Rock It From The Tombs
As Queens Of The Stone Age release a new stripped-down concert film, Josh Homme recounts his “near-life experience” in the Paris catacombs… “About 18 years ago, I was trying to go to the catacombs on a day off in Paris, and the line was three hours long. So the un-humble beginnings was like, ‘How do we cut this line?’ Perhaps the greatest gift of playing in a band is that it gives us access to such incredible locations and situations. There’s no end to the juicy stories about the catacombs. There’s been talk of secret meetings...
The 5th New Music Playlist Of 2025
A lot to dig into here, as usual. The return of Big Thief and Cate Le Bon are both pretty big deals in our world, but there’s an unexpected treat from Pavement (which reminded me of an old office conversation about favourite covers of “Whitchitai-To“; I think the Supremes version won…), the Al Jardine x Neil Young hook up, ambient Americana from the Barry Walker Unit, psych jams from Bitch Magnet offshoot We Contain Multitudes… plus more from Uncut office favourites including S.G. Goodman, Case Oats and Eve Adams. THE JULY 2025 ISSUE OF UNCUT IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER...

Sufjan Stevens Carrie & Lowell (10th Anniversary Edition)
After 2010’s The Age Of Adz, on which Sufjan Stevens ditched his signature indie-folk banjo and recorders for glitchy beatscapes and experimental pop, Carrie & Lowell landed as a hushed and heartbreakingly raw excavation of the darkness that enveloped him following his mother Carrie’s death in 2012. Its songs, attempts to make sense of her troubled life and their relationship, are among the most forlorn in his catalogue. They’re also some of the loveliest.

Pulp More
Do you remember the first time? Isn’t that the question that’s implied in every reunion tour, comeback album or immersive holographic experience? This summer you have the opportunity to see Oasis, AC/DC, ELO and 5ive for maybe the last time, each offering the promise that they’ll recapture something of their elusive 20th-century magic and the slim chance they might transport you fleetingly back to your long lost youth.

When Bruce Springsteen Came To Britain
Just about everybody who’s been to a Bruce Springsteen show has a story, and Hazel Wilkinson’s is particularly lovely one. She was a teenager when her brother queued all night for tickets to see Springsteen and the E Street Band at Manchester Apollo in May 1981, on the European leg of the River tour. They were at the front of the stalls when, two songs into the second half, Bruce sang “Sherry Darling”. During the saxophone solo he peered down at Hazel, called her up, and danced across the stage with her for a minute or two. THE JULY...
Strange Life
“I’m not sure we should have agreed to this,” Stephen Malkmus muses during the extraordinary new documentary Pavements. “Has there ever been a good movie about a rock band?” There certainly hasn’t been a rock doc like this one, which eschews convention at every stage in favour of meta-realities and roleplay, echoing the band’s own approach on albums like Wowee Zowee. “It’s a sprawling record with lots of different ideas positioning for your attention,” explains guitarist Scott ‘Spiral Stairs’ Kannberg. “The movie is sort of like that. Here’s this band… and what’s real and what’s not?” THE JULY 2025...Recent Posts
