REVIEWS
Q Magazine - ***
“Offering swirling guitar melodies one moment (Don't Wanna Die) and testosterone-fuelled rhythms (Open My Eyes) the next.....Honey for the Soul is 60's pop at its most pure and innocent and all the more charming because of it.”
Mojo - ****
“Their material displays stadium-ready heft while also being playful, smart and, occasionally, beautiful.”
Eddy Temple-Morris - XFM Network
“I find My Federation irresistible, the combination of a groove for any dance-floor and a tune your tone deaf dad could hum, is a rare and wonderful thing.”
Rhythm Magazine
“Harmonies reminiscent of The Beach Boys and tunes lovingly drenched in retro synths, tracks from their debut album are like pop rock gold....beats so infectious they turn any confined space into a rollicking great dancefloor!”
Guardian Guide
“Harmonisous and charming garage rock.”
Gigwise “A great sound and a penchant for good foot stompers...My Federation certainly cut a new edge.”
music-dash.co.uk
“Don't Wanna Die is an accomplished and dazzling, spellbinding album.”
Influences
Led Zepellin, Neu, Herby Hancock, Free, Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, Lamb, Pink Floyd, Bowie, Prince, Souxie and the Banshees, Motorhead, Saxon
If The Who drove at high speed, crashed into a giant synthesiser and the whole thing turned into a supermonster that had sex with The Flaming Lips and The Beach Boys, then, as well as creating a mess, you’d come close to describing the awesomeness of My Federation.
They are psychedelic electro rock with balls and bells.
Don't Wanna Die single out March 24th 2008 Don't Wanna Die Album out April 7th 2008...
lol shhh now EVERY1 will know abt our kinky love affair ;)...checked out ur website and did have a bit of a giggle...i especially enjoyed the deer lol...r u guys gonna b playin down in london any time near september?xxx
well to be honest with you i hadnt really heard of you until my friends and i saw you at the concert .. but when we started listening we worked out soon enough
oh yeah also i have been looking but i cant seem to find the names of a lot of the songs that you played at caribana... my friends and i all really liked them
and i had already been on your site.. it was funny.. but you should put more info on your other sings up not just honey bee and dont wanna die.. cause i cant remember either of those 2 and i really liked a lot of the other ones.. particulary the really rocking ones
To celebrate my sister getting married I wrote a song called G & G Forever, written and produced by myself, available as a FREE DOWNLOAD on my page. I sang it in the chapel and reviews so far are: “Magical” “Movie-like” and “Your song was bloody brilliant and I can’t stop listening to it”. Honestly, I didn’t have to pay these people. Come and help yourself. JW x
Hi Guys,got me T. It was really exciting opening it..Hahaha! Little things as the saying goes. Love it! And I may add,the Geisha printed on the front by Lee's fair hand, I'm impressed, He's a man of many. talents!!!! Thanx sooo much! Wxx
Taken me a while to send this back to you guys but your album is pretty f*cking good too, as well as the live version! Looking forward to catching you guys again sometime in the future...after I've saved some money up following my wedding...arghhh! Pricey affairs!
Is this a real person or was it just an autopilot thing? At any rate, I saw you three times over there - Oxford, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. The more I heard you, the more I enjoyed you guys. Really top notch. Hopefully, you will come over here. Heck, everything is on sale for you guys given the exchange rate!
