“The prognosis was I’d have two years of playing left in me before the batteries in my hands ran out”: A degenerative nerve condition forced blues fingerstylist Amit Dattani to hang up his acoustic. Then a custom electric guitar saved his playing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On his second album, Wrong Kind of One, Birmingham, UK-based folk singer-songwriter Amit Dattani is taking listeners deep inside the heart of Americana. Songs such as Steady The Boat, Gathering Acorns and One Too Many Mornings are brimming with a sense of soul-baring honesty, almost like a musical confession, one where the guitar tones are every bit as exquisite as the voice accompanying them. Though he grew up listening to blues masters such as Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy, it was the fingerstyle
“Crazy things happen when we play this song. Someone was crowdsurfing and threw out their prosthetic leg for me to sign”: How Drowning Pool made Bodies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Drowning Pool’s juggernaut single Bodies was released on May 14, 2001. The debut single from the Texan metal mob quickly made its presence known to hard rock fans around the world, and changed the lives of the four musicians who recorded it. Their signature brand of nu-metal placed equal emphasis on heavy groove and melody. For guitarist C.J. Pierce, who wrote the iconic riff, it was a case of combining the Mardi Gras music that soundtracked his childhood with the distortion and intensity he fel
“The most common mistake is thinking it’s an out-of-tune guitar”: What people get wrong about microtonal music (opens the original)

By now you’ll have seen endless clips of the Angine De Poitrine live set recorded by KEXP, which went viral after in February. You might even have read my exclusive interview with guitarist/bassist Khn – the very first conversation dissecting the enigmatic musician’s background and his approach to tone and effects. Given their meteoric rise over 2026, cementing their name as the music industry’s biggest and most unexpected success story, it would be all too easy to dismiss their microtonal math
“We’ve never been a Strat band or a Marshall band. It feels a little too on-the-nose for what a rock sound should be”: Troy Van Leeuwen on turning his Custom Shop 12-string into a Squier signature, and channeling Robert Fripp for the new QOTSA record (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since its launch back in 2020, Fender have described the Squier Paranormal series as a line of “unconventional and unique” instruments that “combine classic features with unexpected twists.” Similar terminology could be used to describe the work of Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, the musician who’s often regarded as Josh Homme’s right-hand man and hailed as the band’s secret weapon. Alongside Dean Fertita, who switches between keys and guitar, they form the core of QOTSA’s mi
“Every line has to be played live. It’s what this freak show is all about – making it ridiculous, hard and painful for the musicians, thus fun for the audience”: Angine de Poitrine tell us the origin story of guitar’s most surreal band (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It all started with a video uploaded onto YouTube on February 5, which set off a chain of events nobody – not even Nostradamus himself – could have predicted. Within the space of just a few months, mysterious Canadian unknowns Angine de Poitrine had somehow become the most talked-about band on the planet – the ultimate gateway drug into the weird and wonderful world of microtonal math rock. As fate would have it, Seattle radio station KEXP were the ones responsible for documenting and sharing th
