In the magazine March 2013

Featuring Bastille, Palma Violets, Kate Nash, Wavves, Chloe Howl and more!

You might not know exactly who Dan Smith is just yet, but we’ll happily put our money on the chances of you having heard the name Bastille. Currently battling with Justin Timberlake for the top spot in the singles chart, this four-piece are taking over, right under our noses, and with no thanks to the hype machine.

In this month’s issue, DIY gets under the skin of frontman Smith, as he and his band prepare for their first real support experience, along with a massive show at Brixton Academy and the release of their debut album. Discover just what makes them so special, and just why they’re probably going to become the biggest band of 2013.

We also chat to Kate Nash and discover what’s been going on in that grrl’s world, Wavves tell us about the… Catholic influences on their forthcoming album and we find out exactly how far Daughter went to record their debut album.

We travel across the Atlantic to visit Palma Violets as they go head to head with Toronto, we found exactly what led to the reunion of Suede and we review a huge pile of albums, including David Bowie, Peace and Atoms For Peace.
