Magnatech is a solo project from John Verhoef that jumped out mid-pandemic with a steady stream of releases that now totals seven LPs five years on. Each release saw noticeable tweaks and tips learned along the way until he'd worked out a pretty signature sound. Perhaps in fear of painting himself into a corner, for 312 Magnatech Fans Can't Be Wrong, there's a bit of a reset on that sound, pulling the plug from the compressor in the signal chain, for a less in-your-face sound overall but perhaps a more honest and detailed guitar.

One of the coolest things about the Surfguitar101 Festival is the burst of new releases occurring in advance of a band's appearance.
The Counterfeit is a 12-piece Spaghetti Western band out of Melbourne, Australia. While they frequently play different arrangements than the original film scores, their "counterfeit" versions are extremely convincingly mimicing the orignial Spaghetti Western composers, and their off-the-beaten-path song choices had me itching to learn more. So I had a virtual sit-down with Harley Stewart, guitarist and music director for the group, and learned about their detailed plan to bring a mostly forgotten musical genre back to life.
