Biography

RSS
Magnified was founded in San Francisco in 1997 by Heavy Into Jeff vocalist Chris Lehmann and ex-My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult drummer Adam Aaronson, with their style decidedly echoing Heavy Into Jeff's Replacements-esque post-grunge power pop. Their lineup was rounded out by guitarist Andy Shaw and bassist Mike Kelly, and the quartet eventually landed a deal with TVT. Released in 2000, their debut album, Stand in Traffic, was produced by ex-Consolidated drummer Philip Steir, who had also done remixing and programming for the likes of Bush, Live, and Chumbawamba. Accordingly, the album reflected a willingness to incorporate electronic elements into the band's primarily organic, grungy pop. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
