MAGNETIC HEADS ARE BRIGHT: like the radiant, bleached and blinding sunlight of an endless Australian sky. Formed by Jonathon Miller (a.k.a Des Miller), drummer Christopher Rudge (Dolly Rocker Movement, Flying Foxes) and guitarist Evan Lock, the sound is something distinctly from ‘here’. A heavy focus on jangling 12-string guitars, tambourines and synths is presided over by Miller’s penetrating and transfixing vocal delivery. Their first single, BLIND is reminiscent of the English new-wavers (Echo & The Bunnymen and Morrissey) and classic Australiana (The Go Betweens, The Church). Now joined by brother William on bass, and cousin-duo Lucy and Dave Kaldor, the 6-piece presents a captivating, energetic and engulfing live show that takes you back, and drives you forward. Magnetic Heads have released two EP’s, their extremely well reviewed debut: You Will Tear Down Everything That Stands In Your Way is available now from Bandcamp and iTunes and now their eagerly awaited sophomore effort: Wild Eyes, also available from Bandcamp and iTunes. Here’s what some say about the band: Indie Album of the Week (You Will Tear Down Everything): “channeling the distinct sounds and instrumentation of a genre of yore while adding a new twist” – The Brag “Their songs veer away from traditional song structure… they sound smooth, polished but most importantly incredibly fresh and exciting” “They played one of the best live shows I’ve seen all year. Lead singer Jonathan Desmond Miller looked a bit like Bob Dylan and sounded kind of like Morrissey” – Faster Louder More information, pics, shows etc: http://magneticheads.net
