Biography
1)Alternative/experimental rock band from California, USA
2)Hardcore/psycore DJ & producer from Winterswijk, Netherlands
3) hardcore punk from Atlanta.
1)Ryan Green - drums
Paul Gross - vocals/keyboards
Zane Smythe - guitars/keyboards
Nate Perry - bass/backup vocals
Believe it or not, Manic didn’t want to get signed to Suretone, the new label of ex-Geffen president Jordan Schur. Not because they had something against them but they didn’t want their creativity stifled by a corporation. This band, who crafts lush, layered pop rock, wanted to do things on their terms and to be the masters of their own destiny.
“We’re believers in the idea that the only way you can grow as a band is to play shows and work your ass off, as opposed to trying to write a hit single,” explains guitarist/keyboardist Zane Smythe. “We want to make a good record that we like, not radio singles. And if things don’t work out, we can at least have made a record we are proud of.” Spoken like a true artisan that isn’t interested in the politics and culture of the music business machine. Smythe finishes his thought, saying, “What we try to do is make a quality album, as opposed to a product that will appeal to a bunch of people. We know that the people we do appeal to will be into it on a deep level.” Clearly, Manic know what they want, in terms of their business and their art, and they’ve found a way to balance the two.
“We had no inclination to sign with a major label,” says Smythe. “We recorded a demo that was essentially the Floorboards EP.
