about

"With a genre-bashing sound, Manalishi throw fireballs of sound towards the audience, searing the noisy, in-your-face music into their consciousness...The effect is of a short, sharp shock; a musical stake hammered through the ear directly into the brain" - Louder Than War, 2019

Recorded and produced by Ding Archer at 6dB Studios in their hometown of Manchester, ‘Zipper Mouth’ is a furiously, fast-paced, heavy punk song that cracks skulls from the very first second.

With heavily distorted guitars looping through an unusual, disorientating chord progression, the song keeps the bands signature sound of gritty instruments and a heavy use of alternating dynamics.

The vocals spit and snarl lyrics of dark, graphic imagery based around the kind of person who will never shut their mouth, and always has something to say about everything, such as a politician; calling for them to have their mouths forced violently shut with a zip, birthing the track title.

lyrics

Please learn to keep it closed
Your motor mouth is so
Intense you overload
It needs to be zipped closed

When did you get so mad
Were you dropped on your head
Need stitches in your tongue
If only all along

When did you get so mad
Were you dropped on your head
Need stitches in your tongue
If only all along

Shut your mouth zipper mouth
Shut your mouth zipper mouth
Shut your mouth zipper mouth
Shut your mouth zipper mouth

about

Manalishi Manchester, UK

Manalishi are a guttural plethora of raw energy, F*** you attitude, and spontaneity.
With a crunching fusion of noisy, punk rock; and a disillusion for the conventional, they merge captivating melodies with a rib-punching wall of sound and melancholic chords, complete with unpolished, squealing guitars, and the disgusting scars to prove it.
