Get Real! Mansic is a band that plays for the art of punkrock and punkrock is attitude. It's a wroar of anger, of revolution, a howl for change!!! Most of the members in Mansic have a history in the anarchy movement and the belief that every human can be free, thinking creatures are still lurking in our minds.

Biography Mansic started at the end 1999 as [sic] in a garage in a small town called Norrtälje just outside Stockholm. The brothers Nizze and Micke decided to do something with their wasted spare time. The band released their demo, the self financed, 8 track CD “Waking Up” and in 2001 they went on a Poland tour before they knew what hit them. All the members weren’t into it enough so after a short trip to Holland and a couple of gigs Nizze made some rearrangements and changed the name to Mansic. In the beginning Mansic had problems finding members suited for the mix between punk and folkmusic. Marcas followed Nizze from an old project of his called Nepente, and he recommended Clabbe from the folkmusic band De Osaligas Kapell for the base. Mansic was started and the hunt for a drummer started. In 2002 Mansic went on a European tour. They called in Janne on the drums and Nizze played one of the guitars. Janne made a good job behind the drums but he never became close enough to the band. After the tour they tried out Emil for drums. He recorded the CD-R release “Punkrock Paperdoll”. Also in the band at the moment was Pontus, whose influences leaned more toward death metal. After an Open Air festival in Thalheim, Germany, Emil got kicked from the band and Pontus friend Lalle was called in. It worked for a while but the metal sound of the band was too distinct. So Pontus and Lalle resigned. Nizze was checking his memory and now the final step toward Mansic today was done; at first Clabbe had to change his instrument from base to guitar. Micke from old [sic] was asked to join and so even Jocke from Nepente. After just a few rehearsals everything was set. They recorded the CD “Everyday is a Tragedy”, released on the very small Swedish DIY label Bug Records and went out on the European Punkrock Show 2003 tour just as it was released. It was only a month between the start of the recording and the beginning of the tour. Many of the songs were written just a couple of weeks before the studio session. In august 2003 Mansic were rewarded "Band of the month" from the dutch radio show Punkhour. /Talk |
