"'Magazines'" (also known as "Kings of Holey") is a track by Welsh rock band The Automatic on their second album 'This Is a Fix'. The track was announced as their second single from 'This Is a Fix' in late 2008; however, for unexplained reasons, the single and further release of material and promotion of the album ended in early 2009, with the band re-entering the studio to record their third album instead.[http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/articles/tracks/the-automatic-magazines Magazines single] thisisfakefiy.co.uk, November 4, 2008

Writing
In an interview with the BBC guitarist James Frost spoke of the track '"There's a track called Magazines that is totally different to anything we've ever done before, I think it could be a sign of what we might do on the next album. It's this kind of dirty, sexy thing"' Rob added: '"It's like hip-hop with singing really, isn't it."'[http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7493000/7493709.stm the automatic this is a fix interview] bbc.co.uk, June 2008 During the writing and recording process the track was known as "Kings of Holey".[http://www.last.fm/music/The+Automatic/+videos/9905163 The Automatic tell us all about their new album, This Is A Fix, exclusively on Last.fm] last.fm, August 2008
