The July update is later than a teen chav's period and it can only mean one thing... this edition is pregnant with new articles! Well, no, it actually means we had some staff illness and other problems but hey we're here now and if we stuck to a regular schedule, it wouldn't be rock and/or roll.
We apologise but hey here now and with more of the usual goodness such as the fantastic Cherryfox (see <<< there)! s
Oh, and Heath Ledger's Joker? Amazing. Perfect. Nasty. I can't believe this film came out of America, it's... harsh and real. Go see it.
Get yourself signed up for the forum and make a post under the thread 'Devil's Night Free Entry' in the specials area and the randomly drawn winner will recieve 2 free entries to Devil's Night in June! Something for nothing, I hear you cry? Big thanks for the kind donation go to the DN management.
We are also keen to show a bit more of the Stoke nightlife. Some of you will have looked at the Rock Scene Roundup page, where we post some pics from local nights. Well, we want to start showing antics from more nights (The Sugarmill, Rigger, local pubs) and on top of that I'm no longer doing Coco's Friday night photography every week (everything becomes monthly when you get older!). Send in your pics to the above addy and we will put the best up so all your mates can see you being silly/pretty/drunk. If you are photographer, I'll wang your credit/link on there too, and if you are an illustrator etc we want to see your talents.
I'm not finished! We also know that there are a lot of cracking young reviewers out there, particularly at Staffs Uni. We would like to open up to submissions of articles, so if you have seen a gig recently or want to espouse your take on alternative life then check out the submission info on the contacts page. We are also opening our doors for local businesses and individuals offering services in the alt region (cd shops, printers, performers, bands, djs, etc etc) to join the Sleepwalkers Directory. For £10 one off fee you get to have your profile, links and pic listed here for all to see! That section will appear when we get some buyers- buzz us on ads@sleepwalkersmagazine.com.
Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.

Hey, it's you guys. How did you get in here? Well, since you're here now, you better have a look at these articles. First off is an addendum thingy to this month's edition- a brand spanking new article and monthly feature if we are very nice to the writer, Starcrossed. This will look at the horoscope of the month and a personality profile of the main star sign for each month, this time focusing on Leo as it's Wolf's birthday (aw).
We have reports of a gorgeous new Sleeping Beauty, Cherryfox. On the Sleeping Giants front we hear rumours of Vert and Shellshock.
I don't want to seem alarmist but reports of a bad movies have led to this hit parade of Films that Offend All Creation.
We also hear tall tales of Super Smash Bros Brawl on the Wii, and Exhibit A gigging at the Sugarmill.
