In the magazine October 2019
Featuring Iggy Pop, Tegan and Sara, Kele Okereke, King Nun & more!
For 50 years, Iggy Pop has been the man your mother warned you about and we grabbed him on the phone (soz, mum) for our October Issue to chat, well, pretty much everything. And though, these days, he’s more into exercise than ecstasy, the 72-year-old is still defying expectation with every turn.
Charlie from Shame, Mez from LIFE and Dani from Surfbort also tell us about how the godfather of punk has inspired them, before the man himself leaves us with a motto for life: “If I don’t fucking like you, then fuck you!” Iconic.
Elsewhere in the mag, we talk teenage diaries with Tegan and Sara, before Kele Okereke fills us in on his forthcoming solo album ‘2042’. On the eve of their debut album ‘MASS’, we find King Nun all grown up, while DIIV talk us through the rocky road to upcoming LP ‘Deceiver’.
We also catch up with Birmingham indie legends Swim Deep who reveal all about ‘Emerald Classics’, as well as getting BATTLES to wax lyrical on ‘Juice B-Crypts’, and that’s all before we meet exciting newbies Biig Piig, Dry Cleaning and LAUNDRY DAY.
Had enough? Well too bad, because there’s loads more in there too! So grab a copy from your nearest stockist or order one straight to your door right here, right now. You’re welcome.
