The new September 2014 issue of DIY is out now, available to read online, with copies available via our usual stockists across the UK.
September’s magazine has everyone’s favourite crisp packet-licking, tessellate-friendly band on the cover: Alt-J.
This month’s cover feature brings together Big Topics like Gary Barlow and the Illuminati, all while whittling down to the all important subject: The madness behind Alt-J’s second album, ‘This Is All Yours’.
Elsewhere in the new DIY, you’ll find features on the long-awaited, triumphant return of DFA 1979. 10 years after their cult favourite debut, they remain the perfect band, a duo like no other.
They’re battling it out with the success story of the year: Royal Blood. The Brighton pair look back on their heady first year and eye up an exciting future.
Also inside: Perfume Genius finds his inner scream with new album ‘Too Bright’, and JAWS detail what it’s like to fight past the perils of being a hype band.
Plus, it’s Transgressive Records’ birthday, and to celebrate DIY’s been given an insight into their remarkable first ten years.
Paramore head up the fallout from this year’s Reading & Leeds, and we interview the likes of Christopher Owens and Avi Buffalo about their new releases.
Neu tips exciting new music from Shura and Vaults, while in reviews, we deliver verdicts on new releases from DFA 1979 and Gerard Way, both of which are absolute giants.
We’ve also got all the details for this year’s DIY Presents Tour 2014, in association with PledgeMusic.
