"Young Dayton, Ohio, rock and roll trio Manray has as much in common with Buddy Holly or Captain Beefheart as it does with more current rock noiseniks like Ty Segall, Black Lips and Thee Oh Sees. Simply, it’s not afraid to innovate, even while holding itself to time-tested rock standards. With this modus operandi driving the band, it’s already released a ferocious self-titled LP, which was recorded a month after forming in early 2014 with Shaun O’Shaughnessy at FM Studios in Dayton. And there are no visible signs of the band losing momentum in the near future." - Tim Anderl/Dayton City Paper "A Dayton three-piece that toes the line of retro rock with a sneer and a snarl, Manray blends all of the intensity of garage punk with the accessibility of American Bandstand. Catch them most weekends playing around the city; Joey Beach's ragged howl, Alec Snead's rockabilly melodies and Matt Carey's breakneck drumming are best served live." - Vivienne Machi/Dayton.com Hi, we're Manray - a nice band.
