Biography

Emerging from Vienna’s thriving underground rock scene Manic Days have made a name for themselves as a fiery alternative rock act that relentlessly embodies the vibe of a lost generation. The band’s music and attitude encapsulate the feeling of being trapped between hope and despair, between love and lust and between angst and ecstasy. By combining nasty guitars with crushing drums, a thunderous bass and distinct raspy vocals, Manic Days unapologetically distil this essence of adolescent rebellion and resignation – just to top it off with a dose of urban schizophrenia. Their five-track debut record "Crash” captures the band’s well-known live energy and elevates it into new sonic spheres. A statement of never shutting up. A cry for help. A call to action. Pure life. Just louder. The band’s debut EP and their subsequently released new music were well received and enjoy radio airplay on national stations such as 88.6 and FM4 – both of which featured Manic Days for full length interviews. Having gained recognition for their music – not only in the local scene but also internationally – Manic Days’ new single “Wicked Game” (alongside its fast-paced music video) instantly became a favourite of fans and radio hosts alike. The song’s message of dealing with abusive and dysfunctional relationships resonates with the audience while the dancy, up-beat instrumental hook highlights the chaotic state of mind we all have to deal with.
