Punk can often be an acquired taste. For, the sound can be rather chaotic compared to pop or rock and roll. While this is the case, one punk band out of Minneapolis would beg to differ as the group has a large and dedicated fan base. Originally formed in 1984, the magnolias have gone through a number of line up changes since that time.
With regards to the sound, the group appears to be caught somewhere between punk and metal. For, with buzz-saw guitar attacks, an intense rhythm section and John's caterwauling and awesome writing, when fans hear the group, they know its John Freeman's band. Whereas, as the members seem to change on a revolving basis, the sound can often change as well.
With a sound akin to that of the Clash, the Buzzcocks, the Real Kids, the Undertones and The Only Ones, one would think the band would have been more successful. At the same time, while punk bands were popular in the late 90s and early 2000s, it appears most have gone by the wayside. Whereas, it almost seems as though punk has invaded the pop scene at times.
The band released a single and LP once having signed with Alias Records. After which, Street Date Tuesday was released on the Twin/Tone label. While out of touch for quite some time, Alias Records had managed the original line-up early on in their career.
In 2007, the band released Better Late Than Never, an album of outtakes and unreleased demos. Whereas, in 2008, the group went on a European tour for the first time, returning in 2009. The tour proved successful so the band continued to record and play live shows from 2009 to 2011 when the latest album was released.
While hosting a fan page on Facebook, it appears the page has not been updated recently. For, the schedule suggest the next gig would be in July of 2017. Still, it is reported that the group still plays sporadically on an improvisational basis. Whereas, if still playing live shows, the band has also been known to play weddings and other events.
The current like up consist of John Freeman, Dave Randall, Pat McKenna and Mike Leonard. Whereas, past line-ups have included Erick Kassel, Tom Lischmann, Dave Wiegardt, John Joyce, Danna Stewart, Kent Militzer, Sam Planet, Caleb Palmiter, Tom Cook, Ron Anderson, Kyle Killorin and Johnny O'Halloran. While most information regarding bands associate musicians with the equipment played, this does not appear to be the case with John Freeman's band.
If looking for information on current members, the band or show dates, check out the Fan page on Facebook. For, it does not appear the group has an official website at this point and time. Whereas, as the last show is listed in 2017, it is also unclear as to whether there will be other gigs in the future.
