A bruised man with beautiful songs, Saul Adamczewski is seven months sober with a new Insecure Men album. He was offered the chance to make A Man For All Seasons when he was living in a South London cupboard strung out on meth amphetamine, providing a lifeline not only to continue making music ("it's the only thing I can do") but to put the Fat White Family member a mentally and physically healthier direction. A Man For All Seasons...

Recorded at Swn Festival in Cardiff (lovely fest if you can make it next year), Gareth David tells us about Los Campesinos!'s early years playing the student union down the road, turning down a sponsorship with Airbnb because of their involvement in listing properties on Palestinian land, and why all bands should have worked customer facing jobs.

When Joshua Idehen was working at burlesque bar, he couldn't imagine a life making music and poetry full-time. But since moving to Sweden, a country that values art by investing in artists, he has found peace with being a working musician. His debut album I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try is out in March 2026 on Heavenly. Photo: Fabrice Bourgelle

I first saw Home Front supporting High Vis at Islington Assembly Hall, one of the rare shows that felt like a real moment suspended in time. I fell in love with their new wave / oi! inspired weirdo punk rock, and their new album Watch It Die (out 14 November) sounds like it's gonna be ace. Here's singer Graeme on being 42 in a punk band, punk houses, sleeping on the job and influential Canadian bands D.O.A. and Fucked Up. Pre order...

The Dewaele brothers are here about the perceptions of what DJs, how they've kept their magic, how artists don't make money any more so more DIY shows are happening, plus Pulp, Pavement, Laurie Anderson and Fontaines D.C.

Poet, author and timeline cleanser David Larbi joins today.

His new book Frequently Happy is a wonderful mix of poetry, self affirmations and journalling prompts - it's out now. Thanks to The Collab, Walthamstow.

The Charlatans are about to release their fourteenth album We Are Love, a gladly psychedelic swish featuring perhaps my favourite Charlatans track ‘For The Girls’ - dedicated to band members’ families. Tim remembers the moment of running into Bez and Shaun Ryder of The Happy Mondays as he was checking into the hotel to detox, his favourite moments of the longer new Charalatans live shows, and how recording We Are Love at Rockfield ...

As teenagers wide-eyed to the world of Fat White Family and the notorious Queen's Head in Brixton, Charlie Steen and Shame did the honourable thing: dive heard first into everything. Still friends and still excited about making albums and touring, Charlie tells us about moving through south London in his twenties, living in the wahsing room and grifting at the Nepalese. Shame's excellent fourth album Cuthroat is out now. See Charli...

Inside Sheffield's Crookes Social Club, Malevolence's Alex, Charlie and Wilkie talk us through being a band since they were teenagers, going hard at touring before they made any money - making it happen out of pure passion and belief, looking up to While She Sleeps and Bring Me The Horizon before playing together and becoming friends, and living out their teenage dreams. Where Only The Truth Is Spoken is out now on MLVLTD.

Matt Berninger's excellent second solo album Get Sunk follows a slow exit from a serious depression where he couldn't get out of bed. Written on baseballs, deconstructed bedposts and anything else he could write lyrics on, the National singer writes songs like he's painting a picture. Once a graphic designer during the dot-com bubble in New York, he was going to formative gigs by The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio and Th...

Working Men's Club's Sydney Minsky Sargeant puts out his debut album Lunga this Friday. The album was written around the track 'Lisboa', which while written years ago carries so much weight for Syd that he needed to eventually get it out his system. The whole album is ace, and is from a more mellow direction than the harshness of WMC. Here we hear about the importance of accessible music in Britain, small town gentrification and t...

Famed for starting a Doors covers band to supplement income performing their own music, Field Music's David Brewis says it shouldn't come as a surprise. Despite sharing rehearsal spaces with 2000's mainstream indie bands The Futureheads and Maximo Park, the Brewis brothers had no interest in pleasing anyone else; only making music for themselves. Coming up to 20 years since their debut album, the Sunderland trio have nearly always ...

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
