MANCIE “Only The Wanted”

Mark's Notes:

The title track, in the Soundcloud player above, reminds me a little of Blondie's disco era recordings. At least, that's the vibe I was going for when we recorded. The hi hat ideas are directly inspired by Clem Burke.

Oh yeah, and I took that photo too.

VICE Magazine named MANCIE one of "Brooklyn's Best Unknown Bands" after hearing this album: " Every musical movement needs an anthem, and Mancie may have delivered the “House of Jealous Lovers” of 2012 with “Hey Brooklyn!” Blending a Courtney Love swagger with a sexy splash of Peaches, Mancie could just be the soundtrack to your next bad decision. “Hey Brooklyn!” is an ode to Williamsburg, touching on everything from the tattooed hipster boys to Union Pool. It drips with sugary sleaze and is the perfect road map to a wild night off the L train. Thanks Mancie!

The music blog "Now I've Heard Everything" named it one of the best albums of 2012: "Mancie – Only the Wanted: This Brooklyn based garage rock band self released this EP early this summer. It features the insistent vocals of front woman Andrea Montgomery, smart songwriting (and cover choices) and lots of fuzz and reverb. In other words, 100% of your recommended daily allowance of pure unadulterated rock n roll. There’s even one song that Borough President Marty Markowitz should consider declaring the national anthem of BK. Of course, it’s titled Hey, Brooklyn."
