It’s been a whirlwind year for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 5 runner-up, Michael Marouli. Fresh off the runway, Michael has leapt into the world of scripted television with a guest appearance in the new Paramount+ romantic comedy series, The Road Trip, which premiered on December 26, 2024. Our roving reporter Taylor Trash caught up with Michael to […]

One of our favourite discoveries of last year was God’s Mom, fronted by singer/songwriter Bria Salmena as she explored folk music from her Calabrian heritage through the spectrum of electronica from Ballroom to Bass. It looks like we’ll be even bigger Salmena fans this year as she just revealed her plans for 2025 – namely the […]

A new artist for Loverboy in 2025, but one whose sound is rooted in the golden era of the psychedelic seventies, Neal Francis is here with new single, ‘What’s Left of Me.’ The Chicago singer/songwriter has already released two albums that look to that 70s funk, soul & rock blend and is now teaming up […]

Never let it be said that the British artiste Tom Aspaul does not like to surprise. Last year he told Loverboy that his new material would be about a woozy, pschedelic trip in a Swedish sauna.

We’re officially at the half way point, with just six months to go until the next edition of Primavera Sound.

Storming forward from 2025’s starting blocks, and kicking out gleefully at anything that moves, Brighton-based Lambrini Girls have exactly the album to throw you forward into the new year with your fists swinging in Who Let The Dogs Out – out now via City Slang. Following their critically-acclaimed EP, ‘You’re Welcome’, which contained messages of anti-transphobia (‘Terf Wars’) […]

Spotify’s Wrapped really did a number on us this year. Instead of reminding us of all the stellar new artists we had discovered during the last twelve months, they just revealed how basic our every day tastes really were. Also a reminder of why we hate the platform, Wrapped definitely has a bias towards the […]

It’s just been announced that Steps’ Lee Latchford-Evans will now be joining the cast of the smash & Juliet on its current tour of the UK & Ireland. Steps are the UK’s most successful mixed gender pop group of all time along with being one of Britain’s queerest and camp bands ever. Taking on the role of […]

If you just lived your best brat summer then pull on your Bikini & Trackie for a bangin’ Babymorocco winter. Pop really has been dominated by the girlies in 2024, but this week London’s rudeboi Babymorocco just threw his Hyperpop hat into the ring with Amour. Like Charli’s concept for a Y2k, messy, Ed Hardy-dressed […]
