It’s 1 June 2025, which in the cult calendar of The 1975 is practically a national holiday – and so it should be no shock to anyone paying attention that the band seemingly are starting to spark into new activity, ahead of their Glastonbury headline set later this month. Yesterday (May 31), the band deleted every post from their Instagram grid, sparking speculation that something new might be teased today.
Sports Team - Boys These Days

Label: Distiller Records / Bright AntennaReleased: 23rd May 2025Sports Team have always thrived in the chaos, but with ‘Boys These Days’, they finally weaponise it. Still feral, still funny, still skewering the modern condition like they’re comment-section Socrates, the band’s third album takes their well-worn hallmarks – British absurdism, tongue-in-cheek snark, festival-ready hooks – and supercharges them into something bolder, weirder and way more self-aware.

1 month ago | readdork.com | Dan Harrison

For Those I Love has shared a new single ‘Of The Sorrows’, marking their first release since their 2021 self-titled debut album. The project, helmed by Dublin artist David Balfe, explores themes of urban displacement and personal reflection in the new track. “When I wrote ‘Of The Sorrows’, it felt like I was bargaining with myself. It was one of the first songs I’d written to myself, for myself, while still trying to embody the feelings and thoughts of my closest peers,” Balfe says.

Brockwell Park vs. the festivals: What happened, and what’s next for Wide Awake, Mighty Hoopla, Field Day and more?

For a moment, it looked like some of South London’s most beloved summer festivals might not happen. Last week, a High Court ruling against Lambeth Council’s plans for Brockwell Park sent shockwaves through organisers and fans. The court sided with a local campaign group that argued the council had bent the rules to host a series of big music events in the park.
Chloe Qisha - Modern Romance EP

1 month ago | readdork.com | Dan Harrison

Label: VLF Records / Are You Serious? RecordsReleased: 15th May 2025Dancing through the darkness of modern life with a disco ball in one hand and a therapy notebook in the other, Chloe Qisha’s ‘Modern Romance’ EP is what you’d get if ABBA got wine-drunk in a group chat with Pulp about dating apps and climate anxiety. It’s self-aware, sparkly, a little bit sad — and completely brilliant. ’21st Century Cool Girl’ doesn’t so much enter as it does strut in wearing platform boots and a knowing smirk.
spill tab - Angie

1 month ago | readdork.com | Dan Harrison

Label: Because MusicReleased: 16th May 2025spill tab has always felt like a bit of a shapeshifter – whispering soft truths one minute, blowing the walls off the next – but on ‘Angie’, she turns that unpredictability into a full-blown world. This isn’t just a debut album; it’s a daydream in motion: heartbreak and feral joy, weird textures, scrappy edges and a perfectly imperfect tangle of emotion. There’s chaos here, but it’s considered. There’s vulnerability, but it never begs.
