There are very few reasons to be cheerful on a Monday morning. The soul-sapping purgatory of the five-day span that links the weekends has only just started and most of us labour under its soul-crushing weight. Today, however, is a little different as perfectly formed golden nuggets of good news, from a variety of sources, [...]

Well, you’d be wrong. Christ, would you… With a [...]

His expression, equal parts confusion and disdain, tells its own story. The pimples and bum-fluff tell another. A product of the i-generation, his tender years and the aforementioned disdain, make it pretty clear that the Blues, if it means [...]

First published in Moonshine Magazine, May 2011 www.mickmoonshine.co.uk Even by the standards of their own unfeasibly high work ethic, Toxic Federation’s recent level of activity would make lesser bands wince. Not content with their usual, punishing schedule of gigs, the Feddies have been burning the midnight oil in their Breaston-based studio, writing and recording, for their forthcoming [...]
