From what I can tell, Maggat was a band from Germany that was active in the late 90's. Their output was pretty small, as I was only really able to find this 12" and a mini LP of the last songs they recorded, but the 12" is solid. This isn't groundbreaking stuff, just really good poppy midwest style emo. Musically it sort of reminds me of Tamiroff or The Promise Ring with a bit of a gruffer vocal delivery...well not so much gruffer, just less whiney. Acrobat is a definite jam, as is The Invention of the Typewriter. Sorry I don't have much else to say about this record, it's just an enjoyable listen and an interesting look at a German take on mid 90's emo.~AB
