Categorically, the band hassecured their place amongst like-minded icons such as BobSeger, CCR, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, but it's notmerely an aesthetic description. Magnolia backs it up with theirwork ethic. Amazingly, The Magnolia Electric Co. Will have beenon the road eight months by the end of 2005. This fact is mostapparent to the band members themselves having been awayfrom their homes and their loved ones for such extendedperiods of time. Hence the significance of the title track.

Mean Mistreater - Do Or Die / The US American band's 2nd album blends relentless riffs with powerful vocals. Classic heavy metal - nostalgic and fresh at the same time. / New York City's own return with it's darkest, heaviest offering to date!Hot on the heels of their debut album, MEAN MISTREATER return with their second full-length, Do or Die. The songwriting is largely unchanged on Do or Die - classic metal melded with hard rock, with foremost influences being Warlock, Chastain, and early W.A.S.P. - but MEAN MISTREATER's execution is off the charts here. Urgent, passionate, like street-walking cheetahs with hearts full of napalm.
