Animated and slime-slathered, The Manx have morphed over time from an acoustic folk-punk three piece into their current form – An explosive, bubble-fueled arcade-amped quintet featuring obscure instruments, cartoon styling, and their own wonky lexicon. The Manx are a surrealist, avant-garde punk act made up of full-time animators and an anchor salesman. 

Cynical and gritty, but somehow also whimsical as fuck, the lyrics spew forth with a post-hardcore urgency, and the band rages with an unmatched energy and completely unique aesthetic. Their new long-player, Malibu Slime (2019) was produced by Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Tweak Bird, Qui) and features cameos from friends Justin Roiland (Rick & Morty), Justin Pearson (The Locust), and Derek Mears (Friday the 13th). 

Malibu Slime encapsulates the art-punk world that is The Manx, complete with unparalleled riffage and a universe of spectacular characters. In addition to the band, its members have developed music for Nickelodeon Animation Studios, designed characters for Rick and Morty, shot series for Adult Swim and Comedy Central, and literally sold anchors. 

FFO: The Locust, GWAR, The Aquabats, MELVINS, Mr. Bungle, Melted Bodies, Man Man, Leftover Crack, Buckethead, Blackbird RAUM, Days N’ Daze, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Mischief Brew, Ramshackle Glory, The Pogues, Defiance OHIO, On The Water, etc.
