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, [...]

First published by Midlands Rocks www.themr.co.uk September 2011 On October 17th Toxic Federation will release their third album. Ah, yes.
