This pop-trio was founded in Pajala, Sweden and has crafted their own blend of electro-pop and riot grrrl punk. In 2015 they performed at SXSW in Austin, TX and signed with label Digsin/Universal, where their debut album ”Ugly Youth” was released in 2017. Their latest single ”Young & Wild” premiered on prime time TV and became the 10 most played Swedish song on Swedish radio. The Magnettes have been praised by sites and tastemakers like Earmilk, Perez Hilton, Popcrush and Elle Sweden and so far toured in over 10 countries. Early 2018 they’ll release new material, play Eurosonic Noorderslag in Holland, Tallin Music Week and tour Europe and make their second appearance at SXSW.
Quotes about The Magnettes
People have said about them.
Perez Hilton – The Swedish duo is very reminiscent of fellow Swedish duo Icona Pop, whom we love.
Beehive Candy – The pop hooks grab you, whilst the punk overtones give the song some real edge. All of which makes the debut album something to look forward to.
The 405 – ‘Killers In A Ghost Town,’ is a black-hearted love song and call to arms for every bored teenage girl who’s outgrown her small town’s offerings.
Drowned in sound – Swedish pop sensations The Magnettes, whose fast paced electro pop owes as much to Abba and Roxette as it does leftfield artists Ladytron or Surfer Rosa.
Pop Dust – The Magnettes Are ‘Killers In A Ghost Town’ & Will Take Over The World
Galore Magazine – The Magnettes prefer to be more accurately described as “21st Century Fuck-Pop,” a genre we are more than willing to be down with.
