Sandy Dish are a high-energy punk band from Melbourne, Australia, known for their sharp humour, chaotic live shows and no-filter attitude. Formed in 2018, the five-piece — Brook Storti (vocals), Andy O’Connor and Lachlan Meager (guitars), Tiffany Fowler (bass), and Willis Hugisloot (drums) — first introduced themselves with a tongue-in-cheek demo release that immediately established their irreverent tone. Since then, they’ve dropped multiple EPs including God Might Be Gay (2020) and Album (2021), weathered lockdown-era delays, and built a reputation for riotous performances and bold personality. Their 2025 album JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT MUSIC COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER continues that trajectory, cementing them…

Still, Band of Brothers is only one example of many war dramas produced for television. With that in mind, here are the war shows we…

The inner lives of buildings and institutions provide an intriguing and enlivening way of looking at the modern landscape, particularly through film.

The 21st century has been particularly kind to the master detective because he’s been the lead of many series: from prestige BBC dramas and network procedurals to Japanese adaptations and supernatural twists. Modern television has reinvented Holmes for every possible audience, turning the character…

They are excluded from its ideal, not just by the intervening window, but because their own notion of a home life has been cruelly broken by the death of their mother and the horrific abuses of their father. Yet this model of family which they now envy comprises lifeless, plastic mannequins – a grotesque parody of domestic contentment. They are notably all white where the sisters themselves are not. Nonetheless, the quest…
