In this month\u2019s cover story, Mike Joyce reflects on the ineffable spark behind so much great music. \u201cOn a personal level, being in The Smiths was massively intense,\u201d he tells Rob Hughes. \u201cThat feeling between four people in a band doesn\u2019t happen very often. With The Smiths, it was everything \u2014 the four of us, every single day. We all understood what we had, and that\u2019s what set us apart from any other band I\u2019d been in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In this month\u2019s cover story, Mike Joyce reflects on the ineffable spark behind so much great music. \u201cOn a personal level, being in The Smiths was massively intense,\u201d he tells Rob Hughes. \u201cThat feeling between four people in a band doesn\u2019t happen very often. With The Smiths, it was everything \u2014 the four of us, every single day. We all understood what we had, and that\u2019s what set us apart from any other band I\u2019d been in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band-as-gang remains one of rock\u2019s most potent myths \u2014 from The Stones to The Clash and beyond \u2014 and in The Smiths, at their peak 40 years ago on The Queen Is Dead, it found one of its most compelling expressions.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more, of course, in this issue. There\u2019s Ringo Starr \u2013 a man who knows a thing or two about the band-as-gang \u2013 regaling us with his side-hustle in country music, a return to Talk Talk\u2019s masterpiece Spirit Of Eden, plus more new interviews with The Lemon Twigs, Jeff Parker, Radiohead\u2019s Ed O\u2019Brien, The Human League, Laurie Anderson and an extended report from the opening night of Springsteen\u2019s Land Of Hope And Dreams tour in Minneapolis. That\u2019s before we\u2019ve started on the reviews \u2013 and a quick flag that we\u2019ve not written enough about SF\u2019s Quicksilver Messenger Service before, a fault I\u2019m happy to say we\u2019ve rectified this month.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget our new email address for your letters: uncut.ed@kelsey.co.uk<\/a>. Write and let us know what you think of this issue.<\/p>\n

See you again next month, when we have a very special covermount CD. I won\u2019t tease you unduly, but the opening lines are: \u201cGood evening, hippies. It is rumoured that there\u2019s life out there.\u201d Let me know if you work out who it is\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
