Roland met Potesta in 2007 while working on various projects in Atlanta the two immediately made a connection both musically and as friends. The duo discovered they had similar tastes in music and decided to form the new band, Magnets and Ghosts, in 2010. After spending the latter half of that year and the next writing and recording, the band released their debut album, Mass, in November of 2011.
Influenced by bands inlcuding Radiohead, Doves , and Elbow, Magnets and Ghosts craft honest, inspiring rock anthems like “Like a Sunday” and the bluesy, Zeppelin-esque song “Light My Flame.” With Roland’s experience crafting memorable songs and Potesta’s knack for songwriting and production, it’s no surprise the duo’s debut has been well-received by listeners, with sales of over 5,000 copies sold to date.
