DIY Weekly, 28th April 2014 - Feat. Clean Bandit, Pixies, Wolf Alice & More

The first month of 2014 belonged to Clean Bandit, arriving with one of the biggest-selling singles of the year in ‘Rather Be’.

Now the classical-fusionists are on the cover of DIY Weekly, standing out as a group throwing out the rulebook. Listening to their chart-topping pop gives both a ‘Why didn’t I think of this?!’ feeling and a big sense of excitement at just how far these guys can go.

Elsewhere in our Weekly edition - specifically designed for Apple and Android devices and available to read online - indie giants Pixies sit down to talk about their return after a casual twenty three years without an album. Dave Lovering and Joey Santiago spoke to DIY about why it’s good to be back.

In Neu, fresh faces The Acid finally spill the beans on their previously secret new project, with Ry X, Adam Freeland and Steve Nalepa more than happy to talk about an inspiring debut album.

Ahead of this year’s Liverpool Sound City we speak to Aussies Jagwar Ma, and pre-Live At Leeds we catch up with headliners of the DIY Stage Pulled Apart By Horses.

Brody Dalle tells all about her first work as a solo artist following life in The Distillers, and Wolf Alice explain how triumphant new EP ‘Creature Songs’ had an unexpected muse.

In Reviews, we deliver verdicts on new albums from Damon Albarn and Kelis, while heading out to see SOHN and Lucius live, plus Nottingham’s noise-fest Hit the Deck.
