It’s that most magical, marvellous, motherlovin’ mega time of the month when the new issue of Nightshift hits the shelves, monitors and mobile devices of the world at large. As usual, it’s worth reading diligently from cover to cover, and you’ll be a better person for doing so. Mint!

This month’s cover feature is an interview with The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band. There’s also a load of news from the local music scene, and reviews of new releases from Headcount, Crayon, Paul Brennan, The Other Dramas, Swindlestock, The Trophy Cabinet, Yellow Fever and Traps. There are many, many live music events listed in the comprehensive gig guide, and you can read about what’s already happened with live reviews including Supernormal festival, Wilderness festival and lots more. There’s an introduction to Traps, a look back at what was going on in Oxford music five, ten and twenty years ago, and the usual two-page Demo reviews section. Demo of the month is from Tenth Listen, in the Demo Dumper is Benjamin Edwards.
