Charles Bukowski is manning the bar, Malcolm McLaren is handling the guest list, and Terence Stamp and Julie Christie are canoodling in a corner. Now you\u2019re getting a sense of the weird and wonderful world of The Studio 68!. &nbsp;A high-octane rock \u2019n\u2019 roll band formed in North London steeped in late \u201960s and early \u201970s influences, they were destined for stardom in the early \u201990s before their chaotic lifestyle derailed them. One explosive Camden performance caused MOJO magazine to remark, \u201cIt was the night the foundation stone of Britpop was laid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regenerated, Doctor-Who style, in 2023 as a rollicking rock \u2019n\u2019 roll outfit fronted by lead vocalist Dani Turner, the six-piece have since blown the doors off everywhere from the \u2018Shiiine On\u2019 festival to Camp Bestival and are now ready to unfurl their new album Rollin\u2019 upon the world.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/68_ROLLIN_front.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/68_ROLLIN_front-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/68_ROLLIN_front-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/68_ROLLIN_front-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/68_ROLLIN_front-65x65.jpeg 65w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/68_ROLLIN_front.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Set for release this coming February 20<sup>th<\/sup>, 2026, via the legendary UK mod and punk label Detour Records, the album will be available on CD, download and as a limited-edition bright orange vinyl Rizla-style sleeve, with a lush gatefold for paper Rollin\u2019 ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recorded in London with legendary producer Brian O\u2019Shaughnessy (Primal Scream\/Rumer), Rollin\u2019 sees the 68! fusing elements of funk, soul, jazz and blues to create a modern classic and this week the psychedelic express that is The Studio \u201968! &amp; Dani Turner rolls back into town in spectacular style with brand-new single \u2018Need A Miracle\u2019 \u2013 a gilt-edged rock \u2019n\u2019 soul anthem, it fuses a relentless four-to-the-floor Northern Soul groove with a tune worthy of peak-era Fleetwood Mac. All welded to a lacerating lyrical examination of the pop process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t enough, the whole thing is sent stratospheric by the extraordinary vocals of powerhouse lead singer Dani Turner. As powerful as P.P. Arnold and as raunchy as namesake Tina, Turner\u2019s diamonds-on-sandpaper delivery on \u2018Need A Miracle\u2019 brings to mind the larynx-busting majesty of Merry Clayton\u2019s vocals on the Stones\u2019 Gimme Shelter\u2019.&nbsp;<br><br>\u201c\u2018Need A Miracle\u2019 is a cautionary tale for anyone thinking about entering this weird and wonderful business,\u201d says band spokesman Paul Moody. \u201cIt\u2019s a tribute to every band that has ever fallen foul of the music biz \u2014 an aural ragu for a dish served cold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recorded at the iconic Bark Studio in Walthamstow, Rollin\u2019 is a passionate love letter to rock \u2019n\u2019 roll\u2019s late \u201960s and early \u201970s heyday; it\u2019s a 35-minute blast of grooviness, littered with sonic and lyrical nods to everyone from Brian Auger And The Trinity to Delaney &amp; Bonnie, Bobbie Gentry to Deep Purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard of musicianship is, frankly, sickening \u2014 check out Thrill Heaven\u2019s mesmeric Hammond playing on six-minute epic \u2018Time Slips Through Your Hands\u2019, while the one-in-a-generation vocal talent of Dani Turner brings to mind everyone from Elkie Brooks to Beth Ditto; Betty Davis to&nbsp; Alabama Shakes\u2019 Brittany Howard. And that\u2019s just the Bs.<br><br>Each of the ten tracks is also constructed with an attention to detail worthy of the Brill Building. An epic \u2018The Way It Is\u2019 holds up a (black) mirror to Britain in 2025, a country where hope has been reduced to a game-show appearance or a betting slip, while&nbsp;\u2018Seasons\u2019 is an other-worldly meditation on loss reminiscent of Traffic at their most transcendental. \u2018Turn Off Your Mind\u2019 is a Fantastic Negrito-style groove decrying tech-consumerism, while \u2018Wasn\u2019t Ready\u2019 is a breezy meditation on the fleeting nature of existence worthy of Rod\u2019s Never a Dull Moment. The overall effect is an album which will stay on your turntable for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musically there are nods to everyone from Rod Stewart and the Faces (Wasn\u2019t Ready\u2019) to Traffic (a sublime \u2018Seasons\u2019) to Stephen Stills\u2019 Manassas (Funky People\u2019), but lyrically Rollin\u2019 is bang up to date.&nbsp;\u2018The Way It Is\u2019 holds up a (black) mirror to Britain in 2025 \u2014 a country where hope now comes in the shape of a TV game-show appearance or a betting slip \u2014 while \u2018Hall of Mirrors\u2019 addresses the distorting gaze of social media. \u2018Turn Off Your Mind\u2019, meanwhile, is a swampy mantra reminiscent of retro-centric fellow traveller Fantastic Negrito.&nbsp;All filtered through a Technicolor lens of good vibes and boundless positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the \u201968!, it\u2019s not just about the music. Their rock \u2019n\u2019 roll travelling show is powered by an over-arching band philosophy, deeply rooted in the progressive social and cultural spirit of 1968.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re here to bring the joy \u2014 and the danger \u2014 back into rock \u2019n\u2019 roll,\u201d says band spokesman Paul Moody. \u201cThe psychedelic express is picking up speed and we\u2019d love you to come along for the ride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dani and the \u201968! will be playing this and other choice cuts from Rollin\u2019\u2019 at their not-to-be-missed album launch at the legendary 100 Club on Wednesday January 28, which will see the band joined by XL, newcomers Raw Sonik, and an all-star DJ line-up of Jon \u2018Mojo\u2019 Mills (editor of Shindig!), Andy Lewis (Blow Up) and cult dancefloor mavericks Uncertain Ratio.
