Under the Radar’s new print issue (Issue 72) is shipping out soon and to encourage readers to subscribe or re-subscribe before it’s sent out, we are offering 20% off subscriptions this week. It saves us money if issues are sent directly from the printer, rather than after they’ve been sent to our headquarters, and so we are passing on those savings to you. More

Released on Valentine’s Day in 1994, Bark Psychosis’ Hex is an aptly named album as it casts a spellbinding hypnosis on the listener. Hex could be considered ahead of its time but more accurately it still sounds lost out of time. More

In 2023 I set a goal of watching as many movies as possible, in particular a lot of classics I’d never seen before. While I fell far short of watching one film a day, I did manage to watch a total of 234 different films in 2023 (and a few I saw more than once). Partially inspired by British film director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Baby Driver), I decided to log every film I watched. At the end of each year Wright posts to Instagram a list of all the films he watched in the previous 12 months. More
