Blue Manic

Formed in Allston, MA, Blue Manic came onto the scene in summer 2015. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Max Grebe, guitarist/vocalist Mike Tate, bassist/vocalist Jared Greiff, and drummer Corey Downs, Blue Manic took a wide range of influences spanning metal, grunge, and blues to create a fuzzy, downtuned and psychedelic product that is not short on melodic harmonies.

2016 saw the independent release of the group's debut EP "V-32". Recorded at Galaxy Park Studios by Richard Marr, the 5-track EP showcased the attitude of a band that was thirsty for more. Just 2 years later, Blue Manic entered the studio to record what would become their first full-length release "Blue Manic" at Woolly Mammoth Sound with Dave Minehan (The Neighborhoods, Aerosmith, The Replacements).

In 2022, the group put out the "Paracosm" EP, which was followed up with "Empyros" and "Ataraxia", which were tracked at Sawmill Recordings by Jake Gardam. Their latest releases showcase a heavier and at times more progressive sound that harkens back to their influences such as Mastodon, Red Fang or King Buffalo.

"In listening, I’m reminded of Dillinger Escape Plan’s impossible-to-follow riffs and of Kyuss, the kings of desert rock. I could also hear the Bostonian in it, an attribute I adore." - Abbie Bateman, No Echo
