Motion StudiesWe never saw the connection, but now that it's arrived it makes sense that there's a thread between The Weeknd and Junior Boys. We have Motion Studies to thank for the enlightening line drawing work. Motion Studies is fronted by former Tempo No Tempo inertia-man Tyler McCauley, who spent the time since TNT ended playing with Grooms and Teen Witch. He's left Grooms and is joined by ex-members of Grooms, Night Manager, and Magic Bullets for his Motion Studies project. Motion Studies s...Impose Magazine: Bytes4 May 2012

Video: Magic Bullets – “What Took You So Lon ..With the release of the seven track EP Much Ado About, San Francisco indie pop five-piece Magic Bullets are now officially finished as a band (don’t act surprised — we’ve been mourning the break-up for quite some time now). They’ve left us with one more treat, though. in the form of a new music video [...]the bay bridged - San Francisco Bay Area Indie Music13 April 2012

Magic Bullets – Much Ado About EPBid adieu to Magic Bullets; the Much Ado About EP will be the San Francisco band’s last release, ever. But wipe away your tears, because it’s a fitting farewell, at least. The seven song EP is short but sweet, ending the band’s seven-year career as upbeat, brit-rock revivalists on a sort of high note. If [...]AudioCred12 April 2012

Magic Bullets – What Took You So Long?Just an old time sucker for a jangling chord and while the vocals on this one might not match it for swoonsomeness they do little to endanger the warm fuzzy feeling created by the gently tugged vibrating guitar appendage. Magic Bullets have been around for a bit, 2004 to be precise, but it looks like [...]Kevin Hugger6 April 2012

Magic Bullets - "Much Ado About" EPThe San Francisco-based band Magic Bullets are set to release their new EP Much Ado About today on Mon Amie Records. Sadly it will be their last as the band has decided to break up to pursue new musical directions after seven years together. The seven-song EP is a lasting testament to their emotion-packed 80's-inspired jangle-pop. "Unlearned" opens the album with the nostalgic sound of a cassette tape being put into a radio and follows with an upbeat and danceable track of reflection. "Time And Again" features tumbling drums and flickering guitars with an infectiously catchy chorus. Stand out ...Atlas and the Anchor3 April 2012

The Daily Choice: Terry Malts - I DoTerry Malts - I Do from Slumberland Records on Vimeo. As a former fan of the debunked Magic Bullets, it’s been difficult for me to give love to the very much adored Terry Malts. I hear their thrashy, melodic almost-punk, and it seems an ill-fitting soundtrack to the Morrisey-esque days of Magic Bullets. I of course [...]Sound On The Sound15 March 2012

Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psych ..At 14, Melissa Sances was overweight, acned, and socially awkward. Life at home with her brothers and single mother wasn’t easy.

Bands to Watch #230: Magic BulletsWords by Tom Mughal It sounds petty, but I’ve never been able to listen to the Smiths purely because of the fact I really dislike Morrissey‘s voice. This may be the reason why I’ve actually enjoyed Magic Bullets, a San Francisco-born indie pop band that has been dancing around commercial success for over 7 years now. The boys manage to emulate the best bits about the iconic Mancunian ‘80s band; their melodies are employed straight...

Magic Bullets - s/t (2010)Magic Bullets est un groupe d'indie pop américain, ils existent depuis plusieurs années (je crois que ce n'est pas leur premier album en fait) et ont également un autre groupe du nom de Terry Malts (deux singles sur Slumberland). Cet album sans titre est sorti en 2010 mais disponible en Europe que depuis 2011. Il est amusant de constater le nombre grandissant de formations américaines aux influences clairement anglo-saxonnes, Magic Bullets est l'une d'entre elles, mais c'est pas pour autant que l'on ne doit pas les écouter... Clairement ce groupe aime les Smiths et ...Requiem Pour Un Twister29 October 2011

The Daily Choice: Terry Malts - Something Ab ..I’ve been waiting to hear the new project from the folks behind Magic Bullets for a while now. Magic Bullets were a lanky sort of garage-lounge act and I’d heard that Terry Malts was the thrashy punk phoenix rising from those ashes. ”Something About You” certainly kicks their former incarnation down the stairs and in [...]Sound On The Sound12 October 2011
