Minimal Fidelity – Review
From Minimal Fidelity: “It’s not often that an Australian band captures the influences of music close to home and that from distant lands. The debut EP from NSW based five-tet Magnetic Heads evokes memories of bygone eras yet still seems immediately recognisable. Sounding reminiscent of both The Church and Echo & the Bunnymen, the magnetic [...]
Bootleg Beamer (Oxford Arts 19.3.11)
Some kind words from the Fasterlouder folk about the Jimbeam Bootleg show… “Generally brand endorsed music events are just thinly veiled exercises in product pimping. However any apprehension I had of being bombarded by ads was quickly dispelled when I was greeted by OAF*’s bare brick walls. Thankfully free of a potential barrage of Jim [...]
City Hub – Review
By Brian Yatman of CityHub “Some of the best rock’n’roll is made by frail youths wrestling with 12-string guitars. While the 1980s underground of the popular imagination was about asymmetric haircuts, drum-machines and eyeliner, the reality (locally, at least) was more pointy boots, Rickenbackers and paisley shirts. And eyeliner. Bands like The Triffids and The [...]
BRAG: INDIE ALBUM OF THE WEEK 13.12.10
Andrew Geeves of The Brag reviews You Will Tear Down Everything That Stands In Your Way. 4/5 Stars… Read it in the flesh in a magazine that looks like this if you live in Sydney, Australia: Or read it now “Any band that manages to squeeze “Holy Moses” and “Sanguine charms are behest” into their [...]
Review: East Brunswick Club 3/12/10
“Magnetic Heads, who recently released their own EP You Will Tear Down Everything That Stands In Your Way, may have been more on the new-wave tip but similarly wore their influences on their sleeve. Their jangly sound illustrated a fondness for Talking Heads, The Cure, The Church and even early REM, and the building audience seemed [...]
Another Review… Gaelic Club Sydney 26/11/10
“… Magnetic Heads opened the evening with some wonderfully constructed songs. The influence of Talking Heads hovers above the group at times, not just in aspects of their sound but also in the tone of Des Miller’s voice when he hits the higher notes. When he stays low he has a kindred spirit in Jack [...]
A Review… Jive Bar 4/12/2010
“…followed by Magnetic Heads who were apparently missing two of their members. You would probably assume that would have a detrimental effect on a bands performance. Unless maybe they played triangle or tambourine (Joel Gion from The Brian Jonestown Massacre excluded). Either way, they played one of the best live shows I’ve seen all year. Lead [...]
