Artist Information
Biography
Magnet School formed in 2005 in Austin, TX
With a distinct Indie Rock style that stands alone in a sea of underground music, Magnet School's unique tunings and approach to songwriting (similar to bands like Trail of Dead, Sonic Youth, Swervedriver, Jawbox) have earned them a place in Texas & Worldwide as a class act. With an EP, an Album, and UK 7" Vinyl release under their belt all with stellar reviews, Magnet School has garnered lots of attention and cred on the Indie Rock scene. From being chosen as a Buzzcatcher band by Spin Magazine in Dec 2007 for their amazing debut album "Tonight we drink...," to touring the UK/Europe in Sept 2008, and being included on Shifting Sounds sampler disc for the Midem Festival in Cannes, France 2010 - they have turned heads in many places around the Globe.
Magnet School are now gearing up to record their 2nd full length album and have many interested labels in the US, Europe, UK, and Australia. Great things ahead for this 4 piece Texas Axe driven outfit.
