The Callous Daoboys: I Don't Want to See You in Heaven review – gonzo mathcore troupe grab on to pop hooks
There is a dystopian concept at work here – we are invited to view I Don't Want to See You in Heaven as a monument to failure housed in a futuristic museum – but it's essentially a framing device that allows vocalist Carson Pace to turn over mid-20s anxieties at a safe remove. 'Your mother saw me waiting tables and she asked if I was doing that 'band thing' still,' he murmurs on Lemon, which surges from skittering indie-pop into a muscular refrain fit for imperial-phase Linkin Park.
Existing fans might bristle at its obvious gloss, but the hook's clean lines are undeniable and, elsewhere, the band have lost none of their bite. They windmill through death growls and harrowing riffs on Full Moon Guidance, while there is similar power found in Two-Headed Trout's patient build, its maddeningly catchy chorus eventually overtaken by a febrile breakdown. The Callous Daoboys are still a lot, but they've added something fresh to their gonzo arsenal: the ability to stop and look around before moving on to the next shiny thing.

Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe and her boyfriend look totally loved-up as Dakota Johnson and O-T Fagbenle lark around at the afterparty of her new film Splitsville
Reese Witherspoon 's daughter Ava Phillippe and her boyfriend Dakota Brubaker looked completely loved-up at Splitsville afterparty in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Earlier this month, the actress, 25, revealed she moved in with her partner Dakota in a sweet TikTok video - after the pair went official in December. After taking a major step in their relationship, the smitten pair couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces as they enjoyed a night out together. Elsewhere, lead star of the movie Dakota Johnson, 35, appeared in high spirits as she larked around with actor O-T Fagbenle, 44. Dakota put on a leggy display in a shimmering green dress for the afterparty, shortly after attending the premiere with her famous mother Melanie Griffith. Melanie, meanwhile, stayed in her white tailored suit premiere look for the party as she supported her beloved daughter. Dakota and the Working Girl star, 68, made a glamorous duo as they posed together on the red carpet at the event, held at The Grove in Los Angeles. Dakota, who dubbed the scrutiny of nepo babies ' incredibly annoying and boring ' last year, wowed in a skintight sleeveless metallic gown. The actress is fresh off the heels of her seven-year relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 48. Splitsville, set to hit theaters on August 22, is a comedy directed by Michael Angelo Covino. The film's plot revolves around two couples and the drama that erupts in their lives and friendships. Dakota grew up with Antonio Banderas as her stepfather and Tippi Hedren as her 95-year-old grandmother. Her dad Don Johnson warned all his children they'd be deprived of their allowance if they didn't attend college, so Dakota auditioned for The Juilliard School with monologues from William Shakespeare and Steve Martin. Dakota admitted she 'really didn't want to go to college' in a May interview with ELLE UK, but was dismayed at the idea of being 'cut off' by the Miami Vice alum and admitted 'it was hard to make money.' Melanie, meanwhile, stayed in her white tailored suit premiere look for the party as she supported her beloved daughter By age 18, Dakota used her famous name to easily sign with IMG for modeling in 2006 and two years later she signed with the William Morris Agency for acting. 'There were a few times when I'd go to the market and not have money in my bank account or not be able to pay rent, and I'd have to ask my parents for help,' Johnson lamented. 'I'm very grateful that I had parents that could help me and did help me. But it certainly was not fun. The auditioning process, as you know, is the f***ing worst.' The Independent Spirit Award winner noted that her mother 'was the nice one' when it came to hand-outs. Dakota also has Melanie to thank for her big-screen debut, at age nine, in Antonio's dismally-reviewed directorial debut Crazy in Alabama in 1999. Before landing her breakout role in the Fifty Shades trilogy, Dakota first caught the industry's attention as panty-clad Harvard University student Amelia in David Fincher's 2010 drama The Social Network. 'When [the nepo baby scrutiny] first started I found it to be, like, incredibly annoying and boring,' the Daddio star scoffed on TODAY last year. In June, news broke that Dakota and Coldplay frontman Chris had called it quits after a six-year engagement. A source previously told the Daily Mail that, at the time of their break-up, the relationship had already 'been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out to make it official.'

