Sløtface has always been a band in motion, known for their high-energy live shows, sharp-witted lyrics, and a fierce punk spirit. Before their gig at Bristol’s Exchange, I caught up with frontwoman Haley Shea in the venue’s cozy front bar. Over cups of tea, the anticipation of the night ahead buzzing quietly in the background, it becomes clear that Sløtface’s evolution has been more than just musical—it’s been deeply personal.

It was only last year that M.A.G.S. delivered 'Destroyer', a raw, edgy body of work, unknowingly prepared to echo the chaos looming on @elliott_mags horizon. In a surprising turn one year later, M.A.G.S. returns with 'Creator'. More than a remix, it’s a reimagining—a fresh start. This album reveals a new side of M.A.G.S., one where collaboration and flaws are not only welcomed but celebrated, coloring his work in beautiful, unexpected ways.

Meeting your favorite band is an experience most fans can only dream of. For me, that dream became a reality when I sat down with Phil Jamieson and Jonny Ashburn of Caspian. To finally see them live, and to also share time and conversation together, was a surreal and unforgettable experience. As they celebrate both the band’s 20th anniversary and ArcTanGent's 10th, we spoke about the past, the present, and their reflections on two decades of music, camaraderie, and growth.
