“A Song From Under the Floorboards”, Magazine

This way: A Song From Under the Floorboards

Magazine were an English rock band formed in 1977 in Manchester in England by singer Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch. After leaving the punk group Buzzcocks in early 1977, Devoto decided to create a more progressive and less "traditional" rock band. The original lineup of Magazine was composed by Devoto, McGeoch, Barry Adamson on bass, Dave Formula on Keyboards and Martin Jackson on drums. Their debut album Real Life (1978) was critically acclaimed and was one of the first post-punk albums. After releasing two other albums Secondhand Daylight and The Correct Use of Soap, McGeoch left the band in 1980 to join Siouxsie and the Banshees. Magazine released another studio album and disbanded in 1981.

They reunited in 2009 for a UK tour, with almost all the original members, with the exception of McGeoch who died in 2004; he was replaced by Noko. Magazine released an album of new material, No Thyself, in October 2011, followed by a short UK tour.
