Absolutely blown away the reaction to the news of us being back. This is us in 2026. Today, in fact. Outside our jam room. Getting things in shape for the summer shows.
Crash Of Rhinos are back after 13 years, and they told us all about it. Hear "Figures Of Light," the opening track from new album 'Logbook,' and read our interview with the UK emo revival greats:

We got back together. We wrote some new songs. We set up our gear in an empty library and a remote barn in Cumbria to record ourselves. What we made is called ‘Logbook’. You can pre- order it and listen to 'Figures of Light' here: linktr.ee/crashofrhinos
Big news (for me, at least): I finally have an online shop up and running. Go take a look at shop.explorestudio.co.uk A bunch of new prints. More coming down the line. Let me know if you hit any hiccups.
Banks Mill Open Studios in Derby is almost here. I'll have these new 2-colour screenprints that I've made in collaboration with studio buddy Rosie Yates for sale, along with a live printing demo in my studio. Five floors of creative goodness. Fri 28th-Sun 30th Nov. 4-7 on Friday, 10-5 all weekend.
Mega pleased to have made a 2-colour screenprint for Pile's UK/IE shows starting next week. Their latest record ‘Sunshine and Balance Beams’ has been in constant rotation since it came out this summer and is 100% up there for my album of the year. cc. @pile.bsky.social /@sooperrecords.bsky.social
Haven't posted on here yet so I guess now's probably as good a time as any. I'm Jim. A graphic designer, illustrator and musician with a big stack of underused recording gear and microphones. I just spent the last hour breaking into my own house. A real jack of all trades, you could say.
