New Single Review in Netherlands WoNoBloG

Review: Roadrunner Vs. Your Mother. The Magic City
2023, week 46.2, 10 singles

A new band from Boston? What's new?! I can almost hear you sigh, but wait, this single is very much worth your while. The Magic City is a new band from the city, with a sound that goes way back. More aiming for pop than rock, the band touches on early 70s Bowie and pop from the U.K. from the 60s as well as the 90s. With a clean sound The Magic City sets itself apart from almost all other bands I have gotten to know in the past years from Boston. Roadrunner Vs. Your Mother even starts a little dull at first encounter but I dare you to be patient. The Magic City does deliver. The band slowly but surely builds the song up, without a million decibels or instruments added. The song simply gets a body, while sticking to that sweet angle it has as well. Just a little emphases in the singing and a good guitar solo do it all. "Come get it" the band sings and that is exactly my advice to you: go and get it!
