MAGNETIX RELEASES

MAGNETIX "Positively Negative" LP NO EXPORT TO EUROPE Europeans: order from Born Bad

It's finally happened! The Magnetix, France's most prolific and distorted rock'n'roll band has finally teamed up with Slovenly for what is sure to be a match made in Heaven (or Hell, depending upon your definition of pleasure). We couldn't be more thrilled to be releasing this platter fresh off the heels of their publicly praised recent U.S. mini-tour. With this release MAGNETIX embark on a slightly more mature trip than their usual blasts of revved up raunch, and go for an all out oozing set of fuzz drenched hog riding throbbers. Members Looch Vibrato and Aggy Sonora (life partners and sole band members) are really going for it this time, concentrating equally on songwriting as well as displaying their pounding prowess. Take "Mort Clinique" in it's mid-tempo madness, catchier than cancer and twice as deadly, and we're barely scratching the surface of this monster set of instant-classics. With mega-psychedelic cover art to match the grooves within, be sure not to stare at it too long... your eyes could bleed right along with your eardrums.

#27: Magnetix 45 "Rib Out" & "Brain Out" b/w "Nulle Autre Que Toi"

The Magnetix (from Bordeaux, France) are currently one of the most prolific bands in Europe's garagepunk underground. Adding to their twisted discography of revved-the-fuck-up black plastic burners, The Magnetix have blessed our souls with three new blasts of rhythm and bent distortion that'll have you fucking some lucky other on the back seat of a hopped up two-wheeler. One song is sung in French (for all you lusty Francophiles) and we're pretty sure the other is in English. HAR! One thing is for certain, these three tracks, by way of nothing more than nuance, is reminiscent of the sides that 90s garage legends THE DRAGS graced our turntables with way back when we were first learning about cocaine and drinking whiskey straight up. As Magnetix drummer Aggy declared on their recent U.S. mini-tour when asked what she likes to drink... "BOURBON."
