It’s a pretty safe bet. Ask any fan of ramonescore/pop punk about the best European bands and The Manges will pop up sooner or later. Take a quick dive in their discography and you’ll wonder what’s left to prove for The Manges. It’s just packed with hits and quality records and singles. The Manges have made their point, proven their worth, built their fan base, so why bother recording new material if you could just tour your old stuff every now and then, knowing the fans will show up and sing along.
Apparently (and fortunately!), for The Manges this poses no dilemma at all. They sound extremely inspired on their new record. It’s hit after hit after hit. I see no reason to skip any of the songs – 11 originals and a fun cover of The Fleshtones’ I’m Not A Sissy. On Book Of Hate For Good People, The Manges combine experience and skill with youthful punk energy with us listeners as the main beneficiaries. Out now through Striped Music (blue vinyl) and Hey Suburbia (yellow vinyl)!
