My Federation was an indie rock ensemble originating from Brighton, England, fronted by musician and producer Lee Muddy Baker.
Their initial single, "Honey Bee" (2007), attracted attention on BBC 6 Music's Breakfast Show, securing the audience's vote in DJ Shaun Keaveny's 'Band Aid' segment. The Honey Bee EP, issued by Eye Industries on 30 April 2007, gained visibility through broadcasts on MTV Two and received radio play on both Xfm and Kerrang stations.
In April 2008, the band released their first album, Don't Wanna Die, accompanied by the single of the same name. This launch aligned with My Federation's role as support for James during their Spring 2008 UK tour.
May 2008 saw the band featured on BBC's The Culture Show. During the summer, they embarked on a European tour, performing at festivals throughout the UK, France, Switzerland, and Latvia. Later that year, in autumn 2008, their song "What Gods Are These" from Don't Wanna Die was included in the soundtrack of EA Sports' football title FIFA 09.
Although there were intentions to produce a second album and undertake a UK tour in 2009, these plans were halted following the departure of keyboardist Greg Saunders. The group’s last live appearance took place at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, before they dissolved soon after. Saunders' exit reportedly left the band without clear direction.
