A little earlier this year I shot photographs and wrote a live review of The Gaslight Anthem’s show at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town and I just noticed now that they have quoted me on their MySpace which I thought was really cool because I love these guys and it was so cool working with them. Below is a screen grab of the piece on their MySpace and then a photo of Brain Fallon rocking out during the live show. Check them out if you don’t know them. Like I have said before, they will make you want to roadtrip right now.

Currently listening to : Feist and Benjamin Gibbard – Train Song.

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

Currently listening to : Mutemath – Clockwork
