It happened in the quiet burbs of Long Island, the land of Emo and Power-Pop. A place where the sounds of Hard Alternative rock echo the satellite radio dials across the Island, but considerably do not resonate within the halls of the local L.I. music scene as mainstream. It is recently that original music has made the BIG resurgence on Long Island and Mansrea wants to be the band that will inject a brand of aggressively melodic metal to the already musically diversified landscape.Music is nurtured by creativity, creativity is inspired by emotion, and expression is about having something to say and the freedom in which to do it, says Pete. This is and will always be our belief. Mansrea blends together bludgeoning sonic guitars, pounding, punchy bass and thunderous drums to create a style of rhythmic, bottom heavy riffs underneath their dark vocal textured melodies. Their dark but melodic sound reflects, exposes, and exploits how they view the world, society, relationships, and the imperfections or prejudices that surround their everyday lives.Music is really the only true universal language and we feel that there is something for everyone in our music. We like to write about things that everybody can somehow relate to, states Pete. Certainly, if there is one thing that the band can relate to, it would be the long road ahead of them. Dedication and commitment is the flavor of day. This is the way the group conducts itself. They have no problem building a fan base one by one. It doesnt matter whether we play to five people or five hundred people. Its the same level of energy that we execute with. Its all about going all out and giving the fans what they come to see, a high-octane performance. If were doing our thing and feeling the music, wed like to think that the crowd will feed off of that, replies Jonathan.They are hoping that perseverance will pay off with an opportunity to create music that matters to them, while finding the mass audience they know are waiting for them all along. This will be an effort that will test the groups belief in themselves and their music to the limits.
