It's our annual look back at the year that was, and this year's seen more than its fair share of loud voices: from the literal, with Shame's Charlie Steen throwing himself around the world's stages, to those spreading important messages, from the AF Gang forming themselves around IDLES' messages of love and respect, to Dream Wife using their platform and Nadine Shah putting crucial matters front-centre of her music. There's also the fascinating world of Young Fathers, plus some of our favourite indie stars look back at their 2018 with - naturally - hilarious consequences.
We also look forward to what The Japanese House has been cooking, catch up with Demob Happy on their recent Jack White support tour, and meet Crewel Intentions, Another Sky and Body Type in this month's NEU.
