Description
Magnapop – Hot Boxing – Compact Disc
Hot Boxing is an album by the American alternative rock band Magnapop. The album was released in 1994 and is known for its blend of alternative and pop-rock elements, featuring catchy melodies, energetic performances, and the distinct vocals of lead singer Linda Hopper.
Hot Boxing is the first proper release for the four-piece band Magnapop. Hailing from Atlanta, the band had previously had an independent release.
Magnapop gained attention in the 1990s alternative music scene, and “Hot Boxing” is often regarded as one of their standout releases. The album showcases the band’s ability to create songs that are both accessible and emotionally resonant, with a mix of introspective lyrics and upbeat musical arrangements.
Led by the singing of Linda Hopper, who co-writes the group’s material with guitarist Ruthie Morris, Magnapop delivers driving, full-throttle hard-pop, ear candy. Hopper’s vocals fall somewhere between Joan Jett and Liz Phair.
Alt-rock hero Bob Mould produced Hot Boxing and he wisely leaves the songs polished without leaving them slick. The pummeling drumbeats, crunchy guitar riffs, and singalong vocals make for an infectious mix. Tracks like “Slowly Slowly,” “Lay It Down,” “Free Mud,” and “Get It Right” make for an enjoyable and extremely catchy record.
The album’s title track, Hot Boxing, along with tracks like “Slowly, Slowly” and “Open the Door,” capture Magnapop’s signature sound, which combines jangly guitars, driving rhythms, and Hopper’s distinctive vocal delivery.
Hot Boxing received positive reviews from critics and has remained a favorite among fans of alternative and indie rock. The album’s mix of pop sensibility and rock edge contributed to its enduring appeal.
If you’re interested in exploring Magnapop’s music and Hot Boxing, you can find the album on music streaming platforms or consider checking out local record stores or online music shops that offer alternative rock releases. The album provides a snapshot of Magnapop’s contribution to the alternative music scene of the 1990s and their ability to create engaging and memorable songs.
