Cain Culto is the kind of artist who makes contradictions feel holy. He lives at the intersection of pop spectacle, queer mysticism, and religious iconography with the volume turned all the way up. A classically trained fiddle player who studied marketing and biblical studies at seminary, Culto flips faith, folklore, and raw sexuality into something […]

After years of relentless touring with artists like Andy Bell, fronting the legendary German synth-pop band Boytronic, navigating personal loss, and undergoing creative recalibration, James Knights returns with Supernatural Lover, the bold new release from his dark-electro alter ego KN/GHTS. Where his debut leaned into pure, carefree energy, this record pushes into deeper emotional territory […]

Spain really came through with some stellar musical releases in 2025. There was the majestic glory of Rosalía’s Lux, the smooth’n’sexy Spanish Leather from Guitarricadelafuente, the adroable Aragonese sophisti-pop of Juanjo Bona’s Recardelino and then there was SVSTO who spent the entire year serving ‘coño’. Loverboy first clocked the Catalan diva in her video for […]

Norwegian singer/songwriter Anna of the North had an unexpected viral moment on Tik Tok at the start of last year with a song that came out in 2017. But rather than try to recreate that same formula she stayed true to herself, telling Loverboy, ‘It’s a great song, but you can’t force that.’ Instead she […]

This winter, while the rest of the world is clutching its pearls over yet another live-action remake, chaos curator and Drag Race darling Kate Butch is sharpening her wit (and her hunting knife) for Tuckshop’s fifth annual all-drag spectacular, Snow White. Starring alongside Kate will be Drag Race royalty, Kyran Thrax, Kitty Scott-Claus and Tayris […]

I’ve known Rory Davis since 2002, when he danced in my company and lugged a bust of Caesar cross-country. Since then, he’s become a true San Francisco icon, co-creating the all-male burlesque sensation Baloney at the now-closing Oasis nightclub. He’s worked with everyone from Jennifer Tilly to Bob the Drag Queen. As Baloney takes its […]

We are greeted with a snarl of ‘Hello Loverboy!’ and the most villainous cackle of a laugh. We can be speaking with only one person. Fresh from her incredible year on Broadway, it’s Queen of all Queens Jinkx Monsoon. Seconds later we are joined on our Zoom call by the only queen, along with Jinkx, […]

London-based DJ/Producer System Olympia has been consistently releasing some of the steamiest music around. Last year’s Sanctified EP was 17 minutes & 6 seconds of blissed out seduction. Today she releases Love Language, a twenty-track compilation featuring carefully curated artists to create a mix that transforms listening into a multi-sensory act. Some Loverboy favourites are […]

There’s something elusive and slow-burning about the just released Warsaw 480km, the debut LP from PÔT-POT. It’s rooted in grief, dislocation, drone, and a punk-adjacent sonic palette—but never feels too on-the-nose. The textures bloom gradually: harmonium, tremolo, foggy vocals. Even the title comes from a sign seen while carrying a father’s ashes. It’s music that […]
