Magnapop

Magnapop are a rock band based in Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 1990, the band has consistently included Linda Hopper as vocalist and Ruthie Morris on guitar. The lineup now comprises Hopper, Morris, bassist Scott Rowe and drummer Chad Williams.

The band originally played under the name "Homemade Sister" and later "Swell" before finally settling on the name Magnapop. The band's first single, "Merry", was played frequently on Atlanta college radio stations, WREK and WRAS during the early 1990s. The band played frequently in Atlanta at such music venues as The Masquerade, The Point, and Variety Playhouse.

Their self-titled first album was produced by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. as a demo. They followed it up with Hot Boxing (produced by Bob Mould) in 1994 and Rubbing Doesn't Help in 1996, before their record label folded.

On January 25, 2005, a re-formed group released Mouthfeel on the Indigo Girls' record label Daemon Records and, in Europe, on DevilDuck Records. Their biggest singles to date are "Slowly, Slowly", "Lay It Down" and "Open the Door."

In May 2006, Magnapop completed a successful tour of Belgium and the Netherlands, and returned home to begin work on the followup to Mouthfeel.
