Description
Crack Magazine is a UK music platform that started in 2009 as a DIY newspaper for music obsessives. Sixteen years later, Crack remains a vital voice, spotlighting music's most essential artists.
Crack Magazine’s first issue of 2026 is covered by the Oscar-winning musician and composer Daniel Blumberg.
When Blumberg won the Oscar last year for his score for The Brutalist, he used his acceptance speech to give a shout-out to Café OTO, the underground Dalston venue long synonymous with experimental music. In the February cover story, Simran Hans charts his journey from early indie renown to one of Hollywood’s most in-demand film composers, as he unveils two strikingly different projects this spring.
Also featured in this issue: rising star of UK jerk Ledbyher, convention-busting London rapper TaliaBle and a deep dive into Manchester’s new underground. Plus, a guide to Alice Coltrane, and Crack’s pick of the latest releases.
