Darlington's pollyfromthedirt has moved to London for the opportunities. His one man show, part laptop, part "real music" treads the personal with broadly British. Ahead of a set at the debut So Young Weekender, we chat with pollyfromthedirt about the people in his world and how his writing location can impact the sounds he's making. In Birmingham, rapper and producer Tony Bontana is preparing for another record release. 'My Name' follows support shows with the likes of YHWH Nailgun, Mark William Lewis, Nourished By Time, TAGABOW and Dry Cleaning, a collection of artists which reflects the range of influence in his music. Our interview spans metal, new favourites Some Images of Paradise, and the dissection of a name, the subject that informs the title of Tony Bontana's upcoming record.

Issue Sixty is our first magazine of 2026 and welcomes a longtime favourite to the cover, NYC's Fcukers are on the front. The duo of Shanny Wise and Jackson Walker Lewis developed early hype breaking out of the NYC band scene in 2023, delivering indie-sleaze adjacent alternative pop in the full band format. Since those beginnings, it's difficult to pin down a point where they've stopped, slowed down or even taken a breath, and It's remarkable to think they found the time to write and record debut album 'Ö' (out March 27th via Ninja Tune). From throwing their own parties in empty pools, supporting indie heavyweights, LCD Soundsystem and Tame Impala, and DJ sets in Ibiza for Boiler Room - Fcukers have found their own place in this world, straddling the audiences of alternative rock and dance with conviction. We chat with Jackson and Shanny on delivering an electronic album with real variety, missing Bono, The Edge and Chris Martin, and the importance of lasers.

In the United States, two new names that we've been getting excited for are Prewn and Robber Robber. Prewn is the longtime project, born out of Covid, from Massachusetts' Izzy Hagerup. With the October 2025 album, 'System' generating momentum, we checked in via Zoom to hear her journey as a musician and how this developed to form what we now know as Prewn. Burlington, Vermont is the home of new Fire Talk Records signings Robber Robber. Their second record 'Two Wheels Move the Soul' is on its way in April and we can't wait. Our interview spans their DIY approach to recording and their ambition to tour as much as possible.

RIP Magic, are a new band featuring Marco Pini of Sorry, and a project taken seriously off the back of Tyler, The Creator's positivity towards the music at a hotel DJ set. Following the release of their debut sounds in 2025, RIP Magic have just shared '5words', a single released by DFA and produced by James Murphy. At the fifth (maybe sixth) time of asking, the band were finally ready to have a chat and it's inside.

The Femcels are a London based duo, formed of Rowan Miles and Gabriella Turton, who've released their debut album "I Have To Get Hotter' this year. Capturing the fun yet erratic nature of any deep and possibly intoxicated friendship, it's fun to try and keep up with The Femcels atop of their glitchy, electro-indie-pop. We ask about their favourite shoes, bonding over emo boys and recording on a diet of Buzzballs and In this magazine's edition of Who Are You?, we ask the basics to Some Images of Paradise, ladylike, Ellie O'Neil, casual smart, lttl mort, Group A.D and the north.

Belfast duo Chalk are set to release their debut album 'Crystalpunk' in March, a title which not only defines the sounds you'll find on the album, but inspired their creation. Ahead of its release we speak to the band about the history the album wrestles with, and their personal experience of growing up in the North of Ireland. To finish us off, Leeds' Adult DVD have announced their signing to renowned label, Fat Possum. Ahead of some inevitable 'big things coming' posts, we spoke to the band about the development of the group and their need to stress that their songs ARE NOT about themselves.

Bleech 9:3 have been embracing every live opportunity afforded to them over the last 18 months. Formed in and around Dublin, the four-piece have been developing a serious reputation for their performative rock shows, and a loyal digital following which is driving a dizzying momentum for a band built upon sobriety. We discuss the band's formation, growth and creative inspirations inside.

Oslo's Oda Sønderland, the artist behind Cardinals' debut album cover, talks us through her process and why her art connects so naturally with music.
