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.

Inside Sheffield's Crookes Social Club, Malevolence's Alex, Charlie and Wilkie talk us through being a band since they were teenagers, going hard at touring before they made any money - making it happen out of pure passion and belief, looking up to While She Sleeps and Bring Me The Horizon before playing together and becoming friends, and living out their teenage dreams.

Matt Berninger's excellent second solo album Get Sunk follows a slow exit from a serious depression where he couldn't get out of bed. Written on baseballs, deconstructed bedposts and anything else he could write lyrics on, the National singer writes songs like he's painting a picture. Once a graphic designer during the dot-com bubble in New York, he was going to formative gigs by The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio and The Walkmen. We hear about the profound influence Guided by Voices and Pavement had on his style, and how he has good ideas 51% of the time. Get Sunk is out now. Filmed at The Social, London.

Working Men's Club's Sydney Minsky Sargeant puts out his debut album Lunga this Friday. The album was written around the track 'Lisboa', which while written years ago carries so much weight for Syd that he needed to eventually get it out his system. The whole album is ace, and is from a more mellow direction than the harshness of WMC. Here we hear about the importance of accessible music in Britain, small town gentrification and the strong foundations of working at a cafe.

Famed for starting a Doors covers band to supplement income performing their own music, Field Music's David Brewis says it shouldn't come as a surprise. Despite sharing rehearsal spaces with 2000's mainstream indie bands The Futureheads and Maximo Park, the Brewis brothers had no interest in pleasing anyone else; only making music for themselves. Coming up to 20 years since their debut album, the Sunderland trio have nearly always done everything in-house, from self producing albums to driving themselves on tour. David has put his high level maths ability to good use on tour balance sheets while his brother Peter took what he learned working at youth centres to task in their band life. They play in London, Leeds and Sunderland to celebrate their anniversary in November, find more info and tickets at https://field-music.co.uk/ Get yourself some top class Shure microphone gear: https://shu.re/3YhV7p2 DistroKid makes music distribution fun and easy with unlimited uploads and artists keeping the ENTIRETY of their revenue.

If you end up coming back to listen to this, you'll hear about his time working at the influential Drag City Records, a laundry list of odd jobs, not insuring Galaxie 500's broken gear and the 17 years of running his own label, Sophomore Lounge.

Tyler Ballgame is a modern savant. On his four released tracks, there's a sweeping melancholy underpinned by the haunting beauty of Roy Orbison or wry-smiled dreamy Harry Nilsson. In this chat, Tyler talks of Shakespeare inspiration, studying songwriting Berkeley but never successfully shaking the idea that he was an outsider, and blagging a job interview that transplanted him on the other side of the country - where he started his new life, and now, career.

If you're not sure what to make of gothic Midsommar clad The New Eves, keep listening. There's the poetic thud of The Velvet Underground and autodidactic brilliance of The Slights, but it's the wide-eyed willingness that makes their first release and debut album The New Eves is rising that makes this Brighton band something very very special. Sat on the seafront, we heard about how imaginative living situations and a myriad of side hustles is key to their existence, and how they might well be haunted by a scarab beetle emerged from Tutankhamun's tomb.
