A fascination with the extremes of human nature combined with a common hunger to create a unique 21st Century rock & roll sound kickstarted Cassady Maddox, Dereck Cannon and Nikki Ponymeadow into action in the mid 2000's, when the three singer/songwriters decided to pool their collective interests and hang-ups - and became The Mansons.
The Mansons are currently producing their own album, with producers Kramer (Bridezilla, Leader Cheetah), and Andrew Beck (Modular Lounge, Josh Abrahams/Amiel, The Mansons' "Blood Love and Rhetoric" EP) on board to mix. The new record notably features a song-writing collaboration between Maddox and Ratcat's Simon Day, and they sing frenzied, alt-country duet "This Day Forward" together. Maintaining the rock'n'roll spirit of their early recordings, The Mansons have evolved their sound to incorporate elements of the electro world on "Maniac Mansion", The Kills-inspired "Cannibal Magnetism" and "With Love, From Outta Space", while the swinging time signatures of "Revelations" and "Treats or The Cardinal" show the band embracing an even more epic sound and style.
An explosive mix of classic melody and harmony, futuristic guitars and a monstrous rhythm section, the new material is at once catchy and cathartic, and is due for release in early 2010. Stay tuned for digital single releases preceding the album launch.
The Mansons look forward to broadcasting to their audience via radio, internet, television and intergalactic transmission.
