Los Campesinos! have redefined what it means to thrive as an independent band. In July, their self-released album All Hell became their highest-charting record ever. Last month, we sat down with Gareth David to discuss their journey, the making of the album, and their big plans for 2025.

Sløtface has always been a band in motion, known for their high-energy live shows, sharp-witted lyrics, and a fierce punk spirit. Before their gig at Bristol’s Exchange, I caught up with frontwoman Haley Shea in the venue’s cozy front bar. Over cups of tea, the anticipation of the night ahead buzzing quietly in the background, it becomes clear that Sløtface’s evolution has been more than just musical—it’s been deeply personal.

It was only last year that M.A.G.S. delivered 'Destroyer', a raw, edgy body of work, unknowingly prepared to echo the chaos looming on the horizon. In a surprising turn one year later, M.A.G.S. returns with 'Creator'. More than a remix, it’s a reimagining—a fresh start. This album reveals a new side of M.A.G.S., one where collaboration and flaws are not only welcomed but celebrated, coloring his work in beautiful, unexpected ways.
