The next Sohodolls single to drop ahead of their long-awaited new album is a cover of ‘Tear You Apart’ by She Wants Revenge. With her own interpretation of the track, Sohodolls’ Maya von Doll has taken the indie-rock track in a more electronic direction and put her own dark-pop stamp on the song.

“The fans asked for it!” Maya von Doll explains. “Last year I posted a photo on Instagram with She Wants Revenge’s hit ‘Tear You Apart’. The fans mistakenly thought this was a statement of intent to cover the track. I received hundreds of messages within an hour – all full of support and encouragement to cover the song and also asking for the release date. I had no intention of doing a cover but the Sohodolls ‘brethren’, as I call my fans, clearly did!”, she further reveals.

This is the type of loyal fanbase support that has seen Sohodolls climb up the viral Billboard charts in recent years when Madonna’s daughter kickstarted their career again by dancing to one of their 00’s tracks on TikTok. The band have also recently had single ‘Bad’ featured in Netflix’s top 10 series ‘Geek Girl’, plus a slew of new press and radio attention from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Nels Hylton, Absolute Radio’s Frank Skinner and Atwood Magazine to name a few.

The potent new cover of ‘Tear You Apart’ continues this exciting new era for Sohodolls. Produced by Ängelsson (Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, Demi Lovato, Swae Lee, Tory Lanez), Sohodolls brilliantly reframe the track with thick electronic bass, sparkling synth melodies and Maya von Doll’s stunning airy vocals, delivering the track’s menacing lyrics with an icy foreboding effortlessly.

“I hope I’ve done it justice and not offended She Wants Revenge” says von Doll. “They actually chose Sohodolls to be their support act when they last toured the UK. We should do it again!”, she adds.

Host Bodies’ track ‘On A Roll’ Gets a Psychedelic Reinvention from Soul Glitch

Ten years after Host Bodies first released the album Daily Apparatus, “On A Roll” has found a completely new groove.

For the Daily Apparatus: 10 Year Remixes project, multi-instrumentalist and producer Nicholas Hasty, under his Soul Glitch moniker, takes the original electronic-rock track and pulls it into deeper, more psychedelic territory.

The remix keeps the energy of Host Bodies intact while opening up the track with new beats, electronic textures and expressive saxophone solos. Electric guitar, bass and layered production give it a rich, genre-blurring sound that sits somewhere between indie electronic, jazztronica, soultronica and alternative dance.

There’s something particularly satisfying about hearing a decade-old track treated not as a relic, but as raw material. Soul Glitch reshapes “On A Roll” , finding new spaces within the original and bringing his own musical language into the mix.

The result is energetic, sensual, psychedelic and unapologetically expansive.

Ten years on, “On A Roll” proves that sometimes the best way to celebrate where a song came from is to find somewhere completely new for it to go.
