The future's bright the furture's TMRW

TMRW is a brand new independent quarterly magazine, aimed at the modern professional, it's packed full of new music and the latest fashion. The first issue looks amazing, with it's modern, minimalistic and fresh look and it feels great too, so what more could you want?

Oh that's it; some great content, including interviews that aren't written in Q&A format, which is a breath of fresh air! Seeing as a lot of the magazines out on the shelves are mostly question and answer based.

Being an independent magazine, they really have helped support other independent companies throughout the pages of the zine. Including UK clothing company hype and premium head wear brand jelly and cream.

The magazine seems to have a great community involved with it, from Joe Brine (@joebrine) the creator of TMRW to the people who write articles for them. Mainly written by aspiring journalists which is great as it gives them a new platform in the difficult journalism world. 

I love the feel of the magazine (I'm all about the haptics!) it has great print quality and the photography looks amazing, and fits in with the look of the magazine. 

Please ignore my weird hand...

This zine has something for everyone, from Caggie Dunlop from Made In Chelsea talking about her new singing career and Oliver Proudlock also from MIC but instead talking about his T-shirt brand Serge De Nimes. This is great because they could have easily gone down the television route, however they decided to take a different angle. This is all in their debut issue, along with some interesting content and no 'horoscope section' in sight! 

(don't get my wrong, I love a good horoscope, but that's what I have company for)

 The second issue includes many things including the indie pop London based band; Bastille along with new clothing brand 'Friend or Faux' and singer from The Voice - Tyler James on the cover.

You can buy it now (HERE) where you can purchase it for £3 which is a great price for a quarterly magazine. 

I really hope TMRW carry on giving a breath of fresh air to the magazine community and have many issues in their repertoire. I can't wait to get my paws on the second issue!

Reading, Reading Festival!

So, I'm back from Reading festival, well I got back yesterday but I've only just got back to reality, with a lot of sleep, a really long hot bath and home cooked food. So glad to be home, however I loved the festival it was amazing. I was a bit apprehensive at first seeing as it was my first ever festival and wasn't sure if I would enjoy it, as I was going to be camping in a cold field with strangers all around. 

However once I got my tent up and had all my friends around me a fire going a drink in hand, I felt a bit better, and the weekend became the best weekend ever! 

As you can tell by my sun burnt excited face here...

I worked out I saw 23 bands over the three days, which works out at about £9 for each band, which is pretty amazing, seeing as I saw massive bands such as the mighty Foo Fighters, the completely insane Florence and the Machine, the amazing Black Keys, among so many more that I just love. I may have to make a pay list of all the music I saw over the weekend and I have already re watched the Foo Fighters set with my Dad. 

Here's a photo of the happy campers and I plus a random pink haired photo bomber on the left. This was just before the Foo Fighters on Sunday night! Best night of the whole weekend, I couldn't believe how great it was, seeing as a dream of mine for so long was to see them live. 

When they finished their set, the canons went off and thousands of what we thought were confetti fell to the ground, just where we were all standing. As soon as they came a bit closer and we were all jumping to catch whatever it was, we realised it wasn't any old confetti and was custom made dollar bills. I grabbed a couple and after looking at them we found that they were marked with the days date and loads of little messages all over it. Amazing! They then played their encore which ended in Everlong, it was the best gig of my life.

If you wanted to know my camouflage jacket by the way, it served me well, so glad I bought it before going. (from a friend, for a fiver!) There were a lot of people also wearing camo jackets, I would see at least 30 people a day! There were also vintage stalls selling them all around the site, so we can now say that most people will or already have grabbed onto the grunge trend. 

All in all I had an amazing weekend, full of laughter, jumping, singing, dancing and friends. I would love to think I will go next year but I'll have to see the line up before buying a ticket. 

Now off to watch highlights on bbc Iplayer.

Did anyone else go to a festival this summer, what were your highlights and would you recommend the festival?

Also did you notice many people wearing a certain thing, adhering to a certain trend whilst at the festivals?
