Straight out of Milan’s dark nights comes a brand-new fuzz cult: gritty guitars, obsessive beats, and a scorching attitude. FFO: The Cramps, Link Wray, Bo Diddley, Devo, Viagra Boys

Manduria returns with ‘Boat’, the second single taken from the upcoming album ‘Bite Me!’, a record built from raw nerve, blown-out amps, and Milan’s sleepless underground pulse. Recorded together with longtime partners-in-crime The Bad Plug, single captures Manduria’s signature approach: turning rhythmic “glitches” and obsessive loops into fuel, pushing the track forward like an engine on fire. It’s garage rock pushed to the edge, sharp, minimal, and ferociously alive, performed by a one-man band armed with a guitar, a loop station, and three screaming amplifiers. Because one is never enough. But ‘Bite Me!’ is also a tribute.

The album is dedicated to Carlo Uberti, close friend, collaborator, producer, and brother in spirit. Manduria and Carlo grew up together, sharing stages, recording sessions, and the kind of unforgettable nights you only get once in a lifetime. His presence and bass-lines echo deeply through these songs.

“Carlo was a wonderful, clever, and real friend. All of my music will always be for him.”

Song stands as a howl of affection and defiance, refusing to sink, refusing to let go. In the scorching chaos of Milan’s reborn ROK scene, where basement shows, gallery gatherings and late-night bar sets blur into one feverish current—Manduria has emerged as one of the most urgent voices. You don’t listen to Manduria. You step aboard. And for the release of his debut album, he’s taking the city with him. Manduria is assembling a fleet of Milan’s iconic orange trams, transforming them into a moving stage and a massive collective ride. The release party won’t take place in a club, a bar, or a venue, it will roll across the streets, alive, loud, and impossible to ignore. This is not just a record launch. It’s a takeover.
