Heather Redman & The Reputation Return with ‘Promises’ Ahead of New Album
Heather Redman & The Reputation are back and have released the first single from a forthcoming full length called ‘Promises’! Its a cracking rocker that peels the paint of the old garage door and renders it in a neo-soul crucible to emerge as a truly signature sound that build’s on The Reputation’s self-titled debut! For this one, they spent the fall, winter, and early spring at Great Horned Audio, crafting a sound that pushes their garage and soul music roots into new territory - infectious r&b grooves, psych tinged rock, and heart-wrenching soul that sounds as classic as it does emergent. Stay tuned for more as the record release is announced, and for now, enjoy ‘Promises"‘ everywhere you stream or purchase music, including the Magnaphone Bandcamp store.

"Here Come Tonight" - John Dubuc's Guilty Pleasures
Magnaphone Records is pleased to announce a new single from John Dubuc’s Guilty Pleasures called ‘Here Come Tonight’ with an accompanying video Produced by Broken Tape LLC.
The band picks up work on a new album following Dubuc’s return from an injury. Here Come Tonight was co-produced by Tim Pritchard and John Dubuc’s Guilty Pleasures at Great Horned Audio in Dayton, OH and mastered by Adam Boose at Cauliflower Audio in Cleveland.
This single and the new material in general find John Dubuc’s Guilty Pleasures exploring a powerpop sensibility and straightforward, dry production style reminiscent of late 70s Gram Parker, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, The Clash, and Nick Lowe. It’s vocal centric with a live band feel that displays just what The Guilty Pleasures have blossomed into since forming to support Dubuc’s earlier singer-songwriter material.
“It might be the easiest song I’ve ever written. I challenged myself to write a song in 10-minutes, and when I introduced it to the band i, it just sort of took off and was immediately one of our strongest tunes” muses Dubuc. While no official date is set, a full length record is well on the way. “I’m not sure why we’ve waiting so long to release music. Sometimes I can drag my feet and I needed a wake up call. The band kind of provided that and we decided it was time.”
