Anyone heard them before? Let's get it right out of the way: The band name is horrible.
With that said, they seem to be really good. Phil sings in the band, and anyone who has heard Def Leppard's b-sides has probably heard him on a few. He's got a really good voice, very solid rock sound, much like a Rod Stewart, I'd say. Anyway, Man-Raze also features Paul Cook (Sex Pistols) and Simon Laffy (Girl). It sounds a bit too easy to say, but Man-Raze (what I've heard so far) really sound like a mix of Def Leppard (rock), Girl (glam) and Sex Pistols (punk/ska) with some modern rock thrown in.
Last year they released a single for the song "Skin Crawl." The single featured the title track, another called "You're So Wrong," a remix of the title track, and an odd "instrumental dub" of a song called "Running Me Up," which sounded like a reggae song. That song confuses me, and it's supposed to be on the album. Weird. Haha. "Skin Crawl" and "You're So Wrong" are really good, though (links below).
The band's debut, Surreal, is coming out in September. I'm looking forward to it. They also just released some new sample clips:
SKIN CRAWL *
TURN IT UP *
YOU'RE SO WRONG *
CONNECTED TO YOUSHADOW MANAnd then...
RUNNIN' ME UP (INSTRUMENTAL DUB) *
* Full songs. The rest are clips.
