Sex Pistols, Royal Albert Hall, London, March 24, 2025
Moments before the Sex Pistols launch into a scathing version of “Problems”, frontman Frank Carter tells the massed punks in the Royal Albert Hall that is the first time Steve Jones has ever visited the venue. That’s something of a surprise given that not only has Jones spent 50 years in the music industry, but before that he was the teenage master of blagging his way into West London venues, usually to liberate some of the gear. But this evening’s show marks his debut – as well as one of the more unlikely shows the hall has seen in...
Sex Pistols Live In The USA 1978
The Sex Pistols’ chaotic tour of America in 1978 has always divided opinion. For some observers – and even participants – it was a disaster, “the worst thing you’ve ever seen”, as John Lydon said at one show, and “a complete circus” as Steve Jones remembered in his autobiography. But others were enthused. American critics raved about the shows, while Rory Gallagher was at the infamous final show in San Francisco. Deciding that “this is as close to Eddie Cochran as you’re going to see”, he promptly abandoned the album he’d recorded with Elliot Mazer and regrouped with a...
Bob Mould Here We Go Crazy
On Bob Mould’s last solo album, 2020’s Blue Hearts, he unleashed a fire in his belly. The album contained a series of polemics that railed against the state of America and all the parallel injustices and inequalities that he saw mirroring the Reagan era that defined his formative years. On the follow-up, his 15th solo album, the same musical dynamism can be heard – striking, sharp, sub-three-minute bursts of intense pop-coated alt.rock that recalls the fizzy joy of the Buzzcocks – but Mould’s political bite is tamed here. Instead, it’s a record that grapples with his own life, past,...
We’re New Here: Silver Synthetic
“We’ve definitely refined our sound on Rosalie,” says singer-guitarist Chris Lyons of Silver Synthetic’s latest album. “We were still figuring out who we were on our first record, but this one has a clearer identity. It’s just a lot more dynamic.” Advertisement A beatific union of cosmic Americana and harmonious guitar grooves, Rosalie is certainly a step up from the New Orleans quartet’s 2021 debut. Its charm partly lies in its warm evocation of another era, while also aligning the band to contemporaries like Rose City Band or Beachwood Sparks. Indeed, the latter’s Brent Rademaker was so impressed that...
Mac Mikes and His Star-Studded Crew Deliver “TURNAROUND”
Mac Mikes has returned to the hip-hop scene with “TURNAROUND,” a compelling new single featuring an impressive roster of collaborators including ZayBang, Lil Yee, and Baby Money. The track, accompanied by a visually striking music video directed by Suave, pulses with hard-earned grit and relentless drive—themes deeply rooted in Mac Mikes’ personal journey through the criminal justice system. According to Euro Step, the team behind Mac Mikes, the additions of Lil Yee and Baby Money were last-minute decisions that ultimately transformed the track. “Their energy and style blended effortlessly,” the team explains, highlighting how these spontaneous collaborations often yield...
Ultimate Record Collection: The Beatles, 1965-1970
As we join the Beatles in the latest Ultimate Record Collection, it is the start of 1965, and Beatlemania is cresting. You can tell because there are still seemingly dozens of new singles, Eps, US album variations, and key personal appearances appearing in our definitive timeline. On the covers of their records they appear under umbrellas, joining hands, and on stage. But which is the truest representation of the group? Perhaps it’s the tired eyes of the 1964 Beatles For Sale group, on an EP which appears at the start of the year which tells the truest story. The...
Led Zeppelin: “‘Kashmir’ was new music, no one had ever heard anything like it.”
Led Zeppelin are on the cover of Uncut’s April 2025 issue, as Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones celebrate the 50th anniversary of Physical Graffiti with exclusive new interviews.
