But the musical landscape slows for no band, and the alternative world that Opus Kink…

Both in New Haven and at the Madison Square Garden benefit concert for Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, the tour represented a sincere attempt by some of rock's most important protagonists to make the relationship between musicians and audiences more human.

Looking back, the dark, claustrophobic brand of UK drill pioneered by Peckham collective Zone 2 in the late 2010s is miles away from the more sanitised and commercial offshoots of the genre that have blown up in the years since. With members facing prison sentences, others fading into obscurity, and the likes of Kwengface and PS Hitsquad only recently finding success with solo pursuits, the group burned bright and fast; but their role in pushing UK drill into the mainstream is undeniable. “I see our influence in a lot of places, and it’s truly humbling,” PS tells NME over video…
