Volume 7 of Kinda Weird Mag is out on Friday and this is our most deliciously curated offering yet. Los Bitchos become our first ever real life cover girlies for a very limited run of 50 copies - snap them up quick to avoid disappointment! Weaving through this issue are chapters inspired and dedicated to the festivals we had the pleasure of attending this summer. Alongside big lovely chats with outta this world musicians (the majority of which we’re yet to announce). And, as always, some of the most incredible featured artists and writers throughout. This one is most special and precious to us and we’re so excited to get it out in the world.

All will be revealed but if you want a sneak peek, you know what to do.

“We just got to this point where we sat down last year and said “should we just do whatever the fuck we want? And just have fun with it? And actually really enjoy ourselves on stage and not get nervous about whether people are gonna like it?” So... We just did that!” YUKE x Volume 7. Coming soon 👀

The big red, hand-embellished, boiler suited legends you see before you are our next full feature interview of Volume 7. We had booked @yuke.band for our latest humble offering of a show at The Salisbury Hotel before we watched them open the main stage at Truck festival this summer and they are just the bees knees. Not only are they the nicest breath of fresh air to chat to and hang with, but their music is top notch too. The best kind of people, we simply can’t wait to see what they do next.

Truck x Kinda Weird Mag Vol 7. That’s a wrap.

Kinda Weird Mag x Truck. As you can probably tell, we had such a wicked time this summer at the wonderful field fiesta that is a weekend at @truckfestival. Endless fun illustrated with cider mixers, ferris wheels, yorkie puds, sharpie tats and sprints between stages. The team were delighted to be invited, we had one of the best weekends all together, we met so many beautiful souls and enjoyed top notch music from start to finish. Enjoy this merry-go-round of photos from our resident photographer, Alfie Bungay, of some of our absolute highlights.

Coach Party x Kinda Weird Mag x Truck. It is always such a delight to meet fresh lovely folk at a shindig such as this one and @wearecoachparty blew us away. Isle of Wight’s very own live wires are the band that just keep on giving, they played a mammoth set on the main stage and it’s safe to say that is where they belong. Followed up by such fun in the form of a DJ set and the Kinda Weird teams first introduction to the dance moves required for H-O-T-T-O-G-O (should we admit that?) we couldn’t have asked for more. More to come 👀 @truckfestival 2024 we loved every second.

“I love being in a band. You get to share the highlights, you also have people around you when you go through the hardest times - you get to go through them together. It’s that feeling of being a part of something, being part of a band.” Los Bitchos x Volume 7.

📹: @alfie_bungay

Boy! Have we been itching to announce this one. Our second full feature interview for Volume 7 took place with the mighty @losbitchos, who have captured our hearts and will do so for years to come. This interview was one of firsts for us, the first studio shoot in the history of KWM and the first LIMITED EDITION COVER SHOOT ever. Only 50 of the Los Bitchos covered V7’s will ever exist so make sure you’re on your toes when we announce the pre-orders. What a delightful group of legends they are! Go get your ears around their latest album Talkie Talkie, or do one better and go catch it live. They’re currently on tour with our other all time faves @isthisfauxreal and most likely coming to a city near you. An honour and a pleasure.

Black Honey x Kinda Weird Mag x Truck. We spend a lot of time revelling over the amazing artists we have the pleasure of meeting’s pinch-me moments and rightly so - but it’s safe to say this has been one of ours. The insanely talented @blackhoneyuk were everything we hoped for and more, we were so stoked to spend time with them. During this years Truck performance Izzy (who was wearing the most iconic outfit we’ve seen in a long while) heckled “TRUCK CROWDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FERAL! IS THAT ALL YOU’VE GOT?” And the audience understood the assignment as the landscape descended into a chaos fit for a spaghetti western. @truckfestival 2024 we loved every second.

Lime Garden x Kinda Weird Mag x Truck. It’s safe to say the mighty @limegardenband is one of our all time favourite bands as a team and their debut album was everything we had been waiting for, so when the opportunity arose to speak to them - we had to take it. Though their Truck journey was turbulent this year (with some tearjerking clashes), they killed it as only they know how. This band is INCREDIBLE all round and we hope to catch them at every opportunity we get. @truckfestival 2024 we loved every second.

