Snatch Magnet

Imagine a band that has the balls to call themselves “Snatch Magnet”, and you’ll have a great start for understanding what the band is about. Even The Onion listed the name as “1 of the 10 worst band names ever.” Snatch Magnet is a hard rocking, hard partying band from Hollywood, California. They may not take themselves too seriously, but they certainly make their music a top priority. Having just completed their first LP, the boys are gearing up to promote the release due out in March. The recording is a 7-song, time-traveling doctoral thesis on the history of party rock, with diverse songs that examine everything from jazzy rock, classic rock, funky rock, jean jacket rock, 80s new wave, modern rock, and especially rock. The songs were recorded at Infrasonic Sound in LA, a studio frequented by bands like The Mars Volta, Omar Rodriguez’s solo projects, Saosin, and the Circle Jerks. Mixing and mastering was done at Tranzformers Studios in Burbank by Bryan Carlstrom (Alice and Chains, The Offspring, Rob Zombie). In just a short time, they’ve gained what OC Music Magazine called a “toxic reputation… LA party folk gravitate to these guys.” In fact, both Hustler Magazine and Xbiz have called them to headline industry events. They’ve played most of the venues considered to be the cradle of arena rock, such as the Whisky-A-GoGo, Key Club, and the Knitting Factory. And although they’ve played with a veritable who’s-who of LA rock royalty, including current and former members of W.A.S.P., Bango Tango, The Stray Cats, Cinderella, Poison, The Michael Shenker Group, the Deadly Seven, and Guns ‘N Roses, their clientele of rock addicts tend to be too young to remember most of those names. They show up to see Snatch Magnet. The band’s music, image, and mindset stand poised to capitalize on the current economic and musical climate in which people are looking for a way to forget their problems and let their hair down for an evening.
