A good thing going
Jamie T has spent nearly two decades trying to balance an obsessive need to write songs with a fairly strong desire not to be famous. After almost walking away altogether, 'Ghosts (100 Days of Morning)' finds him working out how to have both.

Jeshi's got a headrush, and everyone's invited
From dodgy Essex clubs to the electronic sounds of his teenage years, Jeshi is revisiting his nightlife memories on new mixtape ‘Headrush’.

Banoffee is putting her rage somewhere useful
Melbourne-born, LA-based producer Banoffee spent a terrible year hitting a heavy bag, then road-tested the songs it left her with on her own dancefloor. The 'Muscles' EP is the result, and she'd like it known that she is not, technically, a boxer.

Lost duets, a possible Charli xcx cover and an abandoned frog idea: Ellie has been answering the internet’s questions, with very little patience for guitar snobbery.

Gatekeeping begone! Let the bands go massive
Brixton is booked. Westside Cowboy deserve an audience well beyond the people who found them first - and Yard Act, Fontaines D.C. and Wolf Alice have already shown how much there is to gain.

In his feelings
The November issue.
Four covers, a frankly ridiculous amount of new music and some very big feelings. Dork's November 2026 issue is here, with Nieve Ella, Jamie T, Rachel Chinouriri and Remi Wolf each getting their own cover, and plenty to talk about.

‘How To Be A Human Being’
DRK0001 (yes, they have catalogue numbers) is a 196-page celebration (it's a book, basically, not a 'zine) on big, heavy stock and with full-page bold imagery. Inside are Dork's original interviews with the band from the era, published between August 2016 and January 2018 and collected here for the first time. There's photography, words, artwork, and all sorts of other lovely visual treats, plus more stories from the people who were actually there running through the whole thing.
'How To Be A Human Being' was released on 26th August 2016. Ten years on, it's the record that turned a band from an Oxford garden shed into one of the most enormous groups Britain has produced this century. An album stitched together from voice memos, strangers' stories, and eleven characters who each arrived carrying something broken, it took them to the cover of Dork's second-ever issue, and some less important things too.

Reviews.

Staking their claim to be the best band of their generation.

'Sugar Rush' captures a young band at precisely the point where enthusiasm, confidence and a lot of gigging have started feeding into each other. It's messy, urgent and ridiculously alive.
Words: Harry Shaw
‘PREMATURE NOSTALGIA’ throws a lot at you, and nearly all of it works. Green has made grief, longing and overthinking tremendous fun. It's easily one of the month's best.
Words: Felicity Newton
Love is unexpectedly sympathetic over the dark synths of 'Call It What You Want', and he's an engaging presence when he eases off.
Words: Dan Harrison
Closer 'I Wish' is, as is tradition on her albums, a lullaby to her younger self, on which she reflects on pulling through a hard time alone.
Words: Minty Slater Mearns
And, well, that's basically it.
Words: Harry Shaw
Very good work. Gold star. Well done, SOFY.

Nieve Ella’s got 99 problems and a debut album
Nieve Ella went from posting covers in her bedroom to touring with some of Britain's biggest guitar bands. Now she's releasing debut album 'How Long Will It Take?', a dramatic departure inspired by Wolf Alice, Prince and vampire movies, and she's got a few uncomfortable truths to share.
FeaturesMud, sweat and Remi Wolf
Remi Wolf has always done things at full volume. For her third album 'Mud', she's discovered a different kind of freedom, swapping some of her maximalism for a rawer sound that feels every bit as unmistakably her.
