Black Box Welcomes Manic.

11/12 - Today we’re excited to announce the signing of East Nashville’s own Manic. The quartet fronted by the dynamic Nicholas Banos is at the forefront of Music City’s alternative resurgence. The band describes their sound as ‘melancholic pop’, experimenting with punk, emo, indie-folk and electronic themes surrounding nostalgic pop and rock composition.

A co-management effort between Black Box and the Nashville-based multi-genre music company The Core (Valley, Steven Lee Olsen), led by industry vet Chief Zaruk, Manic. pioneers a new wave of genre-bending music. Check out their first single “It Starts With This;” and the b-side “In The Shadow Of The Sun”, streaming now.
