Exclaim! Magazine 2005
...Manville is that rarest of singer / songwriters, one with an ineffable star
quality and a refreshingly passionate approach to live performances.
ION Magazine 2006 THE MANVILS

The Nerve Magazine 2006 THE MANVILS.
...Girls were screaming, hands on face, giggling, jumping, jiggling, screaming,
wavering, dancing throwing panties on the stage. It was like the second
coming of Elvis or the Beatles. The guys were all staring, dumbfounded.
Mikey Manville pulled one of them dramatic, show-offy flailing arm guitar
strums; a girl in the front row faints. Three more take her place. The
whole band was in high form. Electric... The new messiah of rock n roll.
What charisma. What style. See those white, leather boots? Thats what Im
talkin about. The Second Coming.. I have never seen a room filled with
so many hot, sexy women and hot, sexy rocknroll as this one.
North Shore News 2006 THE MANVILS.
...Comparisons to the Kings of Leon and the Strokes aren't justified: the
Manvils have stronger songwriting than the Kings of Leon and Mikey Manville's
gritty vocal delivery and stage antics make him a more compelling frontman
than the Strokes' Julian Casablancas.
