专辑简介
Magnapop are a rock band based in Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 1990, the band has consistently included Linda Hopper as vocalist and Ruthie Morris on guitar. The lineup now comprises Hopper, Morris, bassist Scott Rowe and drummer Chad Williams.
The band originally played under the name Homemade Sister and later Swell before finally settling on the name Magnapop. The band's original line up included bassist Tim Lee (The Wind Breakers, Tim Lee Three) and drummer David McNair (Oh-Ok, Billy James, The Indicators, The True Levellers). The band's first single ("Merry" b/w "Rip the Wreck" and released as Homemade Sister) was played frequently on Atlanta college radio stations, WREK and WRAS during the early 1990s. The band played frequently in Atlanta at such music venues as The Masquerade, The Point, and Variety Playhouse. Their first high-profile show was at the 1991 New York New Music Seminar along with three other bands that were introduced by Michael Stipe[1].
Their self-titled first album was produced by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. as a demo in 1990, to be released on Caroline Records two years later, and re-released by Play It Again Sam Records. They followed it up with Hot Boxing (produced by Bob Mould) in 1994 and Rubbing Doesn't Help in 1996, before their record label folded. In the meantime, bassist Shannon Mulvaney left the group. The band supported R.E.M. on their 1995 world tour.
On January 25, 2005, a re-formed Magnapop released Mouthfeel on the Amy Ray's record label Daemon Records and, in Europe, on DevilDuck Records. Their biggest singles to date are "Slowly, Slowly", "Lay It Down" and "Open the Door."
In May 2006, Magnapop completed a successful tour of Belgium and the Netherlands, and returned to Atlanta to begin work on the followup to Mouthfeel. Rumour has it that the recordings have been completed but a release / tour will have to wait until 2009.
