MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere Of Henry J. Star's "Ember" - Magnet Magazine
As a kid, Devin Badgett wanted to save the world. “I was brutally optimistic, doing my best to live the sword-wielding-hero archetype,” says the Nashville-based songwriter, musician and producer. “It was all just a battle of light and dark back then.”
Essential New Music: World Of Pooh's "Tight And Loose" - Magnet Magazine
Tight And Loose is an artifact of a time before San Francisco became a bedroom community for the tech empires. Back in the late 1980s, it was still possible for people living there to work in record stores and other non-advancement enterprises to invest their time in creative endeavors that mocked the notion of redeeming values. World Of Pooh was one such endeavor.
MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere Of Jack Barksdale's "The Wealthy Man's Debt" - Magnet Magazine

Rock music is a great, familiar comfort that can soothe and calm our soul. Wilco supported this thesis throughout an exquisite evening of music.
Five Questions With Freezing Cold - Magnet Magazine
Freezing Cold had a good head of steam going before COVID killed its momentum shortly after the release of 2019’s Glimmer. Learning their “hurry up and go nowhere” lesson, native Long Islanders Angie Boylan and Jeff Cunningham took their sweet time making Treasure Pool (Don Giovanni). Both Freezing Cold co-founders have logged their indie miles—Boylan as a session and touring drummer for Sleater-Kinney, Aye Nako and Cheeky, Cunningham as the singer/guitarist for Bridge & Tunnel and Ordinary Lives.
