Super Furry AnimalsBrixton Academy, London22nd May 2026Back on stage for the first time in ten years, Super Furry Animals have not just rediscovered their magic, but given it a fresh lick of paint. Tom Parry sees the Welsh wizards back at their experimental best.The live resurrection of Super Furry Animals brought with it a whisper of heady expectation which hummed down the long, snaking queue around Brixton Academy. We had all been waiting a decade for the return of this band, probably the most restlessly creative to emerge in the mid-1990s, so another half-hour stuck in a line seemed somehow…
Alt-rock singer-songwriter Røry has officially announced the upcoming release of her highly anticipated sophomore studio album, Bloodletting, scheduled to drop on 4th September 2026 via Sadcøre Records. Alongside the album announcement, she has shared her anthemic new single, “Strange,” which is available to stream now.The 13-track record serves as a darker, heavier evolution for the artist, exploring profound themes of grief, rage, mortality, and suppressed trauma. Produced by long-term collaborators Kingdoms, with additional production and mixing handled by Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Muse), the release captures her navigating complex emotional landscapes.

Credit: Stacie HukebaKim Richey is one of those unsung heroes of americana who have been around for ages, releasing an album every few years without huge fanfare, but whose work within the industry, working with higher-profile musicians, has earned huge respect amongst her peers.Richey came late to the party; she was 37 when she signed her first record deal with Mercury Records. “I think when you’re older, I had more of a sense of myself, and what I was and wasn’t willing to do to get a record deal“, she says. It may or may not be coincidental that Richey’s…
Well that’s it from us for this sweltering week, and we leave you dear reader with a brand new track from Drew Danburry’s Icarus Phoenix outfit which he describes as “an upbeat fiendishly danceable song about being part of a cult and all the joys involved.” As he notes, “I met someone who survived a cult and explained in detail the things he went through. Some might argue that as an ex-Mormon myself, I survived a cult as well.” It’s taken from a new EP called Gallop which is due June 25th. Drew plays our Americana 25 festival in November…
Photo credit: Andrew FrolishWhen Kiefer Sutherland strode onto the stage at Norwich’s Adrian Flux Waterfront, the response from the packed crowd was immediate and thunderous. There was no slow build into the evening: Sutherland and his outstanding band launched straight into Down Below with pounding drums from Phil Wilson and the first flashes of the twin-guitar brilliance that would define the night. Chris Hillman, initially on pedal steel, drew out rich, cinematic notes while Ashley Wilson fired out a searing electric guitar solo. From the outset, this felt less like an actor indulging a musical side project and more like…

Kevin Jarvis photoTo say Ben Vaughn has had an eclectic musical career would be a gross understatement. He grew up in the Philadelphia area, and his journey into music began when a kind uncle gave him a Duane Eddy record. It literally changed his life. He formed his first ‘proper’ band in 1983: the Ben Vaughn Combo. They had a five-year career and released two albums to excellent reviews. Rocker Marshall Crenshaw was mighty impressed with what he heard and covered a track from the band, I’m Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee), for his Downtown album.This was the start…
There are rock biographies, and then there are monuments. Johnny Rogan’s Timeless Flight: The Definitive Biography of the Byrds, first published in 1981, belongs firmly in the latter categoryRogan was a twenty-something and still at Oxford when he completed the original book, and it’s very much the work of youthful enthusiasm. There’s a sense that every detail matters, that no session musician is too peripheral to interview, no contractual dispute too dry to document. I’ve got the 1989 revised edition, and he mentions in the introduction that it was up until that point 13 years’ worth of effort. It remains…

Watch a video for the new single “Dark Eyed Junco” below: “He was a ‘Dark Eyed Junco’ and I was a light-eyed weirdo,” explains Hersh. “We’d play basketball until after dark then, when we couldn’t even see the hoop any more, so that we didn’t have to go home. After our stepfather moved in, it wasn’t a home any more.” Pre-order Sugar On Blackstone here and peruse Hersh’s comprehensive UK/EU tour itinerary below (tickets here): 26…
