What band did you discover in 2025 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
Stress Positions. Recommended me by the Converge gang. Absolutely brutal band, really great.
How will you remember 2025 (in terms of music)?
For me, it would be my festival in Edinburgh, Lost Evenings 8, and the set by Arab Strap in particular. Amazing show. Also my 3000th show in London in February.
What can we look forward to from you in 2026?
Much touring.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2026?
The new Converge record. One of my favourite bands of all time.
Singles rule the music scene right now. How has that affected you as a band or label? Has it influenced your approach to new releases or touring?
Changes like this to the music landscape come and go. I do my best to ignore them; that's served me well for 25 years and counting.
