"Vancouver's premier hard-rock band" is on the road – again – and they’re more of a sonic tour de force than ever. With the winning addition of powerhouse drummer Jay Koenderman, this road-hardened quartet is earning a reputation as one of Canada’s most exciting rock ‘n’ roll bands.

After releasing two studio recordings – critically acclaimed debut Buried Love and recent EP Strange Disaster – The Manvils had a beer-flavoured taste of success in 2007. The band earned a starring role in the national Budweiser Guitar Maker commercial, and on the heels of their sudden popularity they hit the road with a vengeance. Manvil firepower smoked out New York, LA and Toronto three times this summer, and all points between. Stages shook, ears bled and crowds leapt to the sweet, stinging melody.

All that mileage has helped The Manvils to create that most elusive of rock phenomena: the buzz. The word is out about this band, and The Manvils have captured key slots with Stereophonics, They Might Be Giants, The Horrorpops, The Suicide Girls, Darediablo, The High Dials, and the Bellrays. One particularly memorable show saw The Manvils rock out with Anton Newcombe, frontman of Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Having risen to the top of the rock pile, The Manvils continue to sell out gig after gig with their unique blend of vintage blues and psychedelia, mixed with the bittersweet poetry of heartbreak.
