Timely and prescient, MANSHEEN’s indictment of the times we live in on “Tru-Believer” highlight the absurdity of our election cycles world over. The proliferation of false prophets, our obsession with those who misdirect, cast upon lies upon lies, and exploit humanity’s most base instincts for profit and pain ascend to positions of power far more than they should be close to. The raggedly raw indie rock anthem is loaded with gritty riffs and murkily mixed vocals that give it this distinctively underground energy. It’s innately a very retro record, one that thrives on its rawness and rage towards the systems and people its pitting itself against.
Fervent and passionate in message and mood but melodic and quite pleasurable in tonality and energy, MANSHEEN deliver a form and brand of indie rock that’s quite intrinsically its own.
