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.

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.

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…
Originally published in Uncut Take 328 (August 2024) issue… 1973 marked a period of intense personal chaos for JOHN LENNON. Amid all this turbulence, however, he found creative sustenance with Mind Games – an album steeped in cosmic benevolence, emotional heft, introspection and, most importantly, love. As a new expanded edition shines a light on Lennon’s working methods, Peter Watts discovers an artist at a crossroads, looking inside himself for ways to move forward. “It’s my dad getting back on track, after a very experimental and volatile period,” says Sean Ono Lennon. “At times it went a bit out of…

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.…

Belle and Sebastian | Saint EtienneThe Piece Hall, Halifax22nd June 2026If You’re Feeling Sinister turns 30 this year, the album that took Belle and Sebastian from charming bedroom outliers to the architects of a shadow kingdom of misfits, malcontents, and the unconvinced.

Thomas Sidwell was there.Arguably the high point of their back catalogue, Belle and Sebastian played the album front to back on a glorious Sunday evening…
