Paul McCartney at the Roundhouse, London. June 10th, 2026

The Boys of Dungeon Lane in Conversation

Two weeks ago, if you were to tell me that I would get to spend an evening in the presence of the Beatle whose music and lyrics have fundamentally changed my life, I would have thought you were joking. Sir Paul and I have just about missed each other very time he’s toured—only the other day I was lamenting the fact I might never get to see him in the flesh. And yet, this past Wednesday I found myself far from the Beatles posters tacked up in my room in Glasgow, leaning over the balcony of the Roundhouse in London. Sir Paul McCartney himself was sat on stage, completely at ease, and I had to constantly blink to remind myself that this was no hallucination: Mr. Yesterday and Mr. Band on the Run was really there in front of me, chatting about his new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane.

Holly Head - I’VE HAD WANT

New Single From one of Manchester's most vital underground bands

Holly Head’s credentials as purveyors of visceral, politico-punk founded on contagious grooves meet sonic evolution on I’ve Had Want, the four-piece’s fourth single. Following a hugely successful UK tour earlier this year as main support to Westside Cowboy, the band returns with a track that balances familiar rhythmic imperative and socio-political weight with moments of their own, classic indie proclivities.

ICEMAN

Drake

ICEMAN is the Canadian artist's first solo album since his infamous beef with Kendrick Lamar, and it feels like he never left. Rather than avoiding the criticism surrounding him, he confronts it head-on and uses it as motivation. The album demonstrates that, despite intense public scrutiny and one of the biggest rap feuds in modern history, Drake still possesses the confidence, influence and star power that have defined his career for over a decade.

As he prepares for a busy summer of performances across Ibiza, Paris and Miami, this latest release feels like a statement of intent: reflective without becoming trapped in nostalgia, and confident enough to explore new territory without losing sight of the emotional core that made listeners connect with his music in the first place.
