In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to re-introduce you to frequently featured, upcoming artist HoodTrophy Bino and his brand new single titled “Fell 4 It” featuring Baby Money. HoodTrophy Bino continues to build momentum with the release of his latest single, “Fell 4 It,” featuring Detroit heavyweight Baby Money. Out now, the collaboration brings together two artists whose styles complement each other effortlessly, delivering a record packed with confidence, sharp lyricism, and the kind of authenticity that can’t be manufactured. “Fell 4 It” showcases the chemistry between Los Angeles native HoodTrophy Bino…
The remarkable debut of a 21st-century crooner.Where do crooners come from? Surely this thought must have kept you awake in the late hours, when time stands still and there’s nothing to do but face the big questions in life. If we were to make a case study of Andrew Sa, nothing would seem strange about a childhood riding around in a Ford F150 for his mother’s travelling karaoke business. It would also only be natural for names like Roy Orbison or Patsy Cline to emerge as inspirational figures for the young crooner-to-be. But of course, regardless of origin stories, the…
Putting some meat on the bones of last week’s passing reference to a new album when announcing their upcoming live dates, we can now reveal that the new album by The Jayhawks is called Sanctuary Park and it’s due to be released on the 28th of August, with the lead single Keeping Our Heads Above Water being released today. While the album title references an actual location in Dundas, Ontario, Sanctuary Park in the band’s vision is also being used as a fictional place where distant memories re-emerge, childhood friends from years prior start speaking again, and teenage lovers start…
5. Could you tell us more about the creative process behind ‘Only Young Once’?I prepared digital synthesizers in my DAW that I thought sounded nice together. Then, using a MIDI controller, I started arranging the sounds. I looped a vocal and played in the synth chords. I thought it would sound really nice to have a deep bassline and a bouncy kick drum like those summer hits in the 2000s did.6. Was this track inspired by a particular person, event or situation?As I was gathering the lyrics, I tried to think about how far I have come from where I…
© Adam WilliamsDownload Festival – Sunday (also see Friday and Saturday)Donington Park, Derbyshire14th June 2026By Sunday morning, Download Festival has become a test of character. Rather more specifically, a test of how many questionable decisions made last night could be overcome with coffee and stubbornness.Whatever optimism exists when my alarm goes off quickly disappears. Cameras stay in the bag. The campsite looks brighter than any human being should reasonably be expected to tolerate. Bands are playing somewhere. I assume they are probably very good. Eventually, however, duty calls.And so my final day at Download Festival begins not with an early…
“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…
