The latest issue of Clash magazine is out today with cover star Dizzee Rascal, “The saviour of British pop!”.
While Britain continues to be crushed by drab news of finances and the onset of winter is creeping hastily upon us, thank fuck we’ve got Dizzee Rascal to pick us up, shake off the cobwebs and slap a smile on our faces. With the wit and acumen that surpasses most young chart toppers, this issue’s cover star is blazing with confidence, and as his new album, ‘Tongue N’ Cheek’ dominates pods up and down the country, he finds himself leaping firmly into the nation’s hearts as a genuine success story.
U2 swung into town the other month and Clash was side of stage, getting up close and personal with our camera. Check out our On The Road special with Bono and the boys and see what they got up to.
There’s music a-plenty in this mag – Kraftwerk are held aloft and scrutinized, The Flaming Lips open the doors of perception, Editors invite us into their studio, and we conduct a VERY weird conversation with Devendra Banhart. All that plus Fuck Buttons, Peter Hook, Richard Hawley, Muse, The Raveonettes and, er… Slayer.
