Los Angeles’ The Manic Standstills, purveyors of punkified alt-rock (plus a bunch of other stuff) have released the first single from their upcoming, debut LP.
“Reasons Why” comes off of Moving. If you want more information than that, the best I can give you is that it’ll be out later this year via Wiretap Records and Double Helix Records. The when is a just “later this year.”
The band is the project of Adam Bones (Save Ferris, Richie Ramone, and more). As you can see in the video, he’s… uhhh… gathering a collection of likeminded musicians for to fill in along the way. OK, in reality, this track features Aixa Vilar and Michelle Rangel (Go Betty Go), and Kevin Preston (Prima Donna). Other musicians contributing to the album include The Dollyrots, and members of Billy Liar, The Aquabats, and more.
For now you can find “Reasons Why” streaming options at this link page. TGEFM will keep you up-to-date on more news on Moving when it gets here.
