Happy New Year and Thank You for A Good One

The staff and artists at Magnaphone Records wish you a very happy start to 2018! There are big plans to be announced in the very near future and we can promise that it will be a very notable year for our team and our affiliated artists and music fans who are involved in what we do.

Thank you all so much for the support during 2017 as we worked with Salvadore Ross and Lioness to release two of our favorite records of the year. It is amazing to watch "best of" lists roll in and see "Mystery Head" and "Time Killer" listed over and over. Special thanks to Don Thrasher at Dayton.com for the year-in-review posted today that includes both of these. 

The start of 2018 sees Shrug, Lioness and Salvadore Ross back in the studio, midway through production of new releases. Several new acts are slated for release this year, but we're not going drop any names until details are finalized. It's tough not too...but we hope you understand. 

All the best!

Mike Bankhead Recruits Shrug Members for "Supergroup" Album Release

Shrug is gearing up to play a very special album release show with our friend Mike Bankhead, a long time music fan who finally made his own record this year with producer Patrick Himes called Echo in the Crevices. Shrug and The New Old-Fashioned will open, followed by a top to bottom performance of Echo in the Crevices by a proverbial Dayton, OH "Supergroup" that includes Tim Pritchard, Tod Weidner and Bryan Lakotas of Shrug.

 

Thank You Tom

We're all Petty fans here. There isn't anything to say that will convey the utter disbelief that he has left us, but we definitely want to give our thanks. Thank you Tom Petty for all the inspiration. You're spirit will live forever through the tunes.
