“This music, maybe it’s the last National album”

Buddy’s bud steps away from blues and into his own shoes

Six-strings and one beautiful mind

Reading rockers poised for primetime

Choice picks from the Maxïmo Park lynchpin

British blues hero-in-the-making drops his debut

A funeral of hearts for the AR doom metallers

Lune-y tunes from London indie rockers

The man in black metal gets a little bit country

Gut-wrenching grit-rockers paint it black

Post-punks making the brutal beautiful

Bright, bold and innovative, Temples banish doom and gloom

Bristol punks’ righteously annoyed noise

Reflections from The Mission/Sisters Of Mercy frontman

Conviction, craft and killer riffs

From busker to bus tour - meet the beefed-up-slide-slinging ’Bandits

I spy amazing guitar players, summer edition

Hull’s harmonic generators

Inventive minimalist songwriter making a lot from a little

Guitarist Christian Bland on the psychedelic band’s fifth album

Deft alt-rockers balance darkness and light

Norse horde takes up the axes

The UK singer-songwriter picks the brave and the blue

Artfully airy indie heirs feeling Fahey

Fine folkies giving us the feels
