Issue 005 - Northern Souls
Issue 005 of Uppror was launched on 24th July 2012.
For our fifth issue of Uppror we have a rare gem of an artist fronting our cover - Karima Francis. We first noticed her Dylanesque frame and sensibility when we saw her play a local gig in an east London coffee house. She has the most soulful voice we have come across in a female singer for a long time and when she came to the studio and performed her new single Glory Days live we were in shock from the beautiful sound coming from this incredibly unassuming artist.
Another young artist that you’ll hear more about is actor and model Jack Royle. He shares his ambitions and some of his rough diamond side and the story behind his impressive tattoos. We also caught up with MC Rage, band member of Chase and Status, to tell us what he’s up to this summer.
With the reformation of The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays back with their original lineup – and both bands playing at this year V Festival - we decided to feature the great creative people in photography and design from Manchester that gave a big helping hand to these artists and made them so special and were also part of the ‘Madchester’ era in late 80’s and 90’s.
First photographer Ian Tilton talks about his northern roots, his influences and his long relationship with The Stone Roses. He has been with them at every step of their early career, fame and demise. Then we discuss the importance of art sleeves design with Matt Carroll, one of the trio of Central Station Design team; their partnership with Factory Records and how they catapulted some artists like the Happy Mondays to stardom status because of their unique and iconic album cover artwork and posters.
We’re lucky to have the brilliant Tom Hingley, former lead singer of Inspiral Carpets, to write for Uppror and give us his views of the so complicated life and tribulations of the signed and unsigned musicians. And is being a musician ‘a real job’?
Thomas James has also sent us his own thoughts about music from New York and the good it can do when mixed with fashion and art. A whole new perspective. And finally, having changed a few things at Uppror recently, namely a new art team, there was always going to be the invariable discussions about new and strong ideas – as well as building our new website which will offer our audience more in the way of choice – soon to arrive will be the posters and then the live events. Sign up to our networks to find out more.
Uppror has been developed as an iPad App, allowing our magazine to be downloaded globally. We will be continually developing the magazine with this in mind, to give you the best multi media experience we can. Paul Wilkinson / Creative Director
The App. for Uppror issues 001 to 003 is currently available to download via iTunes
