2 years in the making, The Manic Shine are a London-based quartet that intertwine Blues, Rock and Electro elements into a hard hitting, electric-eclectic concoction. T.M.S have recently recorded a Self Titled 3 Track EP at The Animal Farm London, which was mastered by Andy Jackson (Grammy award-winning producer of Pink Floyd) and recent shows include packed out headline slots at legendary venues such as Cargo, The Camden Barfly and Cavern Club. Their first single 'Pretend' was released on iTunes and many more online stores around the world as of 1st of November 2010 and subsequently the band has been played on over 20 radio stations, including BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio.co.uk and Off The Chart FM. Their first music video for 'Pretend' with BAFTA-Nominated Director Luke Snellin is due out in early March. With their debut release 'Blindsider' being finalised and following rave reviews from every publication they are featured in, the band is rapidly gaining an avid following for their energetic live performances around the UK and with sights firmly set on conquering the UK scene, the band bid you welcome to the new-school feel with an old-school vibe. Welcome to Rock with roots as deep as they go and branches high as the sky.
Welcome to The Manic Shine.
