When we got our first taste of The Magic City , last year with provocative debut single “Roadrunner Vs. Your Mother” we were instantly captivated with the brilliant British Invasion vibe .

 “A Series of Chemicals” brings it back home, drawing on several generations of American punk and power-pop. And like fellow Boston heroes The Cars, The Magic City now reveals itself as a band with more than one frontman, allowing bassist and producer Mike Quinn to take the mic and drive home the vocal charge.

“We have been working to develop an exciting and diverse catalog of songs that we hope will inspire repeated listens,” says Quinn. “We want to be your favorite band.”

With a heartfelt flair and power-pop punch, “A Series of Chemicals” not only expands the sonic palette of The Magic City, but also its rich storylines and gravitational world-building. The band first formed in early 2022, just as the pandemic haze began to lift, with Quinn rounded out by a trio of longtime collaborators in guitarist Adam Anderson, guitarist and vocalist David Jackel, and drummer Ken Marcou. But where “Roadrunner Vs. Your Mother” zeroed in on the human element of relationships, family, and getting older; this new single delves deeper into our shared chemistry – and how it shapes our behavior with others. 

There is this magical jolt at the beginning of “A Series Of Chemicals “ from The Magic City that feels like what happens when the scientist flips the switch on the Bunsen Burner it is musical perfection.

“I am not a scientist, but I am fascinated by science,” Quinn says. “The disciplines of chemistry and biology, and how they differ and overlap with each other is interesting to me. This song explores the idea that we make our decisions not because of free will, but in the various biological and chemical reactions going on in our brains and bodies… the billions of bacteria in concert with and/or at odds with the hormones we produce and the drugs we ingest. Is it our fault when we make bad decisions? Or is it due to bacterial behavior in our gut or an imbalance of chemicals in our heads? The protagonist in this song blames the chemicals while also praising them.”

Melodically pleasing with the kind of vocals that could stop traffic . The Magic City has definitely found the secret ingredient to making unforgettable music…. we can’t for more.
