Public Service Announcement

Five Points Of Articulation are looking to add to our current line-up. We are in the market for both a bass player and a drummer. Own gear is essential.

Our influences include: NIN, Depeche Mode, Mogwai and Clint Mansell. Our sound is a sort of 'Post Industrial' sounding mish-mash of all our influences. Lots of big build ups and dynamics.

So if you know anyone suitable or are indeed suitable yourself, please point them in this direction (Here on FB). Twitter (@FPOAOfficial) or email me at mikeyfpoa@hotmail.co.uk

Thisweek's Mumin Public Service Announcement was on behalf of the SophieLancaster Foundation - sophielancasterfoundation.com

Mission

Tocreate a lasting legacy to Sophie Lancaster. The charity aims toraise awareness of prejudice against subcultures and also try to getthe hate crime bill amended.

Overview

Since Sophie's death on August 24th 2007, following the horrific attack on her and her partner Rob Maltby in Stubbeylee Park, Bacup, Lancashire, we have had lots of kind offers of support and donations. Sophie and Rob dressed in their unique way, expressing their individuality ascreative artistic people.

After consulting family and friends, we felt that a charity should be setup in Sophie’s name. The charity, known as The Sophie Lancaster Foundation, will focus on creating respect for and understanding of subcultures in our communities.

It will also work in conjunction with politicians and police forces to ensure individuals who a part of subcultures are protected by thelaw.
