My Federation are an art-rock outfit based in Brighton, England.
Fronted and driven by renowned artist and producer Lee Muddy Baker, My Federation's sound is infused with glorious, uplifting harmonies sitting alongside crisp electronica. From artwork to musical execution, the intent of My Federation is serious fun and style.
"Trashy, head shaking lo-fi with enough texture to warrant some real attention, My Federation are a Brighton band, drawing rock and dance into an understated, psychedelic mix. Tom Tom, the EP’s third track, is undoubtedly the highlight: spacy and bouncy with glorious Led Zep styled riffage" PlanetNotion.com
"Promising songs “that are so catchy they will plague you to the grave”, My Federation are fronted by Lee Muddy Baker, a musician and producer who has previously worked with everyone from Chungking to Tim Booth to Kidda. In this current incarnation, he is creating psychedelic electronic rock with fat riffs and glorious harmonies, designed to make you leave gigs sweaty, exhausted and smiling from ear to ear."

Brighton's latest psychedelic electro-rockers My Federation release their new single 'Honey Bee' on April 30th, a monumentous step in the right direction for music. Sounding like Kasabian being tutored by The Aliens, 'Honey Bee' fits in perfectly in these baggy-revival times and shows countless 'new rave' chancers just what they should be sounding like. It also boasts the finest buzzing bee intro since The Scientist's classic 'The Bee' single. Culturedeluxe.com
In 2007, Honey Bee, the band's debut single, was championed by BBC 6 Music's Breakfast Show DJ Shaun Keaveny, winning the people's vote in his inaugural 'Band Aid' feature.
The band's debut EP, also titled Honey Bee, was released by Eye Industries on 30 April 2007 and received widespread coverage including TV play on MTV Two and airplay on Xfm and Kerang radio.
The band's second single "Don't Wanna Die" was released in April 2008 as was their debut album, also called "Don't Wanna Die". The releases coincided with the band being the support act for James's 2008 Spring UK tour.
