10 years of being a band, Mini Skirt have been pulling the thread and getting as much out of playing music as they can. Happy bricklaying or painting at home and happy enough on tour, it's a good life. Their latest album All That We Know is out now.

Mary in the Junkyard have released one of 2026's best albums with Role Model Hermit. Claris, Saya and David tell us how it feels in the whirlwind of the moment and squaring off their double lives of playing in an increasingly successful band while working at the George Tavern / teaching music / trial shifts at an oyster shucking bar. Role Model Hermit is out now and you can catch them live this year.

Masters of the chaotic clever song, Flo & Joan (Nicola and Rosie) take us back to double binbagging keyboards to gigs, how they weren't very good friends as kids but now they spend every waking minute together, and their two new projects; One Man Musical and With Feeling. Both of which are frankly mad and brilliant ideas.

PISS are a very important band. Tay Zantingh's lyrics on abuse and gender-based violence create an inclusive place of conversation, while the band's shake the house loudness can only be experienced in-person or a few live videos; until their debut album on Sub Pop comes out.

One of the best albums of 2026 so far is Ratboys' Singin to an Empty Chair. A comforting swell of unrushed, attentive indie rock 'n' roll, it sounds like a band who don't expect anything other than enjoying their time playing music and connecting with people. Julia and Sean from the band tell stories of first tours, funny jobs and extreme coffee highs.

Selling out two nights at Belfast's SSE Arena and new single The Sun Will Never Settle going straight to Number 1 - following their chart-topping album - you'd be forgiven for thinking Kingfishr are on top of the world on and off the stage. Eddie, Eoghan and Eoin tell us what's going on behind the scenes, the magic of their live show and how they wrote their banging new tune whilst driving around Ireland.

There needs to be crazy music in this world - and Lewis OfMan is here for the job. 50KWTTS is his insane new album, go and blast it to see yourself. He tells us about the school bad boy teaching him to DJ, and wanting to make a disgusting album of horrible sounds. Weird since it turned out so good.