The Menstrual Cramps x Kinda Weird Mag x Truck. What a delight to finally see AND meet @themenstrualcramps not once, but twice this summer. We’ve been following the growth of this Bristol-based bunch of ruckus-lovers for years and it’s a sin that we haven’t managed to catch them until now. Not only are they a wicked political punk powerhouse in their own right but their activism earlier this summer is something to be commended and something we couldn’t resist but ask about. If you hadn’t heard about these legends already - here’s the band who began @bandsboycottbarclays putting it plainly in their own words. More to come 👀 @truckfestival 2024 we loved every second.

Mandrake Handshake x Kinda Weird Mag x Truck. How the Truck was this over a month ago? At long last we’re rolling out the interviews we had at the festival! Starting with the show-stopping @mandrakehandshake, who not only were a delight to meet but absolutely blew the roof off the V&V stage later that evening. We’d been wanting to catch Mandrake Handshake for longer than we’d like to admit so this was a massive highlight of the weekend for us! More to come 👀 @truckfestival 2024 we loved every second.

“We giggle a lot on stage, there’s tonnes of jokes that don’t land but some do… I feel like you can expect a show that is reflective of playing with your best friends.” smol fish x Volume 7.

📹: @alfie_bungay

We are buzzing to FINALLY announce our first interview feature of Volume 7 took place with these beauties from down under. Meet the delightful @smolfishband from Perth who took time out of their mega euro tour to chat with Kinda Weird. Missing their studious queen Josie (on keys) they still managed to blow us away, weaving together soft and heavy in a way that can only reflect what happens when you play with your best friends. We talked about musical loves, pretty decorations, the importance of stopping for a moment and taking everything in and so much more. Smol fish, big pond. So chuffed to have met you! 🐠✨

snake eyes x Kinda Weird Mag x 2000trees. Never have I ever been handed the most life saver of a drink than a Bloody Mary at a festival following an interview. What a bunch of legends this final bunch of trees are! We’ve caught them at @leftofthedialrotterdam , Alt Escape, 2000trees and Truck this year and we feel so lucky. 40 minute party and they bring it every single time. Truck coverage stay tuned. @2000trees_festival 2024 we loved every second.

CLT DRP x Kinda Weird Mag x 2000trees. When our friends are in town, we’ve simply gotta catch up! It’s never more of a pleasure than with the lovely bunch that make up @cltdrp and what a killer set they had for us. Make sure you catch these angels any opportunity you get. @2000trees_festival 2024 we loved every second.

📹: @alfie_bungay

Marshall x Kinda Weird Mag x 2000trees. Our next chat took place with the awesome Nick Street, the Marketing pro from the @marshallamps crew. @marshallrecords do an awesome amount of stuff for the grassroots upwards and they, like us, have a deep love of music all across the board. Here’s a little bit about what Marshall’s wicked team were up to during the fest! A pleasure to meet them all and big thanks to Nick for taking the time for this chat. @2000trees_festival 2024 we loved every second.

📹: @alfie_bungay

King Nun x Kinda Weird Mag x 2000trees. We have some of London’s own for you! Having seen the mighty @king_nun only this one time, we’ve gotta tell you we were blown away. Big up to this lot for climbing the tower, bringing the energy and doing more guitar jumps in one set than we’ve ever seen. @2000trees_festival 2024 we loved every second.

📹: @alfie_bungay

Enola Gay x Kinda Weird Mag x 2000trees. Our next chat took place with the mighty @enolagay_band an absolutely show-stopping bunch of legends from Belfast. Our first time seeing them was when they supported none other than @jeremycorbyn & @lambrinigirlz at a Music for a Ceasefire show and we have been all in ever since. Do not miss a chance to see them! Ever! Also, some wicked recommendations from the chaps here containing some of our favourites - so check them out too. @2000trees_festival 2024 we loved every second.

📹: @alfie_bungay

Gallus x Kinda Weird Mag x 2000trees. We have some more Glaswegian angels for you! Having seen the mighty @gallusareaband in Brighton some weeks before, we knew we had to share them with the rest of the crew. Mega thanks to @slixuk and @deadponyband for the recommendations - if you get the chance go see Gallus, you won’t regret it. @2000trees_festival 2024 we loved every second.

📹: @alfie_bungay

Dead Pony x Kinda Weird Mag x 2000trees. The first band of the weekend we not only saw kick off the main stage but also the first we had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting to were the lovely angels from Glasgow that make up @deadponyband and what a show they put on. @2000trees_festival 2024 we loved every second.
