It’s coming to that point in the year when music takes a step back and film comes to the fore. With the last couple of major releases, new albums from Julian Casablancas and Biffy Clyro, due early November, labels instead turn their attention to the new artists and albums set to make a splash in 2010. Alongside the aforementioned releases, we also rule over Bob Dylan’s Christmas album, AA Bondy’s new LP and the debut from one half of the bands in our features section, The Romany Rye. Alongside uncovering singer/songwriter Luke MacMaster’s solo project, we also give you the lowdown on one of the most likely bands to make an impact from next year, new wave, piano-heavy Marina And The Diamonds.

As the Oscar hopefuls come out to play, at the London Film Festival we caught some of the best films due out in the tail-end of 2009, and though our full round-up isn’t due until next month, this issue we review Michael Haneke’s wonderful new film The White Ribbon, Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Men Who Stare At Goats, Precious and many more. We also preview the likes of Youth In Revolt, the split personality role film could make or break Michael Cera’s chances to diversify, superhero comedy Defendor and Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s next collaboration The Other Guys. The big Halloween release this year comes in the form of straight-to-DVD Trick ‘r Treat. Pass up on the latest Saw film and check out this creepy tale instead, plus you can win a copy in our monthly competition.

In our art section, we have the fantastic work of Kevin Cyr and his run-down trucks, John Malloy’s future visions and Matte Stephens’ city walk.

We’re nearing the end of the year and the last of 2009’s big music releases are on the way. First up, we pick out two of 2010’s hottest bands; The Soft Pack and Lissy Trullie, although they don’t yet have albums ready for popular consumption. Instead we review new releases from Wolfmother, Muse, Paramore, Mr Hudson and Editors, amongst others

On the silver screen, we preview some of film’s most anticipated upcoming releases; A Serious Man, Inception, The Lovely Bones, Tron Legacy, A Christmas Carol and Up In The Air. In theatres, Up at last makes it over to UK shores while Ricky Gervais’ The Invention Of Lying, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, 9 and The Goods are also given our critical eye.

To round matters off, our art and style sections are huge this month. The Little Friends Of Printmaking offer up a handful of illustrated baddies, Arielle Nadel follows little Danbo around on his travels and Hüseyin Yilmaz spends a couple of weeks in Turkey. Cover story Lauren Ward is off the circus, only the lion tamer and his friends have already gone home for the winter. Carl Heindl takes his attention down to the railway tracks for a little flower picking, and last but not least, Matías Troncoso shows there isn’t always a good side to a bit of rough and tumble, though it can make for a stunning shoot.

This month the whole world has been talking about one film; Avatar. Bracing our cover after Fox hosted an unparallelled ‘Avatar Day’ run of preview footage screenings, James Cameron’s game-changing epic is rightly causing a stir. We bring you the lowdown on what the screened scenes can tell us about the finished product, and whether Avatar really will set us forth in a new age for the silver screen. We also preview the upcoming film adaptation of the iconic Fantastic Mr. Fox, sea-bound horror Triangle and ComicCon stand-out Kick-Ass. On the reviews side, it’s a very busy month. We rule over Inglourious Basterds, Funny People, Adventureland, The Hurt Locker, Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 plus a couple more. The real UK release you should be excited about this month, however, is (500) Days Of Summer, and after giving the film a perfect 5 stars a few weeks ago, we uncover why Marc Webb’s directorial debut is the saviour of romantic comedies.

Delphic have taken over our stereo of late, so we thought it was about time to give the Manchester electro-pop-rock band some column inches. Aside the new bands, the tail end of August running into September also sees a number of indie favourites debut new records so we’ll give you our verdict on new albums from Arctic Monkeys, The Cribs, Jamie T and Juliette Lewis. Plus there’s our verdict after catching Deep Sea Diver in Chicago for a live show.

On the art front we feature the monstrous work of Hylton Warburton while for the fashion geeks out there, Pawel Fabjanski and Hannah Bacalla provide some devilish Autumn looks.

Whether we liked it or not, Antichrist was always going to steal this month’s cover. The most controversial film in years, Antichrist garnered all the press, if not the awards, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. With scenes of graphic sexual violence and a tormenting narrative only Lars von Trier could accomplish, critics are generally split down the middle declaring it either a masterpiece or an atrocity. Find out what we thought in our film section along with reviews of rom-com The Ugly Truth, French gangster movie Mesrine: Killer Instinct, Land Of the Lost and Imagine That. We also preview new graphic novel adaptation Surrogates, starring Bruce Willis, Ricky Gervais’ The Invention Of Lying and the world-ending 2012. This month we’re also giving away copies of Flight Of The Conchords: Season 2.

On the audio side we chat to latest LA export Tijuana Panthers, whom despite their fresh faces, already boast an EP reminiscent of a surf-influenced Strokes. We also check out new albums from Frankmusik, The Twang, The Temper Trap and MSTRKRFT. On the style and art fronts we have great features from brilliant illustrator Michael Wandelmaier and photographer pairing Marquis Montes, each making waves in their respective field for inspiring and imaginative work, setting an impossibly high bar for newcomers hoping to break in on their direction.

After his very public mental collapse at Primavera Festival and subsequently cancelled European tour, ironically it was their now highly debated future rather than what would have been an interview that has put Wavves on our cover this month. In the high profile, high pressure music industry, drug-fuelled mistakes of a show can happen a little more often than you’d expect but it was the importance for their career that made frontman Nathan Williams’ mistake front page news. Still, more of that in our feature. We also review new albums from La Roux, Kap Bambino, Gossip, Florence And The Machine, Jack Peñate, Slow Club and a few more.

In cinema this month we preview two of the year’s most anticipated films, Martin Scorcese’s Shutter Island and 9, as well as Iron Man 2, set to rule the box office in 2010.

After featuring her stunning work on our blog, our art section features artist Amy Casey for a full spread. The Cleveland-based artist has been making a name for herself of late, and with the help of Chicago’s Zg Gallery is ready to step up her collection and take on the mainstream art loving public. Reno Ranger is back again for our style section, this time making light of a little rain, and André Pinces chips in with his summer rules for staying cool, in the pool, or on the pitch.
