Gentilesky: Dream Slovenly RecordingsVinyl & DigitalOut NowItalian-Turkish punk outfit releases their second album, reclaimed feminine rage front and centre, shortening the gap between 17th-century subversive art and modern radical expression. MK Bennett hosts.You may well hear the pensioners talking about this new thing, this feminism. Remind them that women’s lives have always been made irreparably worse by men’s behaviour, no matter how brightly they shone. Artemisia Gentileschi is an extreme and salient case in point. Contemporary and very much an equal of Caravaggio, she was nevertheless expected to follow the same old traditions, bound by dumb design. Her story is…
This article originally appeared in Uncut Take 339 [June 2025] A pro ’til the very end, Jim Keltner still talks about his home neighbourhood of Los Feliz in terms of its proximity to his place of work for the last six decades. “It’s basically three or four minutes to any of the studios in Hollywood.

Based in Los Angeles, Reina Mora delivers heartfelt emotional pop on “Bad Decision”. From the very start of the song, within the first 10 seconds, you are greeted by atmospheric guitar and her stunning vocals…. a shimmering, emotionally rich pop track that blends intimacy, nostalgia, and uplifting radio-ready energy.Before the percussion even comes in, it carries a soft mid-2000s feel that recalls some of the best indie music from the UK during that era. It is very upbeat, with bouncy guitar lines, but once the sweeping percussion and soothing backing vocals arrive, the track takes on a new life. It…

Originally published in Uncut Take232 (September 2016 issue)… “We were all walking through Macy’s to a local mall,” remembers MC and producer Dave Jolicoeur, “and I saw a Mickey-Mouse T-shirt with a big daisy on it. It just looked great, and I was like, ‘How could I incorporate something that looks so cool to me into what we’re doing? What could daisy mean and be really cool?’” With that revelation, Dave (then known as Trugoy) invented the ‘DAISY Age’ – ‘Da Inner Sound, Y’All’ – the concept that would embody De La Soul’s intelligent, sensitive lyrics, colourful style and sly…
Cable Boy: Forever (Self Release)Out NowDublin five-piece Cable Boy arrive with their long-awaited debut Forever, a record that feels both like a culmination of the band’s work so far and, more so, a clear statement of intent.Having steadily built a reputation among Ireland’s emerging acts, the band lean confidently into that momentum here, delivering a project that balances atmosphere with urgency, borrowing from dreampop, shoegaze and indie on a 13-track album which captures moments of all three.Album opener, PLCD, sets the tone gradually unravelling from the dotted sprawl of field recordings and fuzzy guitar squeals into a tight soundscape of…

As Byford said: “We were in the right place at the right time.”Article continues below You may…

Channelling the raw energy of the likes of Soundgarden and Black Sabbath, the guys have already notched up fifty gigs and aren’t showing any signs of slowing down. We had a chat with the band to talk about their “drywall” guitars, the Bruce Dickinson track that inspired their name, and why they reckon their…
