First forming in 1989 under the name Homemade Sister, the group is primarily composed of singer/songwriter Linda Hopper and guitarist/songwriter Ruthie Morris. The Homemade Sister line-up of the band only recorded a demo tape and the single "Rip the Wreck"/"Merry". Magnapop first achieved fame in the European festival circuit and had their biggest commercial success in the mid-1990s with the minor hits "Slowly, Slowly" and "Open the Door" from the albums Hot Boxing and Rubbing Doesn't Help, respectively.
