JE DOUBLE F's Nihilist New Wave Band TUFF TURF Return with "CLOSED UP" from NIGHT FINDS YOU (American Scream Records)

TUFF TURF is a New Jersey-based Nihilist New Wave band fronted by everyone's favorite Nihilist Punk-Rap super-star, JE DOUBLE F. Equal parts Glenn Danzig & RiFF RAFF, JE DOUBLE F is, actually, the ALL CAPS moniker of Atlantic City's own Jeff "Spooky" Richie. We've previously covered both Jeff's 2017 full-length, HUMAN RITES and TUFF TURF's "BODY HEAT" B/W "HEAVEN, RIGHT NOW" cassingle; plus, JE DOUBLE F was the second brave artist to submit a Beat-maker Bedrock to us, featuring particularly "gloomy" selections from Gravediggaz, Samhain & Nine Inch Nails, of course. Now, JE DOUBLE F-helmed TUFF TURF have returned with the long-rumored follow-up to their 2016 American Scream Records full-length, HUNGER & HAUNT, ominously titled NIGHT FINDS YOU. TUFF TURF, actually, take their name from Fritz Kiersch's 1985 American Drama film of the same name starring a young James Spader, Kim Richards, and a then-21-year-old Robert Downey, Jr. Tuff Turf's tagline was, according to IMDb: "The new kid in school must battle a gang of street toughs after stealing the gang leader's girl..." To be completely honest, TUFF TURF's latest single, "CLOSED UP," could have functioned as the soundtrack to, I'm assuming, one of Tuff Turf's many gang-led car chase/white-knuckle racing scenes. "'CLOSED UP" preaches the importance of self-reliance, personal responsibility, and emotional steadiness," TUFF TURF explain within a recent press release. NIGHT FINDS YOU is currently available for pre-order from American Scream Records, which includes immediate digital download + 2 extra pre-order-only songs, CD, T-shirt, sunglasses, and stickers. TUFF TURF's NIGHT FINDS YOU will become widely available on May 25, 2019.

"CLOSED UP" LYRiCS

"I take what's my mine because it's always been,
You can't achieve without pride and sin,
You said it all, you said it wrong,
You tear me up from my flesh to bones,

I'll take the fall, I'll take the ride,
Because what's inside me will not hide,
There's an undertow,
You'll under go changes to you,

I'll open up my hand, blood and anger crush,
You never understand, I never asked for much,
I was closed up, yeah, I couldn't clutch,
Now that no one loves me, I'm having all the fun.

There's an underneath to the things we seek,
We want them soon, we want to reap now,
It doesn't have to be fair and square,
I'll fight anyone for anything, anywhere,

It's boring to me, people who hide are weak,
So, find me, if you can hear me now,
It's never going to be fair and square,
I'll fight anyone off..."

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
