Magazine return. The first new recorded material from the connoisseur's choice in 30 years.
Enduringly credible, Magazine have always been the connoisseur's choice and frequently name checked by some of the most gifted musicians of recent years including Radiohead, Morrissey, Jarvis Cocker, U2 and Maximo Park. NME.com even went as far as to include Magazine in a poll as one of the most influential bands of all time. And quite right too.
Magazine's front man, Howard Devoto co-formed Buzzcocks with Pete Shelley after the pair had seen the Sex Pistols in early 1976 and promoted the now legendary Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall gigs. Devoto left in 1977, after the seminal 'Spiral Scratch' EP had been released, and created Magazine. Their first record was the post-punk anthem 'Shot By Both Sides'.
Four ground breaking albums later and the band had parted company, leaving behind an influential body of work which was re-released by Virgin EMI in 2007.
In February 2009 original members Howard Devoto, Barry Adamson, John Doyle and Dave Formula, were joined on guitar by former Luxuria collaborator Noko to play a handful of concerts across the UK. It was the first time Magazine had played live together since 1980. These 'Real Life + Thereafter' shows quickly sold out and received widespread critical acclaim.
