Interview about my work with Bluntmag

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

A few weeks ago, the editor from Bluntmag regarding my photograph and the work that I am doing in the music industry here in London. I always feel weird with stuff like this because I don’t ever want to come across arrogant or anything like that because I don’t think I am “cool” for doing what I do, I just love it so much.

Anyway, you can read the interview (please do) online for free at http://www.bluntmag.co.za/people/features/?article_id=2317. I think it came out pretty cool and it contains some information about how I started out. It was fun thinking back to those days.

Below is the front page of the article as well as some of the band photographs that feature in the article (including Bloc Party, Papa Roach, Rise Against, Swivelfoot, Zebra and Giraffe, Taking Back Sunday, Nofx, Juliette Lewis and The Gaslight Anthem). I hope you like it. Please let me know what you think.

Chat soon, Marcus

NOFX

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

NOFX is currently touring South Africa thanks to the guys from Punk Safari. I went to the show last night and it really brought back a lot of good memories from when I was younger and just getting into skateboarding with my friends. These guys have been playing together for basically as long as I have been alive for.
