From Uncut's February 2013 issue (Take 189), the incredible Pete Seeger on Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and the enduring power of protest songs. Interview: Neil Spencer
Fleetwood Mac have said that they will be recording a brand new album with former member Christine McVie, who it was recently revealed is set to rejoin the band.
The new issue of Uncut arrives in UK shops this Friday – though subscribers should hopefully find their copies plonking through the letter box a day or two early. We celebrate 40 years of the Ramones with an extensive cover story by Peter Watts, who’s interviewed surviving band members as well as many of their co-conspirators, friends and peers. To compliment Peter’s terrific piece, we’ve compiled a list of the 50 Greatest American Punk Albums (plus singles and compilations), from the pivotal years of 1975 to 1983.
His many fans will no doubt wonder at the absence of anything by Wayne County from the list of Top 50 American punk albums we've compiled as part of this month's cover story on the Ramones. After all, Wayne – who by 1980 was Jayne County, following the necessary surgery – was with his band Queen Elizabeth part of the same Max's Kansas City, Mercer Arts Center and Club 82 scene that nurtured the early New York Dolls.
Arctic Monkeys have announced a new single, "Arabella".
The track is taken from their latest album, AM, and will be released on March 10, 2014.
The band have also announced details of a new outdoor live show, at Marlay Park, Dublin, Ireland on Saturday July 12, 2014.
They have sold out two shows at London's Finsbury Park on May 23 and 24.
