MAGNETO "Resistance Is Futile"

2006（POPBOOMERANG） ￥1,800(taxin) NEW ARRIVAL 2008.7.23

Teenage FanclubやCheap Trick、Jelly Fishなど偉大なポップバンドたちからの影響を素直に公言する、正統派パワーポップバンド。1曲目UndergroundなどはTFCがバンドワゴネスク、サーティーン期に放っていたあの青臭い荒々しさ、ノイジーな中にメロディーとコーラスが光るセンスが直球としてリスナーに放られてます。ただ彼らオリジナルのソリッドさは個性としてしっかりと発揮されておりLet It Goで見せる初期衝動とグッドメロディーの相性は最高！！特に大げさなことをやっているわけではないけれど単純にパワーポップなグッドソングを次々と生み出してくれるであろうバンドであることは間違いない。

BIOGRAPHY
Early 2003, in a dim lit, smoky bar in Brunswick, four suspicious muso's huddled in a vinyl clad booth to talk about metamorphic processes, Scottish malt and the Northwoods conspiracy. Suffice to say, like a politician in tracky dacks, the conversation awkwardly shuffled on to the topic of pop music and band riders that wouldn't save a dehydrated desert lizard. By golly, something had to be done ... and not a moment to soon!

Motivated by the love of simplistic and immediate 'rawk'n'roll' and a healthy disrespect of reality TV mock stars, the four skipped work, crammed into a Richmond rehearsal studio and wrote furiously. By the time the hallowed lights of the MCG filtered through the cracked plaster sound-proofing, they had a swag of tunes!

Not afraid of wearing their influences on their sleeves, acts such as The Stems, Jellyfish, Wall of Voodoo, Gaye Bykers, Cheap Trick and Johnny Cash, has been integral to Magneto's warm fuzzy blend of shimmering Jazzmaster driven pop. "We keep most of our songs under 2 minutes, 37 seconds and adhere to a philosophy of, if it takes longer 20 minutes to write ... it's not right", smirks Paul. "We're catering to folk with short attention spans who'll be able to digest our album in under half an hour."
