*Red Hot Chili Peppers* are the first face of Clash 122.

Perhaps the definitive West Coast party band, Red Hot Chili Peppers have defied expectations for decades now. A group driven forwards by internal chemistry, their latest change saw the band tap back into their roots, in order to locate a forward path.

The return of iconic guitar* John Frusciante* set the creative dials spinning once more, and new album ‘Unlimited Love’ opens yet another chapter for this vital, unpredictable force. In this exclusive deep-dive cover interview, Clash founding editor Simon Harper returns especially for this issue to probe the dynamic shifts within Red Hot Chili Peppers, probing frontman *Anthony Keidis *and bass player *Flea* on their new album, their international tour, and why all bets are off when these four get in the same rehearsal room together.

As they put it: “This is our life’s purpose. This is our mission. This is our gig.”

Elsewhere in this issue you can explore the staunch creativity of Nigerian multi-hyphenate *Obongjayar*, witness the uncompromising stance of *Blackhaine*, get to know Stormzy co-signed vocalist *Debbie*, experience the healing wisdom of *Ethel Cain*, and soak up *Kevin Abstract’s* words-of-wisdom to viral pop riser *Glaive* in a rare interview with the BROCKHAMPTON founder.
