Album notes
Magnapop: Linda Hopper (vocals), Ruthie Morris (guitar), Shannon Mulvaney (bass), David McNair (drums). Recorded at Pedernales Recording Studio, Austin, Texas in August, 1993. All songs written by Linda Hopper and Ruthie Morris. The same jangly, introspective power pop that characterizes many of Bob Mould's records appears on HOT BOXING, Magnapop's new album. Graced with the winning combination of Linda Hopper's intelligent lyrics and Ruthie Morris' ripping guitar, HOT BOXING is a charming, straight-ahead, post-punk record. Mould's influence in the production is obvious; it seeps in through every crack of the songs and their arrangements. Yet Hopper and Morris are not just rehashing pop's past. They craft edgy melodic hooks that stand above much of today's alternative rock, particularly the bands gaining attention solely for their female leads. Boasting tricky lyrics like, "I can't relax and close the book in my mind," Hopper's Mould-like wariness of the human condition is obvious. HOT BOXING is a pop fan's record. Starting with an allusion to the Violent Femmes' first record, it's probably that Magnapop weaned itself on the same post-punk pop records that grace the collections of many of today's twentysomething rockers and fans. With HOT BOXING, Magnapop will undoubtedly become a welcome addition to the collection. Hot Boxing is the first proper release for the four-piece band Magnapop. Hailing from Atlanta, the band had previously had an independent release. Led by the singing of Linda Hopper, who co-writes the group's material with guitarist Ruthie Morris, Magnapop delivers driving, full-throttle hard-pop, ear candy. Hopper's vocals fall somewhere between Joan Jett and Liz Phair (check out "Texas"). Alt-rock hero Bob Mould produced Hot Boxing and he wisely leaves the songs polished without leaving them slick. The pummeling drumbeats, crunchy guitar riffs, and singalong vocals make for an infectious mix. Nothing on the album is indispensable listening, but tracks like "Slowly Slowly," "Lay It Down," "Free Mud," and "Get It Right" make for an enjoyable and extremely catchy record. ~ Tom Demalon
Editorial reviews
...Magnapop makes the most of the sassy hubris of their name by living up to it....[HOT BOXING] exhilarate[s] like the Go-Go's in the year 2000, and their darker work...glimmers with a lambient glow. Rolling Stone ...effervescent with vocal hooks courtesy of Linda Hopper and the nashing teeth of Ruthie Morris's guitar... Alternative Press (10/01/1994) ...Power pop slams into punk rock....If you have a penchant for the world according to Drivin'n'Cryin' or Husker Du, this could be just the disc for you. Option (11/01/1994) ...seems stuck in a 1979 New Wave world, where Debbie Harry rules as queen with Lene Lovich at her side. HOT BOXING...is practically pogoing with skinny-tied, tight slackened anthems, propelled by the speedy punk guitar stylings of Ruthie Morris...
