The June 2026 issue of Dork is available now, featuring Bleachers, Towa Bird and Myles Smith
This month's issue is full of self-belief, slow-burn growth, hard-earned honesty and the sort of records that arrive when artists trust their own instincts.
Lyrics
Hanging around for a sound or a light to guide my sight Far away from the ground Open my mind to find that I must have lost the cost while waiting in line Give me the news, I'll be alright Help me be me away from you Sign posts, mind flows, it's overdue Find me a sign for me to shine and pretend to comprehend why I wasted my time Hand me a clue I can lose and mistake for my escape, from the old and the new Man or boy, black or blue Help me be me away from you Sign posts, mind flows, it's overdue

This month's issue is full of self-belief, slow-burn growth, hard-earned honesty and the sort of records that arrive when artists trust their own instincts.
After major label pressure, near-breakups and some long, honest conversations, Ipswich alt-rock favourites Basement are back doing things their way.
Lip Critic, Shady Nasty, I Promised The World and Algernon Cadwallader also among new additions.
It's about standing on the edge of a really important decision.
