Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanising shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times.
Their latest I Got Heaven, is the band’s most fully realised LP yet. Over 10 ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.
In May, they hit Germany again and stop off at Columbia Theater in Berlin for show. Secure your ticket HERE (ticket sales start on 7 February, 10:00)!
