In the magazine October 2013

Featuring Paramore, Haim, Sleigh Bells & More.

The new October issue of DIY is out now. As we mentioned yesterday, this month’s cover stars are the incredible Paramore. It’s been a difficult few years for the band, but now they’re back, undoubtedly stronger than ever. We meet the trio in the midst of a massive UK tour - their first time on the road on these shores since 2010 - to discuss exactly what’s happened over the past three years. From the hardships they’ve faced, to the growth they’ve undergone, they detail exactly what it’s like to be in the centre of the spotlight. The future’s looking bright for Paramore.Joining them in the new issue is LA trio Haim, who diss the “waiting game” of releasing an album and offer their love for British accents and percy pigs. There’s also Los Campesinos!, who give word on their new ‘No Blues’ record. We also get Gareth and Tom from the band to give us their knowhow on how to slip obscure football references into songs. Yuck return with their brilliant new record ‘Glow & Behold’. To celebrate the occasion, they were forced to take the “Yucky Roulette” challenge (a task to eat as many disgustingly flavoured sweets as possible). Find out how that went down inside the mag. Sleigh Bells get a cleaner cut while losing none of their venom, Panic! At the Disco’s Brendon Urie tells us what it’s like to finally feel at home andKids in Glass Houses find ‘Peace’ on their latest record.All that, plus interviews with Icona Pop & Poliça, Neu tips exciting new band Los Porcos, while albums from Lorde and Anna Calviget the DIY verdict.
