With a highly anticipated new EP on the horizon and an incredibly busy tour schedule unfolding, Nyrobi from Nottingham's rising "chaotic good" sister duo ALT BLK ERA sat down with Hannah to chat about the creative fire keeping their engine running.

In this insightful interview, Nyrobi opens up about the raw emotions of being a young person navigating 2026, building a safe haven for their alternative community via Discord, and the unique challenges and triumphs of writing genre-bending music with her sister, Chaya. We also touch upon her incredibly personal advice for musicians managing chronic illnesses, their dream collaborations with artists like Ashnikko, and their pure excitement ahead of making their live debut in front of a notoriously wild Glasgow crowd this Sunday.

Eight years after their last full-band trek to Glasgow, California’s premier ska-punk party starters Suburban Legends finally made their triumphant return to King Tut’s.

Known for their legendary, hyper-choreographed residency sets at Disney Resorts, the band sat down with us ahead of the show to talk about fulfilling a promise to their Scottish fans, dodging rogue trombone slides on tiny basement stages, and the difference between creating brand-new tunes versus reimagining beloved classics. We also see if they remember dodging a low-hanging air duct at Broadcast eleven years ago—and surprise them with a very specific, inflation-adjusted culinary throwback.

Our Sunshine Weezy caught up with Geoff from Call Me Amour for an honest and energising chat ahead of a massive summer for the band. With appearances lined up at Slam Dunk and 2000 Trees, Geoff gave us the inside scoop on what fans can expect, the buzz of festival season, and how the band are preparing to bring their high-energy sound to some of the UK’s biggest stages.

Beyond the music, we also dive into something far more personal. Geoff opens up about the importance of mental health, and shares details of an incredible challenge he, Harry, and others are taking on — a 37-mile trek across the iconic Isle of Man TT course — all in support of the Uprawr Mental Health Foundation. It’s a powerful reminder of how the music community continues to come together for a vital cause. Expect laughs, honesty, and plenty of festival hype in this one.

Our very own Sunshine Weezy recently sat down for a cracking chat with Ivan, the creative force behind Opensight, to talk about their upcoming album, The Outfit. Due for release on 15th May, the record is a brilliant, genre-bending mix of heavy metal and cinematic soundscapes. Ivan shared how the band’s love for everything from Ennio Morricone’s Spaghetti Western scores to vintage Yakuza films and 70s crime thrillers found its way into their music.

Far from being a "lockdown project," this new material showcases the chemistry of a band that’s spent serious time honing their craft on the road. We dive into the stories behind the singles "In Plain Sight" and "Defying Eye," their experiences winning over crowds at festivals in Spain and Germany, and why keeping a sense of "playful abandon" is the secret to their unique sound. We even managed to find out which chocolate bar best represents the band – spoiler: it’s dark, but still fun.

We caught up with the "voice of a generation," Dan Byrne, ahead of his sold-out show at Glasgow's Attic to discuss his transition from frontman to a "fiercely independent" solo artist. Following a successful stint with Revival Black, Byrne has signed with Frontiers Records to release his debut full-length album, a project that blends the "old-school blues" of David Coverdale and Paul Rodgers with a modern rock edge.

In this candid interview, Byrne opens up about the "crushing pressure" of his first solo record, the emotional intelligence required to survive the music industry, and his unique songwriting process - which often involves a ruthless deadline and a "clear head".

From his early days listening to Whitesnake to selling out venues across the UK, Byrne’s journey is one of "power and vulnerability," anchored by his advice to fans to always trust their own "superpower".

Wheezy recently caught up with Laura (vocals) and Scott (guitar) from Glasgow’s own Lo Rays following a massive career milestone - their biggest headline show to date at the iconic King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. The duo discussed the release of their high-concept new EP, Rebirth Sequence, which sees the band leaning into a grittier, metalcore-influenced sound while retaining their signature synth-heavy hyper-pop textures. Recorded with producer George Perks, the EP explores themes of self-discovery and agency within a post-apocalyptic fictional universe.

Check out the full interview to hear about their collaborative creative process, the "theatrical" energy of their live shows, and why you should never be afraid to let out your inner freak.

Wheezy recently sat down with Daniel (vocals/media) and Tom (guitar/production) from the rising "super team" Brightshade for their first-ever interview. Formed just over a year ago, the band has spent the last nine months meticulously "cooking" their sound - fusing nu-metal and metalcore roots with cinematic influences from video games and film soundtracks. The duo discussed the origins of their name, their eclectic musical tastes, and the creative process behind their debut single, "Lost and Haunted," which officially drops today.

Check out the full conversation to hear about their "haunting" approach to mental health themes, Daniel’s love for the Muppets, and why it's perfectly okay to just "be yourself".

A few years ago, Ross was lucky enough to speak to the affable and loquacious Jamie Hall of Tigercub about their then-upcoming album, The Perfume of Decay. Now, they're back with their fourth album, Nets to Catch the Wind, which gave me a chance to check in with him and talk about it, recording at Rockfield, working with Stone Gossard, his creativity and a whole lot more.

With the main stint of their co-headline tour starting next week, the two frontmen engaged in much banter! We talked about their favourite venues, pairing as dual headline acts, each other's favourite songs - and a lengthy and heartfelt segue into mental health. What triggered this was a reminder that Blue Nation have a charity bucket at all of their gigs and they are currently fundraising for Ian's Chain. This very small charity provides support for those at a mental breaking point, offering a listening ear and guidance. Please check them out and support them with a donation at one of the gigs.

Wendy James is a legend, first bursting onto the scene in the 80s with chart-toppers Transvision Vamp. After a scant three albums, she quit that act to go solo and has released another seven solo records. Prior to her recent solo tour we got the chance to talk to her about old times and new, just as two Transvision Vamp tours were announced for Spain and New Zealand!

Riz has a long history in the music business, and is now independently releasing music he has designed to be for himself. With themes (but not music, that's all him) co-written with an AI, "Echoes of Man" is his third double-LP in the last couple of years. We also talk about his passion of diving, and awareness of coral reef erosion. What a chat!
