1-4-5 signs The Manges
From 145Records.com:
We are very excited to announce the addition of The Manges, Italy's favorite pop-punk sons, to our label. They are revered in Italy and Europe and have a built a very strong following here in the U.S., as well. Screeching Weasel covered one of their songs, "I Will Always Do" and they've toured and done a split with the Queers (and will be touring with them again next month). The Manges really stand out from the endless stream of generic pop-punk bands. They have their own brand of infectious catchy punk laced with a darker edge, and we're proud to welcome them to our label. We'll be releasing a new edition of their well-loved (and out of print, until now) anthology, "Rocket to You." This new version will contain tracks that weren't on the original "Rocket to You," and the whole CD has been re-mastered by Mass Giorgini at Sonic Iguana."
