Manual Fail are one of the fastest-growing pop- punk bands emerging from South Wales, bringing high energy and chaos to the local scene! They are proudly inspired by the iconic bands Blink-182 and Green Day and having a few covers in their set is a non-negotiable!

The band consists of Lucas Law jumping around the stage on guitar, Travis Hanbury singing whilst on bass and loan Brooks smashing the drums behind the chaos!

Manual Fail have already made their mark in the Welsh music scene by playing in venues such as Fuel Rock Club, Clwb Ifor Bach, and The Bunkhouse! They are often recognised as an upcoming band in the scene and shift between support slots to headlining their own gigs, bringing more and more energy to each gig!!! They also have built a strong, growing fanbase, having crowds scream the lyrics to their debut single, Whisper!

Manual Fails new song 'So Much Fun' is high energy, engaging, and impossible to stop listening to. You can see their influences soaring through their music with loud guitars and incredible vocals. If you like Blink 182, Green Day or Paramore then this one is 100% for you. Lyrics about nostalgia, fear and anxiety create an atmosphere of relatability. Lyrics like: "We used to be so much fun, I miss getting drunk" really highlight the teenage experience. The guitars absolutely create the music, and you can really see the revival of pop-punk through Manual Fail here. Check out Manual Fail's 'So Much Fun on the 15th of May. It's not one to be missed... - Cerys Warren
