The Maguas are a Scranton favorite – this NEPA native 5-piece anthem emo rock band, consisting of Erik Miller (Vocals), Matthew Jenkins (Lead Guitar), Daulton Rissinger (Rhythm Guitar), Luke Prusinski (Bass), and Brandon Ossont (Drums), found its roots in the Electric City and hit the ground running ever since its inception in 2018. “‘Seaglass and Springsteen’ evokes the wistful spirit of summer love—from the first passionate kiss to the woeful goodbye. Despite being stuck in a daydream, the dwindling summer heat quickly snaps our characters back to reality, as they are left to hopelessly face summer’s end. ‘Seaglass and Springsteen’ is a summer anthem that will fill your heart with nostalgia, leaving you desperately wondering about what could have been.- The Maguas |
