It’s the most wonderful time of the month… that special, magical moment that the new edition of Nightshift drops into our lives. You can read it in print – it’s available at venues and locations across Oxfordshire – or you can read it online. Either way, make sure you read it.

This month’s cover feature is an interview with Toliesel. There’s the usual hefty swathe of news from the local music scene, and reviews of new releases from Young Knives, Stornoway, Vienna Ditto, Glass Animals, Despicable Zee, Monday Morning Sun, The August List, Prospekt, Abandon and The Knights Of Mentis. There are plenty plenty plenty live music events listed in the comprehensive gig guide, and you can read about what’s already happened with live reviews including Gathering festival, Oxjam Takeover and lots more. There’s an introduction to Rawz, 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 Beta Blocker And The Body Clock, in the Demo Dumper is Sceniclife.
