Interview Superfood, Black Honey, Marika Hackman & Blaenavon get together for The School Reunion
What better way to reflect on the past 12 months than inviting some of ultimate DIY faves - and Class Of graduates - down to the pub for a good old fashioned natter about 2017?
As this year draws steadily to a close, and horrifically premature Christmas decorations begin to rear their heads across the country, we’re in need of a bit of a nap, dear readers. It’s been a jam-packed 2017 on all fronts, and pondering how best to look back on it all, we decided to invite a bunch of our faves to have it out over a pint. This lot have all featured in DIY’s Class Of… in the past, picked out as being set for big things in the future. And look at them all now!
Marika Hackman and Superfood, as you’ll probably know, released their second albums this year, both levelling up to a whole new realm of aceness in the process. Blaenavon, meanwhile, smashed it with their five-star rated debut, while Black Honey - hard at work on their own first full-length - ripped up the live circuit and saw exactly the kind of debauched sights fit for this round-table in the process.
So, with introductions out the way, no further ado is needed. Welcome to the School Reunion!
