Magic Bullets

Nice band from the SF Bay area. They sound like they fit in with the twee pop bands of Sarah records in the early 90's.

Here's a track called Lying Around from their new album.

Here they are live in NYC. The vocalist sounds a bit like Nick Heyward of Haircut 100. The melody of this tune sounds like it could have easily been nicked from Altered Images.

Yeah, good call, definitely.

The drummer has some pretty serious 'drum-face' goin' on!!
