THE MAN

As heard on BBC comedy drama 'Freezing'!

About Me

Three musicians met through a series of events and bonded over their love of harmony vocals and 70's pop. A few years and home recordings later they had material enough for an album. Japan's Philter records got there first and relased "A space waltz" in December 2005. THE MAN have had a fair amount of airplay in their home country Sweden with songs "Mothership" and "Summer dies". The song "Chant it like a mantra" is theme song for BBC comedy drama "Freezing" in early 2008. THE MAN are recording new material. Stay tuned...
