The Magnetic Monsters
Wrong Side of Town
Album, released October 11th 2025
There seems to be something stirring in the North East of England. Fast becoming a formidable location for up-and-coming UK Horror Punk bands (with both Hellbound Heist and Haddonwood also from the region), there's clearly something horrific blowing up to the area from the gothic paradise of Whitby, as here comes The Magnetic Monsters with a debut album to welcome in the spookiest of months. The Washington-based duo (Conor Dutson and Alexandra Duston-Mitchell) deliver 11 tracks of straight up Horror Punk with clear inspiration from the masters of the genre, whilst not being afraid of putting their own spin on things. I'd been following the band on social media for a while, eagerly awaiting this release - so how did it turn out?
