Fiddlehead break down the eclectic influences behind their great new album ‘Death Is Nothing To Us.’

Lync, the short-lived post-hardcore band fronted by the late Sam Jayne (later of Love As Laughter) whose rhythm section also formerly played in Built To Spill, are giving an expanded, remastered reissue to ‘These Are Not Fall Colors.’

Including Pixies, Modest Mouse & Cat Power; Beck, Phoenix & Weyes Blood; Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa; Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival; Queens of the Stone Age; Tegan and Sara; The Smashing Pumpkins, Sunny Day Real Estate; and more.

Lol Tolhurst x Budgie x Jacknife Lee’s debut album also features Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), The Edge (U2), Mark Bowen (IDLES), Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse), Mary Lattimore, Lonnie Holley and more.

“Marr‘s Guitars is very different to other guitar books and is more of an art book, with stories of songs and sounds,“ says Johnny. “It’s been a long time coming and a labour of love.”

The Arkansas music and art festival also features Jamie xx, Little Simz, Digable Planets, The Pharcyde, Channel Tres, Sudan Archives, and more.
