MANGABROS are "ballardian psycho bluesmen" hailing from northern England. Elements of electronica and post-rock bruise hips on the dance floor with broken ballads, orchestral and avant-garde/noise. No rules. From an vast pool of musicians and artists, the dice chooses our destiny.

 Described as 'the bones of Burroughs and Rhinehart, ground up and snorted...". These are 'songs' but not as we know 'em.

I am Craig Manga, singer-songwriter, guitarist, sonic explorer. I scurry between genres, instruments, and narrative voices as the mood takes me. Some of this music is about yours truly, some about real people, mostly it is about fictional characters. Some of this music will end being material for the MANGABROS, some for VAMONOS P or 'Würmfolken', and some for 'spider_songs', and some will become none of these. Some of it is serious in intent, some of it funny and some of it is ironic, some of it is experimental and/or unsuccessful and some of it is not. Some of it is pretty, some ugly, some of it in that strange no-man's land in-between All of it is made with love and care and imagination, and that's all that matters.
