BBC DJ and presenter Trevor Nelson has announced he is taking a break from his BBC Radio 2 show for medical reasons. The Radio 2 and 1Xtra presenter, who has been off air this week after undergoing tests, announced that he is “taking a little break from my work commitments” due to “health issues” yesterday (June 26). He did not go into detail about his diagnosis, but told his Instagram followers that he was now “concentrating on getting better”. “Some of you may already have noticed that I’ve not been on my daily Radio 2 slot this week,” he told…

The path of Italian punk immediately crossed that of the so-called “crazy rock”: above all Skiantos and very early Gaznevada, from Bologna, progenitors of both strands; the movement expresses an antithetical approach to that of “committed” songwriting, well represented by “Largo all' avant-garde”: “All singer-songwriters buy / As oarsmen do / When they want to do choirs / That smell of flowers” or by the provocations of “Nevadagaz” (“At midnight on the streets of East Berlin / automatons in SA uniforms / sprinkle the streets with Nevada Gaz / neon swastikas on the city walls”). It is just one of…

Welcome to the BadlandsWhere the sky expands and you and I expire With “Little Wide Open” Kevin Morby creates a new (the third) heartfelt tribute to the places of the Midwest. Between myth and material reality, the “badlands” now relocated by Morby to the center of America (“Javelin”) devour those who pass through them: under the overwhelming grandeur of the firmament and along the expanses of lavender “we are just passengers passing through”. But they are also places far from the frenzy of the metropolis, perfect for rest, at least until the tornado sirens sound. Heaven or hell, then? If…

Hachiko public SUPERHYPERTROIAthe deluxe of HYPERTROIAthe album released in February 2026. Out everywhere for La Crème Records, the reissue expands the imagery of the original album with new songs and a long list of collaborations. But to understand why we are talking about it, it is best to start from a question that many have asked: who is Hachiko really? Who is Hachiko: the disguised project that no one can identify Hachiko it is one of the most particular cases on the recent Italian scene. Behind the name there is not just one person, but a project: a performer who…

This weekend sees the launch of the inaugural Everywhere At Once festival – with huge names and rising stars taking to hundreds of stages in grassroots venues across the UK in a bid to entertain the masses while we sit out Glastonbury. Rizzle Kicks and Inspiral Carpets are among the artists taking part, explaining to NME why this event matters. Hundreds of thousands would have flocked to Worthy Farm this weekend, however with the festival taking its traditional fallow year to allow the land to recover, an opportunity arose for the Music Venue Trust and the many essential gig spaces…

A city for singing. That is, the story in music of the great international metropolises, but also of the small urban centers that they have inspired the great historical singer-songwriters, the chansonniers, the folk minstrels, but also a myriad of pop-rock groups of every generation. We start from the docks and the sailors of the port of “Amsterdam”, expertly narrated by Jacques Brel in one of his classics, for a long journey that takes us to the cold of Copenhagen (a vintage Scott Walker), Warsaw (the Bowie of “Low“) and Berlin (the heterogeneous tandem Lou Reed-Alphaville), up to the fascinating…

“20?” CORRECT. How do you look back on that period? “Fondly. Throughout my twenties, there were phases of looking back on it in a cringe-worthy way because, ultimately, we were teenagers making music. When you're in your mid-twenties, you rebel from that a bit, but now I'm in my thirties I look back on it as a magical time and a whirlwind. Before my wedding [in 2024]I sat in a cubicle with my best man, Cavan [McCarthy]our bassist, at my stag-do. We were crying to each other about how much we'd done together, and we'd never really had that conversation…
