It seems like it was only yesterday when The Last Dinner Party played at London’s MOTH Club for us, even before they had released any music. Now, three years later, the quintet boasts two BRIT Awards, a Number One hit, and another exciting album on the horizon. We are eagerly anticipating what’s next and are excited to have the band featured again on DIY’s October 2025 cover for their second round; this time, celebrating their remarkable new album ‘From The Pyre’. “We aimed to push ourselves and each other beyond our set roles from the first album and experiment with new ideas on our instruments while being more collaborative,” shared bassist Georgia Davies, reflecting on TLDP’s creative approach to recording. “It was about challenging ourselves and each other because we aspire to achieve something even greater, not just to prove anything to anyone else.” This month, we also delve into community and creativity with Kojey Radical following the release of his latest LP ‘Don’t Look Down’; explore girls' bathroom etiquette with Ashnikko in honor of her second album ‘Smoochies’; and explore the intriguing world of Luvcat as she prepares for her debut full-length. Additionally, we discover Jay Som’s new phase filled with collaboration; revisit Militarie Gun to discuss the insights and lessons that shaped their sophomore project; and go In Deep to assess if breakout rock band Geese are truly deserving of the hype (spoiler: they absolutely are). In the Neu section, which serves as your essential guide to new music, we introduce LA’s energetic Rocket, celebrate cultural unity with Falkirk’s five-member Brògeal, and explain why Chiedu Oraka can count Chris Martin as a fan. Furthermore, we provide the DIY insights on the biggest musical topics of Autumn (Oasis, Taylor - we’re looking at you) and head North to Newcastle for the 2025 Mercury Prize. Next up, the Toon!
