#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of @ThePurrs’ “To Bed With A Smile” (@SwoonRecords). “The power lines are a vehicle to allow life to transfer from one form of existence to another. It captures the band in their natural element: rock ’n’ roll and weirdness.” Check it out:

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #SweetUndertow’s “Jessie Lee” (@motherwestmusic). “It’s even more fun to play. It’s like a kid on the swings … getting just to the right height and speed where, when you jump off, it shoots you like a stone from a slingshot”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/20/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of @craigwedren’s “Play Innocent (Live At Henson Studios).” “A triptych riot of memories clicking from teenage summer-camp trysts through East Village misadventures in my 20s.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/19/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Full-LP premiere of @themontvales’ “Path Of Totality” (@freedirtrecords). “In celebration of the kinship we’ve found w/ other freaks across the country—deviant, self-righteous sinners, hurtling down the crooked path to freedom together”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/19/mag…

#FiveQuestions with #Heavenly (#SkepWax). “It’s been an interesting challenge writing Heavenly songs again. It feels important to have musical continuity, but equally, I can’t pretend not to be 30 years older.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/19/fiv…

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #DevlinAndTheHarm’s “No Havana” (@TheDeadShips). “I was watching my dad’s health deteriorating as political tides were rolling back to the ’50s. He watched the world rejecting progress he worked toward throughout his life”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/18/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #theDisappearingAct’s “Hard Work.” “Someone said it was hard work pretending to care about what their partner was saying to them. It struck me as extraordinarily selfish and comically outrageous. Perfect fodder for a song”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/18/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: #JohnPower goes track by track on #Cast’s “Yeah Yeah Yeah” (@scruffoftheneck, @castofficial). “I’m going to use the word ‘anthem’ a lot when describing the songs because there’s quite a few anthems on the album.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/17/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #EricGabriel’s “Rent.” “Our van broke down two hours outside Omaha because the gas station cut the diesel with water. Then we got stranded because the van company hadn’t renewed its AAA.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/17/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #GhaliaVolt’s “Ride” video (@RufRecords). “The song is pure positivity. A reminder to enjoy the journey and not just the destination … Things are heavy. So how about taking three minutes out of the day for a little levity?”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/16/mag…

#FiveQuestions with #Imarhan (@CitySlang, @Imarhanband). “Some of us have lost family members and friends in attacks on civilians. Perhaps you can feel some of that in some songs, but I think there is a bit of everything on this album.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/13/fiv…

#MAGNETExclusive: Full-LP premiere of #ThisLonesomeParadise’s “Death Motels” (#BadVibesGoodFriends). “Without darkness, there is no light. And without love, there is no fear. So lean in and enjoy the unknown spaces in between.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/12/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #KarenDahlstrom’s “Love These Days.” “I’ve spent the last couple decades steeped in folk & Americana. But I’ve found myself thumbing through my fake book of jazz standards, revisiting classics of the Great American Songbook.”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/12/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Full-LP premiere of #theMonochromeSet’s “Lotus Bridge” (@themonoset). “Sitting at the center of this room is a hare w/ an abacus & piles of paper. He complains he’s unable to predict the future due to constantly moving & changing stars”: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/12/mag…

#MAGNETExclusive: Premiere of #HunterMorris / #MountainOfYouth’s “Automatic Days” (@strollingbones_). “It’s a reminder that you don’t have to settle for good enough, because someday you’ll be looking back and wondering ‘what if.’” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2026/03/11/mag…
