announced her debut album, 'i'll put you where the trombone slides', will be released on November 4th via OK Pal Records. The album, which has been seven years in the making, is a celebration of resilience, determination and evidence of an artist who has overcome many obstacles to reach where they are today. The first single, ‘Crow’, is a wonderfully warped track about the journey to self acceptance.

Beautiful Dreams

Always The Distance

Music by Tantrum Zentrum
Lyrics by Vaat Dafuq

This song is about falling in love...
With a fascist!

The song was inspired by the 80s Yugoslavian pop tune called "Fa Fa Fašista" (by Plavi Orkestar), which mocked the country's obsession with WWII. While the lyrics are not a direct translation of the original, they still contain a few Bosnian and corrupted German words for emphasis.

Vaat Dafuq – vocals, guitar
Sabine de Rousseau – guitar, vocals
Valhalla Schimmer – bass guitar
Igor Olejar – drums
Steve Evans – backing vocals

Produced by Stephen Evans and Tantrum Zentrum. Recorded at The Fortress, UK by Stephen Evans. Mixed in stereo and Dolby Atmos by Stephen Evans.

Additional synth and drum machine samples by punkdIDSCO.

Holy Smoke - SINGLE

Tantrum Zentrum is a British / North American post-punk band from London. Inspired by both early 70s German rock and late 70s New York no-wave bands, they deliver sonic dissonance and poppy hooks with great energy and style - like Killing Joke but on happy pills.

Tantrum Zentrum is an epic live band based in the UK whose known for writing short and shambly no-wave songs and playing them with European precision and grandeur. Fans say it’s as if Krautrock pioneers Neu! and Faust moved into a gothic apartment with no-wave experimentalists Sonic Youth, Glenn Branca and Theoretical Girls – they’re simply unforgettable.

Since forming, Tantrum Zentrum have been creating memorable live performances. Full of energy, humour and excellent musicianship, the band's live shows get everyone dancing. Without any gimmicks, the four musicians effortlessly share their joy of playing live with their audience, always creating genuine connections and a sense of community.

Tantrum Zentrum have recently finished recording three songs with Steve Evans (producer for Siouxie Sioux, Goldfrapp and Robert Plant) that will be released as singles throughout the remainder of the year. To support these releases, the band will be playing a number of club shows in the UK, as well as a German tour in the autumn.

Tantrum Zentrum was started by multi-instrumentalists Vaat Dafuq and Sabine de Rousseau as a post-punk Krautrock project. Soon after the formation, Sabine and Vaat were joined by Val Schimmer on bass guitar and Kur Putchnik on drums. With this solid and experienced rhythm section, Tantrum Zentrum grew into a powerful four-piece that fills any venue with dark but groovy, body moving sounds.

When it came to crafting the band’s sound, Vaat and Sabine chose guitars with a sort of Velvet Underground slacker-jangle inspired by no-wave. Then to incorporate their love of Krautrock (influenced more by Faust and Can than Kraftwerk), they made their synths analogue and wobbly and they rounded everything out with simple hypnotic drums played with Devo-esque precision.

As for lyrics, although Vaat usually sings in a few languages, the band’s dark, energetic tracks are performed in a way that you don’t have to understand the words to appreciate them and the melodies have a habit of sticking in your brain. Simply put, Tantrum Zentrum’s music and their live shows are an experience you don’t want to miss!
