MURRAY ATTAWAY of GUADALCANAL DIARY
Description
Murray Attaway, the distinctive voice behind Guadalcanal Diary, helped shape the American alternative rock landscape of the 1980s. The band blended Southern storytelling with punchy jangle-pop, earning critical acclaim for both its bold sonic experimentation and Attaway's literate songwriting.
Though the group never reached the heights of some of its Athens, Georgia, contemporaries, the band's influence quietly rippled across college radio and beyond.
Murray recently joined us in Thunderlove Studio to discuss the band's origins, his creative process, and the enduring resonance of Guadalcanal Diary’s music.
More importantly, we chatted about his first solo album in over thirty years, Tense Music Plays, which is out on May 9th.
This is our conversation with Murray Attaway.
