Managra- Modern Day Rememberance


Managra was an early 90s band from the MI scene that was pretty much forgotten except for a handful of bands (Ordination of Aaron, Broken Hearts are Blue). It's some fucked up combination of post-hardcore and 90s emotional hardcore, and it totally brings the awesome, awesome pain.

Spazzy instruments n' stuff, yo.

they were actually from waukesha, WI, right outside of milwaukee. i moved to wisconsin from virginia when i was 19, and this band is 90% of the reason why. billy zientra (vocals) and shane hochstetler (drums) formed two more bands following managra: tintoretto and hero of 100 fights(billy actually joined after hero had released their first full length, & the only releases he recorded with them on were 'the remote, the cold' ep and 'four way stop' comp, which also features four otherwise unreleased songs by both managra and tintoretto). all these bands are worth checking out.
there's some amazing music there. but damn it's cold.
