American post-hardcore band noted for the albums Umber and Ben Hur.

DeBaser reviews describe Umber (1989, noted as released on the Communion label) as an epochal, transitional post-hardcore album and praise Ben Hur as a compact, influential record. Reviews mention Sooyoung Park and reference connections to math-rock, noise rock and early grunge.

DeBaser hosts two appreciative reviews that frame Bitch Magnet as a key late-80s post-hardcore act. Umber (1989) is described as an epochal, transitional album; Ben Hur is praised as a compact, influential record. Both reviews emphasize links to math-rock, noise and early grunge.

For:Fans of post-hardcore, math rock, noise rock and late-'80s indie.

 "Umber", on par with Talk Talk's "Spirit Of Eden", is perhaps the record that best represented the transitional phase between two decades.
