About The Magnificent

The Magnificent are a band from the North of England. They sing about stuff that affects their lives. Important things like pigeon fancying, coal mining, big balls, brewing beer, cutting down trees, playing squash, coalition governments that don't work and whippets.

Their sound has been compared to Pinhead Gunpowder, The Replacements, Billy Bragg, The Clash, Alkaline Trio and maybe someone being sick. If you are American, the music sounds English. If you are English, you have never heard of this band.

The Mags started in 2007 and the current line-up is Matt (guitar, vocals), Jimmy (bass, vocals) and Charlie (drums). Their second full length LP 'Bad Lucky' came out in January 2012.
