Last week, the first issue of the magazine of my dreams arrived: Girl Fiend.
Pitched as the antidote for everyone sick of the same boring bloke rock, there’s a great range of articles from interviews with numerous women in music - including my perennial faves The Tuts - as well as those working behind-the-scenes. Thoroughly recommended.
