New Magnetic North is an American progressive/alternative rock band formed in 2007 in Dallas, Texas. The band consists of vocalist Tim Ziegler, guitarist/drummer Jacob Loftin, bassist Bob McCrary and guitarist Jeff Escude. With McCrary and Loftin enjoying art as a hobby, the band has consistently incorporated art into album and their live shows.

The song writing and direction of the band is a process that evolves from improvisation and a willingness to prevail through multi-dimensional levels of conditions. New Magnetic North consists of four musicians who come from a diverse history of experiences in both life and in music. Bob, Jacob, and Jeff worked together on instrumental music prior to New Magnetic North. Tim began to invest an interest after watching them perform in local venues under the names Etha and When Gravity Fails. Tim Ziegler later joined New Magnetic North in 2008 as the lead vocalist for the group.

While Jacob wrote and produced the tracks for their 2009 EP, the overall body of work would not be complete without the talent of Bob, Tim, and Jeff. As for the music, it is to reveal an honesty and integrity from within the artists who help bring it to life through their performances. Compared by some to the likes of Sigur Ros and Meshuggah simultaneously along with other diametrically opposed stereo pairings such as Dillinger/Tori Amos and Slayer/Dion Warwick.

The band established themselves in the Dallas music scene with their self titled 2009 EP release. They are currently working on their first studio album, "Perfect Piece Of Truth". Live performances can viewed on the band's myspace or on youtube.
