In 2018, former Jethro Tull and Blodwyn Pig guitarist Mick Abrahams – who died in 2025 – told Prog about the highs and lows of a career that began in the ’60s and all but fizzled out as a result of health issues.There’s a moment during this meeting when Mick Abrahams gets rather emotional and has to choke back the tears. It’s understandable, because we’re talking about his poor health.“I had two heart attacks and a stroke almost at the same time [in November 2009]. Those have left their mark on me. I’m using a mobility scooter today because sometimes…
Much of the blame for this should be laid at the door of the writing. David Koepp is a scribe with a mixed bag of a track record, illustrated by the fact he penned the screenplays for both the magnificent Jurassic Park and the abominable Jurassic World Rebirth. Here, he’s taken an original story from Spielberg and built it into a 145-minute conspiracy thriller/chase movie that neither thrills nor gets any momentum going. In fact, it feels like a first draft that no one got around to actually scrutinising. That can be the only explanation for Disclosure Day’s sizeable flaws.…

Photo by Aaron IvesIn the tradition of bands naming themselves after specific places or landmarks, Winnipeg-based Leaf Rapids are named for a remote town in northwest Manitoba. Not necessarily easy to locate on a map, anyone would be hard-pressed to find the town purely by chance. It takes a bit of effort, and the same can be said for the band, but for the adventurous musical explorer, they are definitely worth venturing off the beaten track to seek out, as there is a trove of melodious sounds to be discovered.Formed in 2015, the band consists of Keri and Devin Latimer…
Despite supporting hundreds of young people every year, In-Spire Sounds has largely operated outside the spotlight. With the release of IN THE MIX: Volume 1, a 12-track mixtape written and performed entirely by the young people involved in the project, and its recent accreditation as an Alternative Education Provider, now felt like the right time to tell that story.We spoke with Kingsley Boyden about the origins of In-Spire Sounds, the impact music can have on young people’s lives, and why a recording studio can be much more than a place to make records.Before In-Spire Sounds, before the director title, there…
Andy Smith’s “No Way Home” transforms a frustrating real-life travel ordeal into an uplifting and cinematic indie rock anthem. The new song from the Adelaide singer-songwriter is one of those raw and honest efforts that hits you from the off…. aheartfelt indie rock anthem that turns adversity into an uplifting, cinematic, and thoroughly engaging listening experience.It’s all layered with delightful piano tones, crisp percussion, and, of course, his direct and emotive vocals. The chorus, around the one-and-a-half-minute mark, is very cinematic and atmospheric, with some organs joining the proceedings and helping to elevate it further.Towards the latter half of the…
FM PRO SpotlightPhiladelphia-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mallory Hawk releases Chinook, a debut album shaped by Southern memory, military-town pressure, rage, tenderness, and self-preservation. Chinook by Mallory HawkNamed after the heavy-lifting helicopters she heard growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, the record uses that machine as a personal image: rescue, strain, strength, and self-destruction locked into the same frame.Recorded with Sam Acchione at Headroom Studios, Chinook expands Hawk’s home demos into a full-bodied rock record, with bass, drum machine, organ, rhythm guitar, and lead guitar all feeding its wired, lived-in sound.For this FM PRO Quickfire 5, Hawk digs into hometown weight,…
It’s been a long time since Linkin Park have been at Download, and it’s almost as if the universe itself knew they were coming. The sky above hangs in hues of dusty lilac and pink, mimicking the swirling colours found in the cover art of their 2024 album, From Zero. It was 2014 when they were last here, and a short teaser trailer for their forthcoming film Unshatter plays out before they arrive, with Mike Shinoda confessing within it, “the hardest part of ending is starting up again.” Their comeback single The Emptiness Machine is the only fitting way to…

For Christopher Coe, live electronic music is less about control and more about possibility. The Melbourne-born, Irish-raised artist has spent years refining an approach built around modular systems, improvisation, and the unpredictability that comes with creating music in real time. From performances at Kappa Futur, Awakenings and Glastonbury to a residency at DC10 Ibiza and appearances at venues including HÖR and Sisyphos Berlin, Christopher Coe has established himself as one of the leading proponents of live electronic performance. Alongside co-founding Awesome Soundwave with Carl Cox, he continues to push the boundaries of live Techno through projects such as Modular Lounge,…
