Dowd (Munich Records), Jennifer Marks (Bardic Records),
Rachael Sage (MPress Records), and 80s teen pop icon Tiffany
With her new EP, Rocktease, Maggie worked
hard to create a sound that represents the artist she is
now. “It’s a lot more ‘rawk’ than Lesson 1.5, which was a
studio project,” explains Maggie. “But I’d spent about
two-and-a-half years playing and touring with a full band
and I wanted this record to reflect that. It’s more organic,
less electronic than the first record. Often, when we played
live, people who’d only listened to Lesson 1.5 would be
surprised at how ‘rock’ our live show was. With Rocktease,
you get a more complete picture of what I’m really like. You
know, the rock chick!”
