“It’s very hard to make money off it, so might as well have fun, you know.” Right at the end of our chat,Shooting Daggersvocalist/bassistBea Simiondrops that line, and it basically sums up everything: the band, the new recordThe Real Life Thing, the punk ethics, the wrestling, all of it. This is a band living in the space between brutal graft and pure joy, and refusing to give up. We talk about their new release, working with Dennis Lyxzén from Refused, and why women’s wrestling is basically the best thing on TV right now, in WWE, AEW and beyond. “Now It…
We have been big fans of Nate Amos around these parts for some time now and what a few years he’s had. Between delivering breakout records both as a solo artist — under his This Is Lorelei moniker (which we have finally learnt how to spell which is progress) — and with his band Water From Your Eyes, sold out shows across multiple continents, to seeing artists such as Jeff Tweedy, Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman cover his songs, Amos has clearly found his stride, and he’s announcing today details of his next record which arrives on September 11th. As the…
Besides fronting US prog metal pioneers Fates Warning since 1987, Ray Alder has his fingers in a number of pies, including Engine, Redemption and, most recently, A-Z. As he unveiled a second solo set, II, in 2023, Prog placed a call to the singer’s home in Spain.After being a ‘band guy’ for so long, how did it feel to release your solo debut, What The Water Wants, in 2019?I like doing a lot of different things, which is why I’m involved in a few projects. A solo album just seemed like the next step. But if Fates Warning is no…
It would be an understatement to say that the first half of 2026 has been a spectacular celebration of genre entertainment and art. You only have to look at the box office to see how horror is dominating the cultural conversation. For those of us who’ve spent most of our adult lives arguing that horror is a vital art form capable of interrogating our deepest social anxieties—rather than just a cheap collection of jump-scares designed to make you spill your popcorn over the seat in front—the current landscape is hugely gratifying. All these stories have so much to say, and…

From an Instagram advert to a packed room at Gorilla, Lauren Klair explores how Culture Wars are using visual storytelling, authentic audience connection and great songs to build far more than a fanbase. There is a particular kind of comfort in discovering music that feels both familiar and entirely new. Originating from Austin, Texas, ‘cinematic alt rock’ band, Culture Wars, occupies that space effortlessly, blending contemporary alternative rock with the emotional immediacy that defined so much of the music many Millennials and Xennials grew up on. It’s what I can only describe as modern nostalgia, not a longing for a…
Originally published in Uncut Take 162 (November 2010 issue)… John is in Primal Scream therapy, Paul has escaped to the Scottish wilds, George is working on his masterpiece… But what about RINGO? We discover the irrepressible drummer making a psychedelic movie with Peter Sellers, a lush oldies album with George Martin and a pioneering country album with the cream of Nashville session cats. Oh, and giving a little help to his oldest friends, of course… THE AFTERMATH OF The Beatles’ break-up was a time of searching questions. How had it happened? What role had Yoko played? Was Paul innocent or…

Is this viral marketing… or something far more unsettling? A disturbing digital campaign has been spreading across social media and public spaces, but no one seems to know how it begun or what it’s for. Over recent weeks, reports have surfaced of cryptic “missing person” posters appearing in unexpected locations. There are no contact details on the missing poster, just a last seen date, the disturbing message “If they come back… they are not who they were” with the hashtag: #ItsUnderOurSkin beneath. With no official explanation, no listed organisation, and no obvious reasoning, speculation has already begun as to what…

Barcelona-based producer and audiovisual artist Zora Jones opens a new chapter with 50 Bullets, the first single from her forthcoming sophomore album 50 Bullets To The Heart, due later this year. The track places her vocals at the centre for the first time, turning heartbreak, anger, and emotional recovery into a club-pop structure built on icy production, spectral scratches, and Miami bass pressure.Zora Jones by Alex BallanoJones describes the single as “pain turned into power,” written as a way to reclaim her voice after a period shaped by fear, doubt, and shrinking herself for others. That tension drives the track:…
The Heretics’ “Tidal Waves” is a powerful return from the England, UK-based band. It is only their second ever track, following their lead single “Bends & Breaks”, but listen to this: you wouldn’t have thought that. It is one of those unapologetically rock-heavy tracks that is going to get you hooked from the first minute…. ahigh-energy rock anthem built for festivals, mosh pits, and big-stage impact.I have been listening to a lot of Feeder recently, and this song reminded me of their earlier work, so the first time I gave “Tidal Waves” a spin, I was instantly invested in it.…
