Backed by a dynamic ensemble of banjos, mandolin, guitars, violin, drums, and bass, “The Manky Melters” craft a musical experience that is as infectious as it is exhilarating.

Tracks such as “One More Round” encapsulate the band’s ethos, inviting listeners to join them on a raucous journey fueled by whiskey, beer, and gin.
Recorded under the deft hand of Quentin Geiss at Woodpile Studio and mastered by Stephane Bonacci, “One More Round” boasts a polished sound that perfectly complements the raw energy of “The Manky Melters”‘s performance.
