Magazine Mania

Ok my name is Flynn and im 17 years of age. I recently came accross this band (Magazine) and i think they truly do rock! I mean if you compare them with modern day "New Wave" bands such as Franz Ferdinhand or Kaiser Chiefs....Kasabian etc the difference is that Magazines music is.... how can i put it... FAR BETTER. I mean no offence or disregard for them, i am quite a fan myself! I started listening to Magazine roughly a couple of months back and i realised how good they were and how not so different they are to our modern day bands! Maybe they were just ahead of their time back in the late 70's to the early 80's or maybe they weren't, opinions differ. I also introduced them to my friends at school basically all around me, and of course just like me they got right into the music and now they love it! I have done some research into this band and i have realised that they were so underrated, they did deserve better! I mean come on if you have listened to some of their music, you just have to hear the almost perfect timing and maybe "togetherness" (if thats a word, you know what i mean) of the band. In fact they weren't just one style they were a mixture of many different influences, including: Thematic film type music paticularly that of John Barry (they asked him to produce their second album, but due to expense of making it in L.A it could not be achieved). The drummer (John Doyle) and the bass player (Barry Adamson) just keep the band alive with the funky grooves and riffs! Then comes the awesome talent of Dave Formula on his array of Keyboards, organs... you name it he had it! Then comes John McGeoch on guitar giving the extra bit of drive that the band needed to sustain the tune, including some aswesome riffs. Howard Devoto (previous member of The Buzzcocks) gives the atmosphere and stage presence that the band needs for fan charisma... and if you needed anyone for a interview HE IS YOUR MAN. Throughout the years since magazine many bands have indentified magazine as a key influence in their music making, bands such as: U2, Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus, simple minds (who even stole the name of one of magazines album names) right up to Britpop acts such as Supergrass and Blur in places! I have heard of rumours that Magazine were having a reform tour, but you know rumours, anything can be said!Well, Magazine possible one of the greatest Punk/NewWave bands of all time! An amazing influence to some huge and i might say very succesfull bands, who knows maybe one day with enough support they might reform, so please if you are a magazine fan or someone who wants to hear such a great band back in action support this post!!!
