DIY Weekly, 19th May 2014 - Feat. Thumpers, Pulled Apart By Horses & More

Good things come to those who wait, and the wait is over for Thumpers. Their giddy, joyous, brilliant pop is ready to be heard by the world.

With ‘Galore’ out today in the UK, our cover feature sees the London duo admitting that it hasn’t been an easy ride, but these two have stuck to their principles and released a debut they truly believe in.

Also in the new Weekly, Bo Ningen are riding a wave after the release of ‘III’, with listeners turning heads in unison to their freakish psych. A deadlier, more intense force than ever, the Japan via London four-piece speak to DIY about their steady progress.

Katy Goodman’s La Sera give good on their promise in a post-Vivian Girls landscape with new album ‘Hour of the Dawn’, and Royal Blood look ahead to their sort-of terrifying support slot at Arctic Monkeys’ Finsbury Park shows.

Pulled Apart By Horses give us the lowdown on their colossal new album, offering ferocity in spades, and Superfood dish out gossip on when exactly we can expect their debut album.

There’s also an interview with Real Friends, pop-punkers ready to make your acquaintance. In Neu, we give introductions to Jack Garratt and the impressive new Kwabs EP.

Reviews delivers the verdict on new albums from Coldplay, Conor Oberst, Thumpers & Tom Williams and the Boat. Live, we deal with the fallout from Tune-Yards and Panic! At the Disco’s impressive London shows.
