At the start of 1988, Megadeth stood on the edge of the precipice, ready to plummet. Since the release of their debut album, Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good in 1985, the band had been living on a diet of drugs, booze and anger – this was especially true of Dave Mustaine, not only the driving and creative force, but also fuelled by a sense of injustice.“I still can’t believe I got kicked out of fucking Metallica,” Mustaine said, at the time Megadeth were recording that first album. “So I drank? Big fucking deal. And the other guys…

When Will Ospreay was 14, his mum bought him a wrestling ring. It’s a move that played out as well in the long term as it did the short, because by his own admission, he was in urgent need of occupying at the time. “She knew I was a troublemaker,” he smiles. “I was a little shit. I just wanted to find something to entertain myself, especially at that age, and obviously, I loved wrestling.” His mum worked in an amateur drama group and happened to know some fabricators and welders, so they did their best to put together a…
Charli XCX‘Music, Fashion,Film’(Atlantic Records)Released 24 July 2026CD | Vinyl | DL | Streaming4.0 out of 5.0 starsWith this cutting-edge album that mixes minimalistic synth blurts, distorted guitar motifs, urgent melodies and minimalistic short, sharp, shock future pop songs, Charli is the true sound of both the moment and of post punk.

Hop inside my coat… As you’ll read in this new magazine, the last 30 years have seen an incredible transformation in the career and public persona of Nick Cave. If it was Russia we were talking about in the same period, then we’d be speaking of glasnost, openness. Weirdly, it’s a quality we can see registered through the medium of another Australian performer: Kylie Minogue. We find the pair of them (she the girl next door pop star; he the gothic scarecrow junkie) at the start of this magazine, appearing on “Where The Wild Roses Grow”, Kylie’s contribution to Murder…
