This tape has been floating around for awhile now and just a few days ago this band released their debut 7". I have yet to pick up the latter but i was able to find a copy of the cs floating around in a random distro. Members of The Pedestrians, Chronic Seizure, and Civic Progress come together and record this stripped down assault that sounds like it was recorded in a sweaty basement. Its hard for me to pin point all the influences i hear coming from these songs, the tape in general has a Discharge feeling to it and then other times it reminds me of the recently deceased Caustic Christ. There are some other influences in there but i feel that its always hard to pinpoint a band as good as this. Whether you compare Manipulation to this or that you still get a handful of well thought out songs that all pack a punch.
This tape is still out there and im sure if you dig a bit you can find a copy, their debut 7" is available from FASHIONABLE IDIOTS RECORDS. Manipulation is on the move and i have a feeling this band will be very busy this year.
7" is good
