DIY Weekly, 24th March 2014 - Feat. Future Islands, Liars, Tokyo Police Club & More

Are Future Islands the most talked about band in the world right now? Statisticians might prove otherwise, but if the fallout from this year’s SXSW Festival is anything to go by, a beloved Baltimore band just broke big.

Owing in part to their hard work and, for the most part, the performance of their lives on Late Night With David Letterman, the world is finally ready to hear one of the most daring bands around.

They’re on the cover of the new DIY Weekly - free online and specifically designed for iPad, iPhone and Android devices.

Future Islands are joined by Tokyo Police Club, a Canadian band still capable of surprising and flipping the formula, awaiting more cult fandom in return.

Liars are similarly obsessed with reinventing the wheel, so much so it’s hard to keep track. They make sense of their ‘Mess’ by speaking to DIY.

There’s also an almighty amount of interviews in News, with Woman’s Hour, Howler, George Ezra, The Hold Steady and Fucked Up.

Plus we get the lowdown on Mazes’ big trip out to the States, where they’re recording their new album.

In Neu, Glass Animals discuss the science behind their success, as well as recounting this one time they accidentally ate St. Vincent’s dinner.

Reviews delivers the verdict on new albums from Liars, Future Islands, Howler, Foster the People and many more.
