This is not my first interview with a member of Magstatic and with any luck it won't be my last. While everyone from major label executives to ex-members of the Dead Kennedys are trying to water down independent rock into something lacking any integrity whatsoever, a band like Magstatic reaffirms my faith in this music. Magstatic are pop, they are emo, they are rock 'n' roll, they are punk... but most importantly the are genuine, passionate and make the music they want not because of trends but in spite of them. Frontman Terrance D.H. has been melding pop infection, emotional expression and punk integrity ever since his days in Salt Lake City's seminal punk gods The Stench... long before that music was accepted by the mainstream and he continues to get better and better...
