With a monthly print magazine (and website, obv), hosting gigs, tours and festival stages nationwide, who better than to take you…

At the Spanish festival giant with Shame, Metronomy and BODEGA.
It's up to Hull for 53 Degrees North with Slaves, Dream Wife, The Horrors, LIFE and more.
A series in which the bands are allowed to talk about anything at all... except their music.
We're down on the pier once again, with interviews from across The Great Escape, including Demob Happy, Yonaka, Hatchie and Drahla.
As festival season kicks off, we're at two of the first, with chats with Pale Waves, Peace, King Nun, Anteros, Whenyoung and Matt Maltese.
Chats from during SXSW in Austin, Texas, with LIFE, Public Access TV, Shame and more - plus a human panda. Because obviously.
There's just one rule with this series: artists can talk about anything at all - except their music.
The band's Alex Luciano spills on her celebrity gossip obsession, from Kardashians to being introduced to the stars of TOWIE.
On the famous German strip with Black Honey, Pixx, LIFE and Matt Maltese.

Recorded live from the DIY office, London, England, on the day our new mag came back from the printers, and it’s been quite the month! In this episode the DIY team talk through all the musical goings on in and out of the August '17 issue of our magazine. AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH we have interviews with Kasabian at TRNSMT in Glasgow, only bloody Nate from Foo Fighters in Madrid, Lucy Rose gives us an exclusive audio diary from her latest tour of India and oh yeah, we've been pretty busy, busy thinking 'bout boys.... ba ding!

Anything But… with Sadie Dupuis! Sadie Dupuis is a busy bee. Along with fronting the ever-ace Speedy Ortiz, she’s also at the helm of the banger-central pop colo project Sad13, and has been touring all over the place with both bands. But anyway, enough about that - on Anything But… music is a BANNED topic. Instead, Sadie met up with DIY’s El Hunt in Brighton to discuss horoscopes, vegan food, and which solid British traditions ‘Get A Yes’ from her. Listen, enjoy, share and star rate DIY Podcasts on iTunes if you feel like being ace! #newmusic #thegreatescape #sad13 #diymagzine
Glastonbury! Our team - the trusty Will, El and Emma - are still going strong and, shockingly, still have voices, which is handy really because on the final day of this year's festival we have another report from the ground, as well as chats with Frank Carter, minus his Rattlesnakes, but sporting an excellent new 'do. Metronomy also tell Will why they may just not turn up to headline their stage, plus we have a SUPER-interview with not just Marika Hackman but also Blaenavon - who are saying plenty of things that may make their management squirm! It's been a long weekend... Enjoy! #glastonbury #music #feativals #frankcarter #metronomy #marikahackman #blaenavon #uk

In our new audio series 'Anything but...' El Hunt, the boss of bizarre lines of enquiry and DIY magazine's features editor, really gets to know some of her favourite acts, by not uttering a word about the music (well until she gets distracted and forgets, feel free to tweet us if you feel aggrieved about that) and records it for your pleasure. In this episode El is joined by Stephen and Audun of two piece Liverpool jangly-indie pop sensations Her's (or 'international supersonic spectral wave band', as they define themselves). The plan is not to talk about music and they do get close, but manage to divert to chats about dream farms, Travelodge groundhog days, Norway day spent in a van and some home improvement success stories. Get to know Her's in a totally different way, enjoy. Her's debut LP 'Songs of Her's' is out now!

Returning to the venue that they played their first ever London show in, Liverpool's Circa Waves have come a long way in that time. Worldwide tours, main stages of festivals and with the release of their second record this year, they were invited back by DIY Magazine to celebrate that and their recent cover for the mag, to one of London's most intimate shows, on one damn muggy night, so we caught up with lead singer Kieran on the day, and some buzzing (if a little sweat drenched) fans after the show.

Welcome to the first Get In The Van podcast a brand new series from DIY Magazine's podcast network, HI! PARTYBABY from California, U S of A shot to attention in 2016 with their debut record 'The Golden Age of Bullshit' but this wasn't exactly their first rodeo. Having toured in other acts (Portugal. The Man) or as an engineer (30 Seconds to Mars), this have been touring hard in their current incarnation for the last year. This episode jumps back to late 2016 when they came over to the UK for a fairly gruelling run of shows first of all supporting the awesome VANT and then some headline shows of their own. So here they are recorded from hotels to dressing rooms around the country, in their own words, telling it like it is, from Trump to fistfights, jobsworth hoteliers to sold out shows, here's PARTYBABY's Get In The Van podcast. Special thanks to Andrew from the bands crew who took on the challenge of documenting the changing fortunes throughout the tour for us. #partybaby #livemusic #touring #vans #vant #DIYmagazine #music #california #tourlife
