"As I’ve got older. it’s interesting to me that punk rock is as significant to me on a personal level as it was when I was 16. It does mean slightly different things to me now, when I was 16 I thought punk was going to change the world and if only everyone would listen to Minor Threat there’d be eternal international peace or whatever, but to me these days it’s about a tribe, it’s about community, it’s also about the ability to create a space in which you can organise the world in a way that makes sense to you.

Radiohead? Radiohead? Screw that. Reading and Leeds are rock festivals, damn it, and I’ll have mine with Jaegermeister and a distortion pedal, thank you very much. Sure, there’s no ‘metal day’ as such this year, but there’s still plenty going on, thanks to a liberal smattering of heavy bands across the three largest stages, and the two-day Lock Up tent. So then: black t-shirt and board shorts at the ready, I take to the moshpit.»

Too many protest singers but not enough protest songs? DiS talks to Frank Turner and Sam Duckworth about being pigeonholed as artists with something to rally against»

It's been pretty miserable at times - heavy, pluvial skies pathetic fallacy for debut all-dayers and long weekenders that have sometimes spluttered rather than flown out of the traps. The weather and the times - to an extent at least - brightened last weekend, with the traditional sign off from music in the sun that is Reading and Leeds. And that, I suppose, is reason enough to break from cynicism just this once. It was a bind, but there were finer times. Time to gather thoughts and lighten brows...»

The Camden Crawl is this week, on Thursday April 19 and Friday April 20 to be exact. Lots of bands, both large of profile and large of hype, will descend upon north London’s dirtiest streets to play rock music for you, the people with tickets. Tickets ripe for exchanging for wristbands. Wristbands you’ll use to get into lots of different clubs and pubs and bars. Clubs and pubs and bars which are playing host to bands. Et cetera...»

Yes, we realise this month’s A Month In Records is roughly a week late, but we’ve been suffering from something of an Our 66 hangover (click it for a link!). It’s okay, though: the painkillers have finally kicked in and, a few sour faces aside, we’re firing on all cylinders again.»
