Super Group? A term too often applied to bands that don’t fully live up to the expectations that such descriptions might suggest. Not so with Manraze, a genuine super group comprising of Def Leppard’s Phil Collen on lead guitar and vocals, his former band-mate in NWOBHM-era glam rockers Girl, bassist Simon Laffy, and legendary Sex Pistols drummer, Paul Cook.
After selling millions of albums and singles between them, 2004 found the three Londoners joining forces to form Manraze, a modern rudeboy mixture of punk, rock and reggae. The band released the limited edition EP 'Skin Crawl' in 2005, and issued their debut album ‘SURREAL’ (CD1) in 2008 via VH1 Classic Records.
‘SURREAL’ was released in the US and the UK to rave critical reviews, comparing the band to The Police, Foo Fighters and The Clash. On a roll, in August 2011, Manraze released their second album, the aptly titled ‘PUNKFUNKROOTSROCK’ (CD2), named after a quip from Paul Cook when describing the band’s eclectic sound. The second album paid homage to their many musical influences throughout the years, and was unleashed amid high expectations that it aptly rose to.
A diabolically clever cover of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Fire’ is among a catchy and eclectic set of tunes, instant classics that permeate the album. The 12 tracks highlighted Manraze’s re-emergence into the rock/dub/soul music scene as three powerful musicians who possess the energetic prowess, aggressive live genius, and the wide ranging diversity of prototype artists like Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, U2, Nirvana, Sex Pistols, Def Leppard, and many others who have left their indelible marks on musical history.
This collection of complete recordings is fleshed out with live recordings, acoustic sets, instrumentals and various rarities. It also features new liner notes from Classic Rock journalist and Prog magazine editor, Jerry Ewing based on recent interviews with the band.
