There are artists who push boundaries—and then there’s CHRISTEENE, who obliterates them in a cloud of glitter, sweat, and divine filth. Eight years after first erupting onto the Soho Theatre stage like a feral queer comet—with a beer stolen, spat, and a balloon wedged where the sun don’t shine—CHRISTEENE returns this June with a vengeance […]
Ahead of the release of his third album Cabin Fever, Tom Aspaul invited us into the surreal, emotional, and often psychedelic journey that inspired it.

What began as a Midsommar getaway spiraled into an unfiltered confrontation with grief, identity, and […]
Loverboy sat down with electronic artist and producer Brian Suarez to reflect on everything from his early days in New York’s DIY music scene and scoring an Electroclash hit with “Taboo” to his current songwriting and DJ successes as Allies for Everyone.

Nearly two years after sashaying onto the Strip, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 2 is on our screens once more in the second season […]
When Bria Salmena tells Loverboy, ‘I just love singing’, she’s not lying. She’s prolific. From fronting Canadian indie rock band Frigs, to touring in Orville Peck’s live band, releasing her own Cuntry Covers EPs and then finding time for her electronic alias God’s Mom, Bria brings that vocal versatility to every project she’s part of.

After six years in a self-confessed ‘musical wilderness’, singer/songwriter/producer Shura is preparing for the release of her third album, I Got Too Sad For My Friends, out 30th May.
