Double page spread story

For my double page spread i had to come up with a story. so i decided to brief the story at the beginning of my article and then continue on to show an interview.


We all know that STATIC FIX is the most rocking band on the streets, but we have recently discovered that they are on the verge of a break up, after an incident between Tim Harson (the drummer) and Mick reels’ (the singer) wife. Mash-up reveals all.
After static fix hit our speakers in 2006 we were instantly hooked. With their mix of heavy metal and punk rock, it took metal and punk lovers “who is this new band?” introduced by Warner brothers static fix made it to the radio, hitting the charts faster than a foot hits base. But sadly their fresh and inspiring new music has floored after Tim Harson sneaky affair with none only but the singer of the band and also best friends wife was discovered last month. We caught up with Mick over coffee in Las Vegas;
How do you feel about discovering this?:
“I don't know, I cant describe how I feel, my best friend and my wife...what are friends for eh?”
You don't seem too upset by this?:
“I’ve realised its probably better to laugh than to cry in life”
That’s a good motto… has this affected the band in anyways? I imagine things must be a bit tense?
“oh hell yeah, I mean, I cant even sit in the same room as him, or the rest of the guys at that. They all knew about it”
God that must be awful to know..
“yeah its pretty tough, as hard as it is, I’m determined to stick at this for the fans”
I hope so. So will we be expecting any new music soon?
“aha, I seriously doubt that, I don't know if were even going to be together much longer. I want to make this work though, music is my life”
Maybe in some ways this will help your song writing?
“Well yeah, maybe, I’ve always written about my feeling and things that have happened, so yeah. You may be right”
You have been getting a lot of support from your fans. has that helped you in any way?
“oh yeah definitely, id be really struggling if it wasn't for the support that I’ve been getting, its helping a lot”
We’re all really gutted to hear about the tour being cancelled, any chance of it happening?
“ well I don't know, given the circumstances I doubt it, but, if things were to progress then maybe”
That’s a shame to hear Mick.
“ yeah its tough, just give me time”
Oh we will, well Its been nice talking to you Mick, hope to see you some time soon.
“ yeah hopefully you can be interviewing me about my new album!’
Haha, good luck mick!


The reason i chose to do an interview is not only because its very conventional for magazines to have interviews with celebrities, but it is also a lot easier to read and to understand than large articles.
