Emily Haines (Metric) - NYC, Coat Hanger Nightmares and Living a Cool Life

I first saw Home Front supporting High Vis at Islington Assembly Hall, one of the rare shows that felt like a real moment suspended in time. I fell in love with their new wave / oi! inspired weirdo punk rock, and their new album Watch It Die (out 14 November) sounds like it's gonna be ace. Here's singer Graeme on being 42 in a punk band, punk houses, sleeping on the job and influential Canadian bands D.O.A. and Fucked Up.

The Charlatans are about to release their fourteenth album We Are Love, a gladly psychedelic swish featuring perhaps my favourite Charlatans track ‘For The Girls’ - dedicated to band members’ families. Tim remembers the moment of running into Bez and Shaun Ryder of The Happy Mondays as he was checking into the hotel to detox, his favourite moments of the longer new Charalatans live shows, and how recording We Are Love at Rockfield was an embrace to his late bandmate Rob Collins. We Are Love is out 31 October. Thanks to Fender.

As teenagers wide-eyed to the world of Fat White Family and the notorious Queen's Head in Brixton, Charlie Steen and Shame did the honourable thing: dive heard first into everything. Still friends and still excited about making albums and touring, Charlie tells us about moving through south London in his twenties, living in the wahsing room and grifting at the Nepalese. Shame's excellent fourth album Cuthroat is out now. See Charlie's art at steenhub.com. Thanks to Elephant's Head, Camden.
