Inside the new Hot Press...
A packed edition is on shelves now...
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 29 Aug 2013
The brand spanking new issue of Hot Press – in stores now – sees us catch up with Electric Picnic headliners, global superstars and all-round scamps Arctic Monkeys as they descend on Stradbally.
In an exclusive must-read interview with Olaf Tyaransen, a somewhat groggy Alex Turner waxes lyrical on new record AM, Tina Turner, John Cooper Clake and also takes the time to offer his verdict on the whole Ben Affleck-as-Batman controversy.
The big interviews don’t stop there as we also check in with Johnny Marr , Giorgio Moroder and Reginald D Hunter ahead of their respective Picnic appearances. Elsewhere, we meet the stars of Orange Is The New Black and the creative genius behind Breaking Bad as Hot Press gets the lowdown on TV’s hottest properties. There’s also chats with Ebony Bones and Irish film star Domhnall Gleeson.
With college on the horizon once more, the Hot Press Student Survival Guide is back to provide essential advice on sex, social media and getting through Third Level education.
There’s also the chance for student writers to enter The Write Touch, a fantastic national competition launched in assocation with ALCATEL ONE TOUCH.
