101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder

10 years of being a band, Mini Skirt have been pulling the thread and getting as much out of playing music as they can. Happy bricklaying or painting at home and happy enough on tour, it's a good life. Their latest album All That We Know is out now.

Mary in the Junkyard have released one of 2026's best albums with Role Model Hermit. Claris, Saya and David tell us how it feels in the whirlwind of the moment and squaring off their double lives of playing in an increasingly successful band while working at the George Tavern / teaching music / trial shifts at an oyster shucking bar. Role Model Hermit is out now and you can catch them live this year.

Masters of the chaotic clever song, Flo & Joan (Nicola and Rosie) take us back to double binbagging keyboards to gigs, how they weren't very good friends as kids but now they spend every waking minute together, and their two new projects; One Man Musical and With Feeling. Both of which are frankly mad and brilliant ideas.

Julian Pratt has morphed from chaos-chasing NY street rat into a father who's finding ways to make a positive impact. Alone Together (out 10 July) is a through-and-through hardcore record, impossible to not dance to and feel the energy from. They're on tour in Europe, UK and the States - catch them live when you can.
