"Tin Knocker" is a story about choices; choices that can find you in the worst throes of a suspended adolescence and force you to face impending adulthood. With a band that found a neatly defined success in the small, tight-knit LA punk family, both Mike Magrann and CH3’s trajectory should have raced past cramped, filthy vans and into catered dressing rooms and five-album deals. It was the ‘80s, after all. Excess was more common than oxygen and they were throwing deals at bands––the bigger the hair, the bigger the numbers. Magrann’s follow-up to the critically acclaimed "Miles Per Gallon" sees both the band and the narrator at a crossroads. The hardcore heyday has passed, the future is uncertain, responsibility calls, and the definition of “success” keeps changing. Sometimes the vision isn’t as malleable as the metal. Life is all about reconciling: whether it is an axis or a band. Welcome to the Aqua Net years.

CH3's Mike Magrann returns with the follow-up to his critically acclaimed novel, "Miles Per Gallon" with the next installment in the story - a tale of a band's efforts to redefine itself in order to achieve that holy grail of rock dreams - a deal with a major. How far will Mike and the band go to achieve "success"? Mike's story of the big-hair years is both very funny and incredibly insightful. It provides an intimate look inside the sleazy politics of the 1980s' LA music biz. "Tin Knocker" is full of beautiful writing that is grounded by Magrann's earthy sense of humor and self-deprecation. Out this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to a weekend of shows with our pals @sloppysecondsin !@covertbooking @thc1502
