]]> The Magnolias “For Rent” 1988. Twin/Tone Records. Midwest punky power pop. For Rent is the Minneapolis band’s second release. High energy with buzzed-out guitars and scratchy yet enthusiastic vocals, For Rent is super-catchy; more so in my opinion than their Minneapolis contemporaries Soul Asylum and The Replacements (sorry!). There’s a high probability that The Magnolias played some show or other that I went back in the 80’s in the Fox Valley area; I do know they played with Dead Kennedys in ’85 (a show I was not at) at The Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay. My top picks on For Rent include the rockers “Glory Hop,” “Down & Out” (excellent shredding solo on this one), the snotty “Halfway Down the Road” and the ass-shaking “Bring it Back.”  The Magnolias do occasionally slow down, like on the jangly “Gangs In My Town” though the twanged jangle sound on the mid-tempo “A Little More” veers a bit too country for my taste.
