We love Nightshift here at MusicInOxford.co.uk International HQ, so it’s always a pleasure and a privilege to let the world know that a new issue is out there. And so, consider us dutifully humbled to announce that the May 2012 is available both online and at venues, shops and pubs throughout Oxfordshire.

This month there’s an interview with Fixers, a ton of news from the local music scene, and reviews of new releases from Fixers, Grey Children, Mutagenocide, Gaz Coombes, Secret Rivals, Mother Corona, As If and Tamara Parsons-Baker. There’s also a comprehensive gig guide, including a guide to this year’s Punt festival, live reviews including Cat Matador and many more, an introduction to Kill Murray, a look back at what was going on in Oxford music five, ten and twenty years ago, and this issue’s Demos section has Asher Dust & Offkey as the demo of the month and Natural Occurrences in the Demo Dumper.
