Speaking in the new issue of Uncut – in shops now and available to buy online from us here – Ringo Starr reflects on Sam Mendes’ forthcoming quartet of Beatles films, from advising on scripts to meeting Barry Keoghan, his on‑screen alter ego. Starr says the biopics will balance invention with authenticity: “There’s gonna be some reality to it” in the finished films… “Barry came to live with me for a year, so he’d really get my mannerisms… No, I’m just shitting on you!” laughs Starr. “He came over one afternoon for two hours and we said hello. Then I…

Sheffield band’s new album is one of grit and struggle, with flashes of cynical humour, performed on a musically tight backdrop.IV is an album which deals with themes of being stuck, nostalgia, regret and also provides a wry social commentary. Opener, Skin in the Game, deals with someone who is on the edge and is scared to move on, as he has too much to lose. “Maybe I could change but I don’t know where to start” captures that sense of ambiguity about change, and there’s desperation in the line, “Can we forgive and forget / Or is it Russian…
Those in the know can’t understand why Geraint Watkins isn’t a bigger solo music star. The Welsh piano and accordion wizard is one of the best UK session and touring musicians, having played with the likes of Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Van Morrison, Andy Fairweather Low, Bill Wyman, Eric Clapton, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Carl Perkins, John Martyn, and many more. As a solo artist, he has released occasional solo albums over the years, and for a while, he was in the UK’s best Cajun band, the Balham Alligators. He made the trip from his native South Wales…
You can tell that Big Thief are feeling good about their four-night residency at Brixton Academy when they open with a delicate new song, “What I Only Dream Of”. It’s a beautiful country number played on acoustic guitar by Adrianne Lenker, accompanied on synth by opening act Dylan Meek, brother of Big Thief guitarist Buck. Lenker giggles with sheer musical joy as Meek takes a solo, and it’s as if the two of them are alone in a rehearsal room rather than performing in front of 5,000 people. But she knows she’s being watched. “Strangers’ eyes bring me to life,”…

Wellington artists Will McClean and Young Gho$t are back with their second collaborative single, “No Giving Up,” landing April 24th, and it signals a clear shift in tone.Where their first release, “Sippin’ On The Wine,” leaned into a more laid back, reflective space, this new track feels sharper and more intentional. Built around a soulful sample, steady drums, and layered melodies, “No Giving Up” centres itself on a simple but resonant idea: persistence.There’s a quiet confidence running through the record. Both artists take a measured approach, focusing less on dramatics and more on consistency, showing up, staying grounded, and trusting…
Recently nominated for the Edison Prize, Joya Mooi returns with All The Things, a deeply personal EP that explores the emotional contradictions of jealousy, grief, security and motherhood.Where previous project Open Hearts looked outward, this new release turns inward. Drawing largely from her own experiences, Joya uses these songs to process a transformative year marked by loss, change and emotional growth.The title track sets the tone with warm basslines, soft guitar textures and understated production that keeps her intimate vocals front and centre. Elsewhere, “Technicolour” unpacks envy through a more compassionate lens, while “Pay Day” reflects on shifting ideas of…
Italian producer and multi instrumentalist Alsogood (Francesco Lo Giudice) returns with 1000 Smiles, a concise yet deeply expressive new album arriving April 24 via Island Records on both vinyl and digital.Clocking in at just 26 minutes, the record feels intentional and tightly composed, blending hip hop structure with the fluidity and warmth of contemporary jazz. It is arguably Alsogood’s most complete body of work to date, a project that leans into both precision and spontaneity, shaped by a process that moved from solo studio sessions in Milan to a live, immersive recording in the hills near Vicenza.Lead single “Feliz” sets…
Matt Hansen returns with VISION. A final pre-album release that channels uncertainty into forward motion. Closing the pre-release phase, VISION keeps the delivery tight. Clear vocal lead, message-first writing, and an open-ended arc that mirrors Orchid’s core: vulnerability and self-correction. Scale is already locked. 1B+ streams, 6M monthly Spotify listeners, 3M TikTok followers, built independently. Catalogue anchors (Something to Remember, LET EM GO, yellowstone, DON’T LOOK BACK, COMPASS) feed into the 18-track album, consolidating reach while extending the narrative.At album level, Orchid holds a cohesive line. Relationship fallout, dependency, and recovery told through direct, lived detail, with sequencing that builds…
Manchester’s grimmest weekend, Offal Fest 2026, has announced a change of scenery. The festival will no longer be taking place at The Bread Shed and is instead moving over to Boundary (part of The Union) this July.The move was a bit of a forced hand due to some internal maintenance issues at the original spot, but it’s turned out to be a bit of a result. The new home is only about a five-minute walk from the old one, but it comes with a proper state-of-the-art sound system and, more importantly, a massive increase in capacity. The organisers, Rancid Offal…
