Found through the Best of NYC Year End poll: Maginot and the “other” 90s

The Astoria Pop Rock outfit Maginot‘s debut EP ‘Big Changes,’ which dropped in August, is a concise summary of what the 90s guitar pop was all about. Their melodious hooks and verses are reminiscent of some of REM’s early work and their clean guitar work shows some influence from The Strokes.  Their crisp recordings – in these days of lo-fi epidemy – doesn’t hurt either. Listen below to the rock trio’s song “Know” from the debut release (which you can cop for free) via their Bandcamp page and look out for more to come from Maginot, a band that – according to their own notes – plans to “satisfy the growing demands of an insatiable public!” – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)
