Emerging from the legendary Liverpudlian stomping ground, The Mags have embarked on a transatlantic musical journey, relocating from Liverpool to New York to carve out their place in the indie rock scene. Now, with their upcoming album “This Is The Mags” on the horizon, the band unveils their first single, “When I Get Home,” offering a glimpse into their revitalized sound. Produced by industry titans Danny ‘Kootch’ Kortchmar and Will Schillinger, and mixed by Grammy award-winner Matt Shane, “This Is The Mags” boasts a formidable lineup behind the boards, signaling a rock album with serious pedigree and credibility. Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of early naughties DIY bands like The White Stripes and The Black Keys, The Mags infuse their music with a distinctive flare that captures the essence of rock ‘n’ roll rebellion. “When I Get Home” serves as a blues-infused anthem, recorded live in NYC after a five-day drinking session. The raw, unfiltered energy of the band’s performance shines through, evoking the spontaneity and intensity of a live show.With “When I Get Home,” The Mags announce their triumphant return to the indie rock scene, offering a potent blend of nostalgia and innovation. Their explosive entrance onto the circuit signals their ascent as ones to watch in 2024, promising an album that will leave an indelible mark on the genre.

Joan Osborne: Radio Waves

Congratulations to Mae Krell on the release of her new EP “imposter syndrome” produced by Jakob Leventhal. Really appreciate them bringing me in on these new songs. Check it out below.

The Loyales recorded 15 songs live in the studio. 8 people live in the room doing their thing. Worked with Milton and Julia for years and had a blast recording the band after seeing them several times blowing the doors off Sunny’s Bar. Check’em out below and hopefully we can all groove on down together sometime sooner rather than later.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joan Osborne to touch up mixes on a collection of her band’s live radio performances spanning the past 20 years from around the globe. The album “Radio Waves” is coming out on digital formats February 18th and Vinyl this spring.
