Dork Magazine February 2025 (Inhaler cover) Pre-Order

The February issue of Dork crashes into 2025 with a spectacular triple-cover edition that proves that the new year isn’t slowing down one bit after a hectic 2024, as new names and established Friends Of The Magazine combine to make it one of the most exciting ‘Q1’ extravaganzas in ages.

Leading our trio of covers, now four-time Dork cover stars Inhaler return with laser-focused precision, charging headfirst into uncharted territory, leaving their comfort zone behind and creating their most ambitious and authentic work yet. Alongside them, Antony Szmierek arrives like the street philosopher we all wish we'd known – equal parts social commentator and connoisseur of local chip shops. Completing our cover trinity, Victoria Canal delivers the kind of debut album that makes you want to become a professional evangelist, grabbing strangers by the shoulders and demanding they listen immediately.

But that's just the beginning. We're diving deep into L.S. Dunes' spectacular 'Violet' era, witnessing Rose Gray unleash her fully-realised dance-pop vision, and watching Lambrini Girls tear up the rulebook with revolutionary fury. Speaking of revolution, Babymorocco is crafting pop that would simultaneously terrify Pete Waterman and intrigue Brian Eno, while Witch Post turn serendipity into indie-rock gold.

The issue is packed with even more treats: Asha Banks rewrites the rules, Chalk transforms film school flair into post-punk euphoria, and Ellur emerges from a mythical Yorkshire cauldron with pure gold. We're also chatting spiral-shaped emotional journeys with zzzahara, exploring Mallrat's musical medicine, and diving into Moonchild Sanelly's teenage obsessions. Plus, don't miss our Any Other Questions with indie's new chief ringmaster Welly.

Round it all off with Damiano David's brilliant solo venture, Fontaines D.C.'s ascension to live music royalty, and enough new music to blast away those January blues – this is an issue that steadfastly refuses to let anything get boring.

Dispatch from the 31st January.
