10 Years of IP1 Magazine: Issue 6!

Posted by Howard on 07 January 2010 | 0 Comments

Legendary Radio 1 DJ, John Peel, adorns the front cover of IP1. John declares Miss Black America – a pop punk precursive indie rock outfit from Bury St Edmunds – as one of his favourite bands. Also described by Rolling Stone magazine as ‘The Best Band in Britain’ in 2002, Miss Black America formed in 1999 and enjoyed several highs along the way until eventually calling it a day in 2006.

Also featuring in issue 6 is King Billy and The Marvellous (later The Marvelous), a mad mash-up of a band sounding somewhere left of psychedelic that went on to be one of the most-adored local pub bands of all time. ‘King Billy’ somehow also make a full appearance in issue 14 (an editorial slip, or just a case of us loving this band too much?)
