Magnapop are a fantastic four-piece pop-core band from Atlanta, GA. Singer Linda Hopper and Guitarist Ruthie Morris have been playing together for years. After a self imposed hiatus, and the addition of Scott Rowe on bass and Chad Williams on drums, the band is back and better than ever. After two sparkling albums on Priority Records, “Mouthfeel” is everything you’ve come to expect from this great band. Ruthie’s guitar lines wrap magically around Linda’s hypnotic vocals. Want a true testimonial of their brilliance? Why not ask two of their greatest fans: Michael Stipe and Bob Mould. “We are a band who really likes what we do, and I think that’s a great way to sum us up.” Morris says earnestly. “It’s really fun to play in this band. We can’t wait to go and bash around.”

“Magnapop are like a cross between AC/DC and the Young Marble Giants”
– Michael Stipe.

“What makes Magnapop interesting (and different from many of the punk-pop bands out there) is the combination of Hopper’s smooth unhurried vocals and the furious lashings of Morris’ guitar – it creates a tension that makes the group’s songs all the more dramatic an intelligent, underappreciated band”
