Magneta Lane

 

 

 

Bio:

French (bass), Nadia (drums) and Lexi (vocals & guitar) together formed a rock band back in 2003. Magneta Lane smashed Canada over the head to get the public to pay attention with their debut EP, The Constant Lover. Now 2 years later, heavily influenced by the angel and the devil that reside on each of their shoulders, the beauties present Dancing With Daggers - the perfect balance of sinful rock and saintly melodies…

Given this album is the product of two muses, there are two schools of thought on it; while both can agree that Dancing With Daggers was named for a fascination with anything spine chilling and bizarre (dark things that have a colorful side like carnivals, the circus, fortune tellers and anything a little strange), after that, the schools diverge depending upon which muse you consult.

Classic guitar, solid drums - rock, pop, psychedelic even, yeah I said it – irresistible breaks laced between confident riffs. The thing about Magneta Lane is they don’t sound like anyone else right now, pushing expectations and winning folks round has always been the credo of this go-ahead female outfit – hear it, then believe it.