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's kids and marriage bombshell revealed after 'summer that changed everything'
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are both 'genuinely ready' for marriage and children after a summer that has seen them grow closer than ever before, according to sources. The superstar pair had kept a very low profile until last week, splitting their time between the popstar's $50m Manhattan penthouse and the NFL star's $20m rental in Boca Raton, Florida. They burst back into public consciousness with a headline-making, PDA-packed appearance on Travis' New Heights podcast, though, and it now appears they're ready for an exciting new chapter in their lives. 'This time together solidified Taylor knowing that she wants to be with Travis forever,' a source told US Weekly. 'They want to be married and have kids in the future. They're both genuinely ready for that chapter.' According to the reports, the much-needed quality time between the pair has proven that they have what it takes to go all the way - and that was shown in Kelce's public fawning over his girlfriend on the podcast. The episode of New Heights, in which Swift revealed details of her new album 'The Life of a Showgirl', quite literally broke the internet, with the stream breaking with 1.3million fans tuned in. In the same 24 hours, Kelce was featured in a wide-ranging GQ cover shoot and interview, in which he waxed lyrical about Swift and opened up on their relationship in a way he never had before. 'Taylor and Travis have settled into a real rhythm as a couple, and the more time they spend together, the more they realize how aligned they are,' the source continued to US Weekly. 'During this downtime, they really noticed all the little things they have in common. They feel like they've found their person.' Both of their lives are set to be thrust back into the public eye in the coming weeks, with Kelce's NFL season set to get underway - and Swift expected to once again follow him around the country to take in his games. The Kansas City Chiefs start their season in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers at the start of September.

Glasgow girl, 12, wants everyone to enter our city awards - here's why
Georgia Shaw was named Little Champion of the Year, alongside powerchair footballer Kaiden Gemmill, eight, and taekwon-do star Dylan Dowling, nine, at last year's Glasgow Community Champion Awards. Entries are pouring in for the 2025 awards, held in association with Vertu and supported by Glasgow City Council and Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust. Georgia Shaw, Kaiden Gemmill and Dylan Dowling (Image: Colin Mearns/Newsquest) The event is a chance to celebrate the people of the city who go the extra mile for others, and we want to hear who you think should be in the mix. You have until the closing date of September 14 to nominate via our website at Georgia won in 2024 for her brilliant initiative at Springburn Unity Network in the north of the city, where she brought together young people from a variety of backgrounds, including those from asylum-seeking families, to learn how to dance. (Image: Gordon Terris/Newsquest) This year, the Springburn Academy pupil spent her summer holidays running a children's dance camp, complete with a Wizard of Oz-themed final show for the community, at Possobilities in Possilpark. Her proud mum, Claire Nisbet, said: 'Georgia ran the classes two days a week, and she choreographed a big final show for families at the end. She sorted costumes, did the hair and make up, organised trophies.' She adds, with a laugh: 'At one point, she asked me for a projector and a big screen and I had to say, you're not at the Pavilion, work with what you've got … 'But she loved it, and it was fantastic.' Georgia's summer dance camp took place at Possobilities, a small Possilpark charity which provides a range of invaluable services across the north of the city. 'Winning the award gave me the confidence to keep doing what I love and it shows that no matter what your age is, you can achieve big things,' says Georgia, who is a champion hip hop dancer, having competed in events across the city. (Image: Gordon Terris/Newsquest) 'One day I want delivering dance workshops to be my job but until then I will do it for my community and to raise money for charity. 'I was lucky to be able to support Possobilities as well as having the best summer ever with all the girls and I hope we can do this every year.' The summer camp dancers (Image: Courtesy of Claire Nesbit) The 2024 awards were a double celebration for Georgia and Claire, as Claire is volunteer co-ordinator for Possobilities. The charity's volunteers won the Champion Team of the Year award in recognition of their selflessness and hard work in giving up their free time five days a week to give back to the North Glasgow community. Many have a disability themselves.

Possobilities volunteers were on hand to help at Georgia's summer dance camp too, providing lunch and drinks each day. 'The young people who took part came from dance schools all over the city,' says Claire. 'They're all used to competing with each other, but this became a bit of a bonding experience and they're all friends now, which is great. 'Every child who took part paid a fiver, and the money raised was donated to Possobilities.' Georgia Shaw (Image: Gordon Terris/Newsquest) Claire and Georgia are urging everyone to nominate causes close to their heart for this year's awards. 'We're still talking about that night,' says Claire, smiling. 'Everyone felt such pride at being in the room with these incredible charities and individuals. 'I think it helped remind our volunteers that what they are doing is so important and valued. Winning has also brought more people in to use our services too. We've had a great response from everyone in our community.'
