August’s edition of Dork is on the streets now!
Our new issue features the brilliant Glass Animals on the cover. We pop round frontman Dave Bayley’s mum’s house to find out ‘How to be a Human Being’. We’re not socially inept. That’s the name of their brillo second album, due out later this month.
Elsewhere there’s more great bands than you can shake a glow stick at. There’s Wild Beasts, who have shifted position on their latest full-length ‘Boy King’ to dramatic effect. There’s Moose Blood, who have dropped an album so good it deserves to cross over all the musical lanes. There’s Ezra Furman, Slow Club, Alt-J‘s Thom Sonny Green, Blossoms, Of Montreal. It’s easier to say what there isn’t, if we’re honest.
We also preview Reading & Leeds, with Biffy Clyro talking before their second shot at the headline slot, the best bill-topper picked by their peers, and a whole bunch of bands you should check out profiled. White Lies give us the lowdown on their forthcoming album ‘Friends’, Honeyblood make us a killer, bangin’ play-list, Black Peaks send us a postcard and Deap Vally take on our 20 questions.
As if that wasn’t enough, Hype introduces Toothless, The Parrots, Black Foxxes and LANY, plus all the latest reviews, including what went down at Latitude 2016.
