3,2,1, go!
'Someday, I’ll make it to the money'
I told myself
Dreamed through the dull Central Line
It’s bloody hot
Steaming, yet I look alright
Eyes on gold, milk and honey
I’ll never stop
Pressures on - rise to the climb
I’ve already made up my mind
I’m taking it up, taking it up - for the weaker
Same train, same heat, same fight, get right
I’m taking it up, taking it up - for the speaker
Naughty, gnarly
I’m your fav cunty gyal
Cunty gyal
Cunty gyal
Oh
'Someday, I’ll make it to the light'
Dreamed through the dull Central Line
It’s bloody hot
Steaming, yet I look alright
Eyes on gold, milk and honey, uh
Pressures on - rise to the climb
I’ve already made up my mind
I’m taking it up, taking it up - for the weaker
Same train, same heat, same fight, get right
I’m taking it up, taking it up - for the speaker
Naughty, gnarly
I’m your fav cunty gyal
Cunty gyal
Cunty gyal
Oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, hey yeah
Someday, I’ll make it to the money
Life, tastes like honey
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
3,2,1, go!
Ah, ah, oh
Cunty gyal
Wow oh oh, wow oh oh, hey yeah, woo

Truth or Dare
The Vounds
Following their debut with first single "Soul Sister", four-piece The Vounds deliver their debut EP, Culture Vulture.
The title itself takes a cheeky swipe at the highbrow posers and trend-chasers who merely flock around the scene, yet only a band with supreme confidence in their craft could pull off a name packed with such razor-sharp wit and irony.
Tracked entirely at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios and mixed and mastered completely in analogue in Tokyo, the record stands as a defiant anti-AI statement in the modern landscape. While the EP proudly wears its members' eclectic musical heritage on its sleeve-spanning punk, garage, metal, emo, and elements from across musical eras, their raw musicianship and immaculate production elevate the record far beyond mere nostalgic homage, transforming it into a strikingly modern statement.
Artist Profile
The Vounds
The Vounds are a London-formed, Tokyo-based four-piece alternative band featuring Aya (vocals), Ryo (bass), Haruka (guitar), and Tetsu (drums). Rooted in alternative rock, the band draws on its members' diverse musical backgrounds to forge a sound where post-punk attitude, indie sleaze aesthetics, alt-pop hooks, and hip-hop-driven rhythms collide. By blending raw guitars with dancefloor momentum and sharp vocal phrasing, The Vounds sit squarely at the intersection of alternative rock and club culture, equally at home in a sweaty basement venue or on a massive festival stage. This boundary-crossing approach drives bold, fluid songwriting that moves effortlessly between genres while maintaining a razor-sharp, cohesive identity. At the center of their sonic landscape is Aya's commanding and versatile vocal presence, which shifts seamlessly from husky, breath-laced intimacy to soaring high registers and rapid-fire delivery. Her performance is anchored by a tight, high-impact rhythm section and dynamic, effects-textured guitar work. That raw studio chemistry translates powerfully on stage. Defined by explosive builds, controlled tension, and an undeniable command over the crowd, their live sets are urgent, deeply physical, and impossible to ignore. Formed in London, Aya's second home, and shaped by the members' lives in Tokyo, the band beautifully embodies the duality of both metropolises. Their sound channels an indie sleaze sensibility infused with London's underground grit and Tokyo's neon precision, creating a cross-cultural identity that is vibrant, current, and primed for the global stage.
