Uncovering the slept-on artists you need to hear and the fashion you want to wear, this summer the ASBO team have been on the hunt, keeping their fingers completely on the pulse of new sounds and strides.

We caught up with cover stars, Brigitte Calls Me Baby, in San Francisco before they took their evocative and romantic rock/pop muse down the West Coast of California. Discussing bad hair and great songs, it is a must read about their journey leading to the brilliant new album 'Irreversible'.

Over the border in Texas, English four-piece, Grandmas House, share their diary at this year's music expo, SXSW. Shenanigans and tacos, all in time for the release of their debut album this week.

The centre fashion spread features Parisian (by way of Ivory Coast) Assoke Felix Loadjro and the amazing graduate collection, 'Babi'. Vivid and colourful, the words and pictures just jump out of the page.

Grab some clothing ideas from the Manchester institution that is Pretty Green, and from the same fair city, read about their new band The Falls, who keep Manchester's reign as the top city producing fine indie pop records. It's the guitars, bass and drums, keeping it United.

Also featuring Northern Irish electro/cyber punk of Chalk, IZCO and his might debut album of freestyle/dnb, the visual sophistry of Karyyn and our own Sasha Wilding being provoctively Westwood in the 'You're Not Going Out Dressed Like That' feature.

All this and more for £5. Just go to the shop and absorb. A few previous issues are also available.
