Thank you to the mighty WoNoBlog for a review of our debut album!
“‘The Magic City’ is one of the nicest surprises of 2026 thus far. “Come and get it”, they sing in ’Roadrunner vs. Your Mother”… If I were you, I’d follow its advice.”

The venerable IDIOTEQ.com delivers a wonderful and comprehensive deep-dive on our debut album and all its various influences and impacts.

“There is a particular kind of rock record that feels almost displaced now: guitars up front, choruses with no apology, a little glam in the bones, a little Britpop in the walk, enough post-punk tension to keep it from turning soft. For listeners who came to heavier music through the doorway of big melodic rock songs, The Magic City’s self-titled debut has a strange homecoming quality. No strain. No posture. Just a Boston band playing the kind of album that once filled whole afternoons and probably helped point a few people toward louder rooms later.”

Hit IDIOTEQ.com for the full feature, play the album today on all major platforms, and join us tonight for the record release party at The Burren.

Our debut album is now available!
And we've got vinyl and CDs for you at The Burren tonight!

For an early read on our debut album before it hits at midnight, head to Maximum Volume Music for the 8.5/10 review: “…a really appealing listen and although there were some British indie influences, it had a real style and swagger of its own.” Then join us Friday night at The Burren to hear it live.
