Since the disbandment of UK doom legends Ohhms, guitarist (Daniel Sargent) and bassist (Chainy Rabbit) have joined forces and created an entirely new beast in the form of Man Band. The band have managed to meld a plethora of musical influences, so much so that they refer to themselves as genre fluid heavy music.

Thematically the record is a running commentary on different forms of masculinity and how it fits into modern society now, both the toxic and non-toxic sides of it. Lyrically they touch upon new love and sexual excitement, juxtaposed with songs about deep loss, sadness, anger and guilt.

Daniel Sargent (guitar) elaborates on lead single ‘Dane Valley’:

“Dane Valley is about Chainy being a skinny guy who got mugged for £50 in Dane Valley park, a notoriously rough part of Margate. He then decided to become super strong, muscle-covered and learned kick boxing, so that no one could ever mug him again.”
