When it comes to punk, the sound is often an acquired taste. For example, the magnolias based out of Minneapolis, MN and fronted by John Freeman has a number of dedicated fans. While this is the case, the group originally formed in 1984 though have had several line up changes over the years. In fact, Freeman is the only original member.
When it comes the sound, the group seems to be caught somewhere between punk and metal though extremely identifiable by long time fans. For, with saw buzzing guitar licks, John's caterwauling, an incredible rhythm section and songwriting, when fans hear the music, most immediately recognize John Freeman's guitar playing and vocals.
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.
In 1992, the band released an EP and one LP after signing with Alias Records. Then, later released Street Date Tuesday, in 1996 on the Twin/Tone label. A label which carried the band earlier in their career. Whereas, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the group experienced a rather slow period.
Once Better Late Than Never, an LP consisting of unreleased demo tracks and outtakes came out in 2007 along with an EP, the group went on an European tour in 2008, not returning home until 2009. With the tour being a success, the group saw the need for live shows and went on to record and play live shows from 2009 to 2011. While currently on a break, the group hopes to reform and tour in the near future.
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.
At last notice line up included Dave Randall, Pat McKenna, Mike Leonard and John Freeman. Whereas, past members have included Tom Lischmann, John Joyce, Ron Anderson, Kyle Killorin, Tom Cook, Sam Planet, Kent Militzer, Caleb Palmiter, Johnny O'Halloran, Danna Stewart, Dave Wiegardt and Eric Kassel. Unlike other bands, there are no listings as to which instruments were played by which musicians.
