The Manatees - 'Naturally'
Southern UK-based supergroup The Manatees’ have just released their brand new single ‘Naturally’. It’s an anthemic new indie rock song with grand vocals and a chorus that is hard to ever get out of your head!
The band’s brand new single is an anthemic, gritty and infectiously energetic new track filled with hooks, fierce riffs and those memorable, sweet-like-honey vocals. It is a funk-inspired alternative pop rock track, with The Manatees’ trademark energy and chaos, ‘Naturally’ left me wanting more! The band sold out shows across the South of England and with their latest release they show how they achieved that. It is their grand and stadium-filling sound that brings their fans to the venues for a live show we’d love to experience at least once.
The band have created a sound a la early Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and Catfish and the Bottlemen without losing their own identity. ‘Naturally’ is a fiery track, standing out from others within its genre, due to their individuality and determination. The Manatees are an exciting new band and ‘Naturally’ is a thrilling new release. In March they will be heading out on a headline tour across the South, and if they’ll be following up from their previous successes this year is looking bright and shiny for The Manatees! They were hailed by 6Music DJ Chris Hawkins, supported by BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, BBC 6Music, Radio X’s John Kennedy, they were praised by online tastemakers and got featured on Sky Sports’ ‘Goals of the Week’ on Soccer AM and BT TV’s main channel music video playlist!

There are few shows more abrasive; loud, chaotic and brash than a Guilt Trip show. Their live pits are a tour-de-force of sheer brutality and mayhem, and the Manchester outfit translate that superbly well onto their new album that’s as hardworking as the city they come from.
