"Wacko Magneto" is the best album that no one knows about!

"I came across this band's song "Stop Counting" while watching a recent episode of MTV's "Daria." I was blown away by the haunting guitar riffs and the hint of Chrissy Hind in the Anne Preven's powerful voice (Anne--I can't be the only one who's said that).The entire album " Wacko Magneto" simply rocks. Ednaswap mixes 70's rock, 80's punk and 90's alternative to create a unique but familar sound that is hard-edged and gritty.Much to my joy and surprise, Ednaswap originally wrote and sang that Natalie Imbruglio hit, "Torn." Compared to the airy, soft-rock/pop version that Imbruglio did, Ednaswap's version is raw, honest and earnest. You have to hear this version--there is no comparison.I highly recommend this album."
It doesn't matter how you got here...

"Were you curious about those obscure references to the original writers of Natalie's "Torn"? Well, glad you could make it finally...there's more where that came from. And better. The raw power of Anne's vocals quite simply blew me away the first time I heard this album. Pick up the latest album, "Wonderland Park" also to get the full Ednaswap picture. You won't regret it."
Rock Classic. MUST HAVE

"These guys are famous for writing "Torn" (which Natalie Imbublia had a hit with), but "Torn" is just the tip of the iceberg. Ednaswap actually broke up, but the core of that band, Anne and Scott, formed a new band called Annetenna."
Early record by too-obscure L.A. band

"Ednaswap is gone but not forgotten. Their biggest brush with commercial success was when Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia covered "Torn", a song from this CD that also had a different recording of it on an earlier self-titled Ednaswap CD.Ednaswap's records feature clever songwriting with a pop/rock sensibility, powerful vocals by Anne Previn, and some very satisfying guitar work and production.Tired of moaning about the sorry state of music today? If more bands like Ednaswap got the exposure and promotion that they deserve(d), then we'd have no worries. Grab this CD if you can find it, and follow it up with their follow-up CD "Wonderland Park"."
