DIY Weekly, 28th October 2013 - Feat. Savages, White Denim & More

On the front of the new DIY Weekly - the free music weekly - is a British band who aren’t staying quiet, despite the title of their debut album demanding otherwise.

Savages’ ‘Silence Yourself’ is a disruptive beast. Their post-punk roars and spoils the scene, and it’s landed them a nod in this year’s Mercury Prize. They speak to DIY about pushing the boundaries of being a band, and how their ethos has stayed resolute from day one.

On the topic of the Mercury Prize, DIY takes a look at every nominee - from favourites Disclosure to outsiders Villagers - and gives its verdict on each act’s chances of picking up the gong this Wednesday (30th October).

Keeping things topical, in News a handful of bands look back on Halloween memories and share their best (and worst) costume ideas.

Probably shunning a Halloween party or two and sticking to the studio are White Denim. They discuss putting in the hours for their latest album ‘Corsicana Lemonade’.

In Neu, the refreshing future-pop of Chela comes under the spotlight and DIY favourites Parlour provide an exclusive mix. There’s also a verdict on enigmatic London ‘collective’ Jungle’s first live shows.

Albums from Los Campesinos!, Gambles & more get the DIY verdict and live-wise, there’s word from the most successful Sŵn Festival to date.
