Ian Astbury is so much funnier than we imagined. The Cult, his mighty metal-crunching band with guitarist Billy Duffy, has just released Choice Of Weapon (Cooking Vinyl), the newest and best Cult album since 1994’s The Cult. In our Q&A with him, Astbury takes down those who make themselves authoritarian without merit—music journalists, politicians—in a fashion similar to his highly personal lyrical outlook on Weapon. He is guest editing magnetmagazinecom all week with the same candor.
Astbury: This is a clothing label I design. Ever since I was a kid, I have loved clothes. Not so much what was fashionable, but more what was stylish and felt right. I dabbled with designing T-shirts and some cut-and-sew pieces eight years ago, and have been designing and making limited runs ever since. A summer capsule collection is coming soon. Available at Union Los Angeles and Supply Sidney.
