Eddie Sears is a man of many talents. Despite already being busy as a producer and a visual artist, the singer songwriter has penned one of the most exciting albums of 2023 under the moniker of Rocket Pengwin. With his debut locked and loaded for release this month, we jumped at the opportunity to pick his ever-busy brain.

From their humble beginnings on the BBC Music Introducing stage to making their main stage debut at Reading Festival this year, we spoke to hometown boys The Amazons about their recent collab with local football team Reading F.C. and how they mentally prepare for something as daunting as a hometown festival slot.

Starting out as a videographer and photographer, BVDLVD's musical career fell into place five years ago and he's been on the rise ever since. Now signed to Earache Records and with his new album 'ABSENCE' imminent, we caught up with the rising artist to discuss his influences, ambitions and more. 

We sat down with Jeremy Pritchard and Michael Spearman to discuss reissues, new music and looking back on their career.

We sat down with Thom Rylance and Kate Lloyd to discuss making records, breaking records and surprising collaborations.

Since they released their stunning 2022 album 'In Stasis', Monuments have been showing no signs of slowing down. Ever. Since then, they have dropped a brand new single and have been firm-favourites on international support tours, most recently supporting legends Leprous on their UK and European run. Back to their Radar stomping ground to headline the second stage on Friday, we sat down with the lovely Andy Cizek and Werner Erkelens to talk all about the band's latest single 'Nefarious', merch cuts, breaking Download Festival and why they love Radar Festival so damn much. 

Much like their peers in Polyphia, Unprocessed are a band starting to earn serious status. Their latest LP 'Gold' conveys this band's stunning ability to create a sensual tension with their instruments, something which feels authentic, raw and totally unique. Back at Radar Festival for a third year in a row, we sat down with guitarist Christoph Schultz and bassist David John Levy of Germany's instrumental wonders, to talk all about their recent Live In Texas footage, their relationship with TesseracT and their awe-inspiring performance at Radar Festival. 

As they approach the deadline to release their second studio album 'Human', French metalcore outfit Resolve are feeling more human than ever before. Their debut album 'Between Me And The Machine' cemented their identity of big breakdowns and even bigger melodies. But second time around Resolve have found their wings, expanding and experimenting with their sound while getting the most personal they have ever been on a body of work. Flying over to Radar Festival for their first ever UK festival appearance, we sat down with Resolve bassist Robin Mariat to talk all about the band's sonic duality, Siamese being party animals and their Radar Festival expectations. 

After years of teasing, Heavy Lungs have recently announced the release of their debut album 'All Gas No Brakes', and after a raucous set at Truck Festival, we caught up with lead singer Danny Nedelko to talk all things Heavy Lungs.

We found out what's going on in the world of Kid Kapichi when we sat down with Ben Beetham and Jack Wilson at 2000trees.
