Those Manic Seas

Those Manic Seas is a 'five' piece band that attempts to push the boundaries of what a rock band should be. The band hails from Richmond, VA and combines elements of post-rock and shoegaze in order to create unique songs that leave the entire audience dancing.

"There are a plethora of factors that go into making a band successful, but when you really start the discussion of what makes a band prosper, you'll find yourself circling around three tangible attributes associated with a truly great band. The first is obviously pure musical talent, followed closely by true uniqueness that sets them apart from the pack. The final, and oftentimes most overlooked, attribute is a tough work ethic, driving the band no matter what happens. Plenty of Richmond bands have these qualities in varying amounts, but no band currently exemplifies all three of them more than Those Manic Seas.

Their indeed-unique lead singer, Kilroy--a towering mannequin delivering his vocals from the screen of a television that sits atop his shoulders--has become the element for which they're best known." - Doug Nunnally/RVA MAG '14
