I repeat my humblest of apologies to the creators of the iconic NOW music compilation series of tri-annual releases. Their compilations began in 1983. I posted and compiled the first WOW That’s What I Call Mayhem collection back in March 2024. Volumes 2, 3 and 4 followed in August and September. Volume 5 was was issued in January this year with Volume 6 appearing very soon after in February! So after a few months wait you must be ready for volume 7, right? I certainly hope so, because here it is! This includes the third 20 singles we reviewed in 2025 in another wonderfully maniacal eclectic playlist for your listening pleasure! With 76 minutes of music, click the Spotify link below and lose yourself in the music!

Liliths Army are Sylvie Studente on vocals and guitar, Tommy Mayo on bass and Sam Sherwood on drums. They are based in the UK in Northamptonshire. Their new single, “Eat My TV” is the finest slice of lo-fi British punk that I have heard for a long while. The song bemoans the fact that, in the bands opinion, music on TV is pretty shit right now. That is why they have suggested that they might eat their TV rather than watch shit music videos on it. I feel the need to make this a core part of a playlist aligned with Bowie’s “TVC 15” and Springsteen’s “57 Channels” for starters. The song is a taster for their album ‘Doll’ which will be out on Criminal Records later this month. The song was written by vocalist Sylvie and contains some rather ace lyrics, such as “I’d rather chew on a sweaty flip-flop, Than listen to fucking hip hop“. I understand the sentiment, particularly for some hip hop, but I also believe that there is still some good hip hop in the world. I am also sure that only a British band could include flip flops in a lyric! I love this song and I am really looking forward to the album! You can catch them on tour this year too. See the list below. I hope to be at the York gig in September!
