Issue 64 is out now and includes:

The following interviews:

You Me At Six's Josh Franceschi and Chris Miller tell us how Josh would love people to see inside his head for half an hour, how Chris has learned to stay calm, how Max Helyer is so hyper he needs to see a shrink and how Dr. Dot gives the best massages.

Lostprophets' Luke Johnson tells us how he almost felt like running away from his first ever show with the band, how having to carry Mike Lewis home one night put him off drinking, how the Lostprophets guys are all down-to-earth and welcomed him into the band, and how if it was the end of the world he'd either go hang gliding or take lots of drugs (just to try them out since he's drug-free and never has).

Boys Like Girls' Martin Johnson talks about being on a never-ending quest for perfection, how he's been an attention hog since he was little, how the songs for 'Love Drunk' started off as a big soup of insecurity and how he has a weird tour habit of sleep-walking and eating- sometimes half naked.

Mayday Parade's Derek Sanders and Jake Bundrick talk about how Derek's enjoying his freedom being single, how one of Derek's ex-girlfriends wrote a song about him, how he'd rather focus on Tiger Woods' golf playing than his personal life and how Justin Bieber has a huge career in front of himself.

Twenty Twenty contemplate their curse on other bands, discuss how flyering at shows is more personal than myspace messages, how waiting to meet Mark Hoppus made Sam realise he's not going to fob anyone off and how girls are quite complicated. but they like them!

Forever The Sickest Kids' Marc Stewart and Kent Garrison chat about getting sick of albums two weeks after you've bought them, how they were jealous of You Me At Six's stage set-up, how you have to spend money to make money and how they'd rather die than go skydiving.

Halestorm's Lzzy tells us how her mother didn't have a living room in the early years as it was the band's practice room, how she's learned that if you don't love a lyric you should erase it immediately, how some boyfriends don't understand the Halestorm lifestyle and schedule and how her worst trait is that sometimes she's just too nice.

Airbourne's David Roads chats about how they're a very loud band, how they don't take themselves too seriously - although they do take the band seriously, how he loves songs that lift him up and how at the start of a tour if you overplay you may end up with a sore neck the next morning.

The Dangerous Summer's Cody Payne tells us how touring can take its toll, how winter sees flipped trucks on the side of the road, how The Audition party as hard as they do and how in the early days sometimes they didn't even know if they were going to get paid for a show.

Fireworks tell us how they strive to be different rather than fit into the mould, how their music has a lot of heart and inspiration, how they wrote a song about someone they hated who ended up killed himself and how their UK tour was a huge stepping stone for the band.
