WATCH THE SKIES! THE REZILLOS HIT THEIR HALF-CENTURY

THE MOJO INTERVIEW • Too often sidelined in his own story, Buzzcocks’ incendiary guitarist, songwriter and co-leader forges on, keeping his, and Pete Shelley’s songs, alive. Have we always got him wrong? “I was always the arrogant one,” says Steve Diggle.

WE’RE NOT WORTHY • Edwyn Collins on Steve Diggle: a cure for boredom.

BLOOD & SOUL • In THE WOMACK SISTERS’ 2026 breakthrough, the genes of CECIL, LINDA and BOBBY, plus grandpa SAM COOKE, live on. Their family history contains murder, mystery and controversy, but also music that transcends the toil and trauma of life, love and music biz skullduggery. What has it taught them? “You have to stick to your guns,” they tell DAVID HUTCHEON.

GENE GENIUS • An instant Womack family record collection, annotated by Zeimani, Kucha and BG.

AFTER THE LOW OF UP… R.E.M’S BIG REVEAL • 1998’s flawed, cryptic Up followed the loss of drummer Bill Berry. Then R.E.M. found resolution – amid group therapy, sojourns in Vancouver and Dublin, and lots of omelettes – with 2001’s Reveal. “There was less fear,” say the band and their associates. “We all knew it was our life’s work.”

fierce creatures • A feisty singer, a wildman guitarist, a bolshie keysman, a gun-toting manager: the animals were the most feral of the ’60s British beat groups – too combustible, ultimately, for their own good. A new box set and a little-seen film sheds new light on their hairy tale – but also their unique oeuvre. “Try to hear it with fresh ears,” james mcnair is advised. “It’ll blow your mind.”

missing, thought extinct • Recovering The World Of The Animals, richard mordaunt’s pioneer rock-doc. By james mcnair.
