Last week, Frankie Archer released her brand new EP Pressure & Persuasion to a symphony of acclaim.

On Real Deal, their sophomore album, the band invites us back into familiar surroundings, this time, with a newfound vigour.

When Fat Dog first burst onto the scene with “King Of The Slugs” late last year, their arrival felt like a breath of fresh air against the backdrop of stagnating post-punk revivalists and a scene that was quickly losing its potency. Their full-fat party piece, with its tongue-in-cheek lyricism, chronicling slimy ascension to the apex of invertebrate monarchy immediately set them aside from the crowd. Little more than a year on, the band are poised to release their debut record WOOF via Domino Records. Ahead of the release, we had the opportunity to sit down with Joe Love, Chris Hughes, and Morgan Wallace on a rare day off to find out a little more about the bands journey to date and how they're adjusting to their new-found fame. “It’s fucking Fat Dog, baby!”

Since the release of their breakout single “Pista (Great Start)”, Los Bitchos have become the party that we believe in the most.

A year later and the masked musician has released a flurry of material to great acclaim, including the standout single, Man at the Party. Championed by industry talking heads and tastemakers alike, B is now setting her sights on a debut album, slated for release later this year. Before dropping her most recent singles ‘Master Debater’ and ‘You Do You’ we had the opportunity to sit down with her and take a rare peek behind the mask.
