What Sections and Content Types You'll Find on the UNCUT Website

UNCUT (uncut.co.uk) is a music and film publication whose site is organised around five main editorial sections — News, Features, Reviews, Music, Film — plus a subscriber area (Uncut+) and a magazine shop for subscriptions and single issues. If you're new to the site, start with the homepage's Editor's Picks to see what the editors consider essential, then move into the section that matches your interest: news for announcements, reviews for new releases, features for long-form interviews and ranked lists.

The main navigation sections

The site's header and footer repeat the same core menu, so you can reach any section from any page:

A Search function sits alongside the menu, and a Newsletter sign-up is offered in the same navigation block.

What each section actually publishes

News

Short, dated items. Examples visible on the homepage include a report that "a major new Beatles attraction" is planned to open in Liverpool in 2028, Blondie's new album announcement with a single featuring Johnny Marr, reissues from Butthole Surfers, and a deluxe edition of a Rolling Stones release said to include five new songs. News items carry a headline, a one-line summary and a date.

Features

This is where the magazine's signature long-form work lives. The homepage highlights pieces such as a ranked guide to Neil Young's backing bands, a ranked list of "200 Rare Records You Should Own", and a multi-part "Ultimate Record Collection" series (one instalment covers Nick Cave). Expect opinionated, list-driven and archival material rather than breaking news.

Reviews

Reviews are split between music and screen. Music reviews are typically a headline verdict plus a standfirst summarising the argument — for example, Fontaines DC's Dopamine Chamber described as a "commanding fifth album" with the band swapping guitars for icy synths, or Soft Cell's Danceteria framed as a "vivacious nostalgia fest". Reissue coverage sits here too, such as Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True and Johnny Marr's The Age Of Everything. Film & TV reviews appear under their own heading, including long-form pieces like a Neil Peart documentary review.

Music and Film

These act as broader umbrellas for coverage that isn't a straight review or news item — artist spotlights, scene coverage and screen-related features.

Editor's Picks and the current issue

The homepage opens with an Editor's Picks block that rotates between staff bylines (for example John Robinson on the "Ultimate Record Collection", Stephen Troussé on a Bill Evans reissue review, Andrew Mueller on Billy Strings). Below it sits a Latest Issue panel naming the cover stars and extras — the featured issue lists George Harrison, Amy Winehouse, Shane MacGowan, John Prine, Tony Iommi and Bob Dylan, plus a free Brian Eno & friends CD.

Uncut+ and buying the magazine

Uncut+ is the site's subscriber content area, listed as its own menu item. Separately, the Magazine section describes the current issue, and Subscribe and Single Issues are the purchase routes. The site advertises a subscription offer of 13 issues for £34.99, and issue pages carry Buy Now and Subscribe Today buttons. Pricing beyond that headline offer, and whether any content is gated behind login, isn't specified on the pages reviewed — check the subscribe page for current terms before committing.

A practical way to start browsing

1. Open the homepage and scan Editor's Picks for the current editorial agenda.
2. If you want a specific artist, use Search rather than browsing sections.
3. For purchase decisions, read the Reviews entry for that release, then check the Latest Issue panel to see whether it's covered in print.
4. If you plan to read regularly, compare the Subscribe offer against Single Issues — the advertised £34.99 for 13 issues is the benchmark to weigh against cover-by-cover buying.
