Gett OFF to Poland: a festival preview
While there are those who’ll merrily hold court for hours over how much the British festival scene has changed over the last 20 years or so, the erection of a fence near Pilton has got nothing on Poland, which has gone from Eastern Bloc austerity to gen»
Close to P4K-tion: DiS does the Pitchfork Music Festival
While it'll probably be nigh on time for the Apocalypse before consensus has finally been reached on whether Pitchfork represents the apotheosis of music journalism or everything wrong with everything, there's no denying that Ryan Schreiber and cohorts st»
Glastonbury 2009: DiS briefly shuts up, bands have their say
As you're doubtless getting bored/angry with the reams of subjective blather DiS has been throwing up over the UK's flagship festival, our mini Glastonbury preview week today hands the metaphorical mic to a selection of people who, er, know how to use a real one. All performing at the festival this year, Maximo Park's Paul Smith, Fucked Up's Damian Abraham, Emmy The Great and Broken Records' Ian Turnbull have all gallantly turned their little grey cells to pondering the meaning of the modern Glastonbury Festival.»
In Photos: Shred Yr Face 2 with The Bronx, Fucked Up and Rolo Tomassi
Shred Yr Face is back, and this time it's hardcore: pictures of The Bronx, Fucked Up and Rolo Tomassi in London inside.»
My tour in lists: ten reasons why F^cked Up love the UK
Imagine, if you will, 10, 000 Marbles coming at you all at once. What would you do? Run away? It'd almost certainly be futile. Imagine the coverage! The F^cked Up live experience is similarly inescapable, and the band are over here again at the end of the month for Shred Yr Face 2, also featuring Rolo Tomassi and The Bronx. »
What some of our favourite musicians hope for in 2009...
As part of our vague 2009 preview week this week, we thought it might be nice to catch up with some of our acts of last year and new acts we're excited about and ask them what they're looking forward to in 2009. This is what they said:»

Q: What do you want for Xmas? A: From lots of our favourite musicians
DiS asked some of the makers of some of our albums of the year, as well as some of our tips for next year, what they want for Christmas. As we expected time off seems to be top of a lot of non-stop touring bands lists...»
Reading/Leeds '08: What Our Writers Thought
Another year, another big weekend at Reading and Leeds festival. DiS sent along some of our finest scribes and asked them to scribble about their five favourites of the weekend. Here's what we got back from them»
T In The Park Diary Part 1: Saturday 12 July
Feeling decidedly less sturdy of liver than it did this time last week, DiS brings you the first installment of its two-day jaunt round a bladder-battered T In The Park»
Supersonic 2008: the DiS review

DiS went to South By Southwest 2008 and all we got were these photographs... and these words... and no sun burn this time... mercifully»
Year of the Punks: F*cked Up on breaking through in '08
They're NSFW through 'n' through, from the name to the attitude and the riotous live shows, but F*cked Up might be 2008's punk-rock success story. Currently in the UK supporting Gallows, the Canadians spill all to DiS»
DiS's tale of the Jackalope: Comedowns littered like wheezing black holes
It's like a festival having been circumcised, serving a purpose but lacking in providing anything much in the way of true enjoyment. With reams of tickets going spare in tight pockets, curling like thin-cleaved skin we begin the joyless, 12-hour odyssey home to bed. No sleep on concrete, no sleep on trains, with little to rationalise the ache...»
Some Questions: F*cked Up
Fucked Up aren’t your average punk-rockers. The Toronto quintet is deadly serious about their chosen art, and decidedly more savage of song than many a peer. They don’t aim to perfect their art, though – this is catharsis at its finest, expression at its most violent...»
