Joshua Idehen - "I wanna tell you it was determination. No, it was MONEY"
When Joshua Idehen was working at burlesque bar, he couldn't imagine a life making music and poetry full-time. But since moving to Sweden, a country that values art by investing in artists, he has found peace with being a working musician. His debut album I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try is out in March 2026 on Heavenly. Photo: Fabrice Bourgelle

Stop & Chat: Home Front's Graeme MacKinnon
I first saw Home Front supporting High Vis at Islington Assembly Hall, one of the rare shows that felt like a real moment suspended in time. I fell in love with their new wave / oi! inspired weirdo punk rock, and their new album Watch It Die (out 14 November) sounds like it's gonna be ace. Here's singer Graeme on being 42 in a punk band, punk houses, sleeping on the job and influential Canadian bands D.O.A. and Fucked Up. Pre order Watch It Die - https://lavidaesunmus.bandcamp.com/album/watch-it-die
