Mannequin Death Squad deliver ruthless new cut in super-grungy single, 'Everybody's Movin'

Naarm/Melbourne’s punk rock duo Mannequin Death Squad deliver an explosive new single in ‘Everybody’s Movin’ - an absolutely ruthless cut packed full of attitude, and ball-tearing guitars.

The new single was produced by the band themselves, with mixing duties by Brent Quirk, and mastered by Matt Gray (Violent Soho, The Veronicas).  Resonating with an undeniable force, ‘Everbody’s Movin’ is driven by grunge-infused guitar riffs and audacious vocals from lead singer Elly Vex. The melody embeds itself with a relentless hook, refusing to release its grip as their rebellious spirit continues to intensify with unwavering dynamism. As the bridge softens to allow a brief respite, the rallying lyrics assert an anthemic presence until Elly's concluding breath.

‘Everybody’s Movin’ is explosive anti-social sleaze-fuelled grunge-fried punk rock, barbed with fuzzed-out guitars, pounding beats, and attitude-driven vocals. Mannequin Death Squad provide the soundtrack to blurred nights soaked in hazy lights, beer and existentialism with this heaving new track. It’s a relentlessly fun gut punch that brings out the masochistic tendencies in the best of us.

 Mannequin Death Squad talk about the inspiration behind 'Everybody's Movin':

"'Everybody's Movin' is about one of those nights out when you just don't want to be there. The energy is raging, the music is shaking the floors. But deep down, it's as if you've wandered onto a set where you don't belong. The initial glamour of bright lights and attractive people has morphed into a bizarre world where everyone's trashed, the floor is on the ceiling, and the flies are all dead. Leaving you in a personal tug-of-war between social pressure and the strong desire to exit.”

In the live arena, the duo have recently supported Suicidal Tendencies across their sold-out Australian Tour and have shared the stage with acts such as Frenzal Rhomb, WAAX and SOFT PLAY (UK). They have also toured both nationally and internationally, headlining shows across the United Kingdom, Europe and India, including events such as Rebellion Festival (UK) and SXSW (AUS). 

Previous releases have been widely embraced by Spotify, triple j, triple j Unearthed and Australian community radio such as 2RRR, PBS FM, 4ZZZ, Radio Adelaide and 2XX FM.

Super-crunchy and insanely fun, ‘Everybody’s Movin’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
