Ultramagg were a band from Texas, active from 1996 (they were previously known as Pull My Finger) to maybe around 2005; they broke up after their second album, but I don't know exactly when. On their first two releases, their sound was emo pop reminiscent of The Promise Ring or M.I.J., very 90s in style. On their last release, they morphed into a much slicker, bubblegum pop punk\indie rock that I would call somewhat Weezer-esque. It's this last album that is the only thing available on streaming. The first album and EP are much harder to come by, hence this post.
The band's first release was a self-titled album in 1997, not too long after ditching their original name and garage punk sound for emo pop. In 1999 they released an EP, Summer's Not Over, and contributed a track to The Emo Diaries Chapter Three. A full five years later, they released their second album, Script&Production, in 2004, which showcases a change in direction that ended up being a dead end, as the band would break up at some point after.
