Notes
Formed in Minneapolis in December 1984, the Magnolias released five albums/CD's and one EP from 1986 to 1996 on Twins Tone Records and Alias Records. This new CD, on SMA Records, contains unreleased recordings of the band between the years 1990 and 1997. Better Late Than Never contains a total of 13 tracks, eleven of which were recorded in the studio and two live tracks.. Amongst these thirteen tracks are seven songs that have never appeared in any form on any previous Magnolias release. FROM TROUSER PRESS: THE MAGNOLIAS Discography: Concrete Pillbox (TwinTone) 1986 For Rent (TwinTone) 1988 Dime Store Dream (TwinTone) 1989 Hung Up On ... EP (Alias) 1992 Off the Hook (Alias) 1992 Street Date Tuesday (Twin Tone) 1996 Better Late Than Never (SMA) 2007 THE PUSHBACKS (Fronted by John Freeman) No Strings Attached (Veto) 1999 Formed in the towering shadow of Hüsker Dü and the Replacements and a few years behind Soul Asylum, the Magnolias were doomed to be Minneapolis' scruffy also-rans, the band that got left behind when everyone else graduated to the big leagues. And while the revolving-lineup group never developed a national profile anywhere near the scale of those other bands, singer/guitarist John Freeman has persevered, making music to be properly proud of. The Mags spew back hometown styles with gusto on Concrete Pillbox, which they co-produced with Grant Hart. (Note the familiar drum sound.) Some of Freeman's songs show real melodic and structural promise; a bit of power pop (and a faint Cheap Trick influence) emerges in the quartet's aggressive playing. Replacements soundman Monty Wilkes co-produced For Rent, a looser, better-developed collection that features a new bassist and a snare-happy mix. Roaring out of the starting gate with 'Walk a Circle,' 'Glory Hop' and 'Goodbye for Now,' the Mags shed imitation (save an abiding Buzzcocks influence) for a loud, textured personality they can call their own. Over catchy riffs that put a nifty twist into the hard-driving songs, Freeman's voice registers aggression in both hoarse rage and quiet poise. A very promising sophomore LP. Recording the inconclusive Dime Store Dream in Prince's Paisley Park Studios didn't make the Magnolias funky, but it did give them a raging guitar sound. A busy new drummer and producer Jim Rondinelli's overheated mix interfere with the group's small-scale charm, but some cool songs ('Flowin' Thru,' 'Don't See That Girl,' the pseudo-Replacements 'Coming on Too Strong,' 'In My Nightmare') do cut through. While Freeman's singing gives the album it's reassuring consistency, bits of vocal syncopation add an intriguing new dimension. That trio of records, however, was just a warmup for Off the Hook. Played with taut, scrabbly precision by returning drummer Tom Cook, super bassist Caleb Palmiter and guitarist Kent Militzer, the best songs of Freeman's life portray a dispirited romantic avoiding anger and bitterness by discharging his emotional burdens into sensitive, tuneful, speedy rock'n'roll. Rarely has punk sounded such a winsome note. For an artless singer, Freeman's voice is incredibly expressive; carried along on bracing rhythm-guitar riffs woven with pretty lead figures, his wry lyrics and catchy hooks help Off the Hook rabbit-punch back at disappointment with a poker face and the certainty of a better day coming. 'When you ask me how I'm doing / Do you really want to know? / And I'm lying when I tell you I'm fine / I'm really kinda low / But I put on a smile / If only for a while / But when I'm not up to giving / And when I'm not up to living / I think of tomorrow.' Freeman's world here is fraught with ambivalence. 'Hello or Goodbye' attempts to resolve a bi-polar relationship; in 'Matter of Time,' a lover is heading out west, and Freeman balances his disdain for the smog and sure-to-break dreams of Los Angeles with cocky hope for her return. Chalking up eleven fine originals and a bristling cover of Chris Osgood's perplexed 'Complicated Fun'
