Welcome to Man/Miracle!

There's a new horse in the stable, folks. Oakland's Man/Miracle will be releasing their latest 7" digitally through GRR in mid-February. Additionally, they're hard at work on a new EP so expect some sort of new vinyl release in the not-so-distant future. Here's some of the nice things that have been said about these guys to date.

"With a raucous intro that could be mistaken for a high school pre-game hype up (in a dream world where kids have spare tambourines, yes), Bay-area based Man/Miracle's "Pushing and Shoving" is a bouncy venture into Spencer Krugonics." - Pitchfork

"On their self-titled EP, the band demonstrates a unique sensibility, evoking memories of classic indie-pop bands like The Smiths while still sounding fresh and always danceworthy. That latter trait likely helps in what we've heard are some excellent live shows." - The Bay Bridged

We're really excited to see what comes next for this excellent group. You can still buy the awesome 7" on white vinyl, as well as some other gear, at their online shop
