Murray Thomas Attaway[1] (born November 30, 1957) is an American musician, best known as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the Marietta, Georgia alternative jangle pop rock band Guadalcanal Diary. After the band's breakup, Attaway recorded one solo album, titled In Thrall, which was released by DGC Records in 1993, produced by Tony Berg.[2] An alternate version of the track "Allegory" from In Thrall was included on DGC Rarities, Vol. 1. In 2025, after a thirty year hiatus, Attaway released his second album [Tense Music Plays...].
As a film composer, Attaway has written music for a number of independent films as well as having songs placed in numerous films and television shows.
Attaway was born in Atlanta, Georgia and attended Marietta High School.[citation needed]
In 2019, Attaway created the satirical "Dazzle Dudes" podcast which tells the story of a fictional group of inept young males who attempt to start a glam rock band in central Georgia in the 1970s. The show is written, performed and produced by Attaway.
In 2025, Attaway completed his first new album in over thirty years, [Tense Music Plays...]. All songs were performed by Attaway, with guest appearances by drummer and bassist Robert Schmid (The Swimming Pool Q's) and violinist Ana Balka. The album was recorded by Attaway, mixed by Mark Williams, and mastered by Dave Harris for release in May 2025.
