Magazine were an English post-punk band active from 1977 to 1981, then again from 2009 to 2011. The band was formed by Howard Devoto after leaving punk band Buzzcocks in early 1977. Devoto had decided to create a more progressive and less "traditional" rock band.

Magazine reunited in 2009 for a UK tour, with almost all the remaining members of the "classic" lineup, with the exception of guitarist John McGeoch, who died in 2004. He was replaced by Noko, who had played with Devoto in Luxuria. Magazine released an album of new material, No Thyself, in October 2011, followed by a short UK tour.

The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, or SPEBSQSA, is a society of barber shop or harmonizing quartet groups located in the United States. The society was founded by Owen Clifton Cash and Rupert I. Hall in 1938 when they had the idea to host a song festival for barber shop singers, a style of music that was slowly beginning to fade out of style. The two men invited twenty four other male singers to a meeting in Tulsa to discuss the festival, and the idea for the SPEBSQSA was born.

In 2004, the society changed its name to the Barbershop Harmony Society, or BHS. It now consists of more than 800 chapters and 38,000 members. Because the SPEBSQSA was originally a male-only club, a sister organization called Sweet Adeline’s was developed in 1945 for female quartet singers.

Stiff Records is an independent music label from London, England that was established in 1976 by Dave Robinson and Jake Riviera.  Initially started to promote bands from the English "pub rock" scene, Stiff Records quickly moved on sign musicians from the burgeoning punk rock and new wave movements.  The label was known for its humorous and provocative marketing and advertising, often calling itself "The World's Most Flexible Record Label."  The label is also famous for releasing what some consider the first punk rock single, "New Rose", by the Damned.

In 1978, Stiff Records entered into a short-lived partnership with CBS Records, and a two-year long distribution deal with Island Records in 1984.  By 1987, facing financial difficulties, Stiff Records went into liquidation and its catalog was ultimately purchased by ZTT Records.  In 2007, ZTT reactivated the label.
