The Manic Standstill Issue “Bulletproof” Single & Video

LA’s The Manic Standstill are back with their powerful new single, Bulletproof, that was recorded and produced by Davey Warsop at Strong Studios. The track features Go Betty Go‘s Aixa Vilar and Michelle Rangel who add even more energy and urgency to the song’s message of strength. The vibrant music video for Bulletproof was brought to life by Nicolette Vilar (Go Betty Go) who also directed and conceptualised the project. Bulletproof will appear on the band’s upcoming album that is set to drop later this year via Wiretap Records and Double Helix Records.

Bulletproof was inspired by a casual challenge, vocalist and songwriter Adam Bones (The Two Tens) asked his wife, Megan, a true crime enthusiast and talented writer, if she could pen lyrics rooted in the genre. To his surprise, fully written lyrics appeared in his inbox the very next day. Megan later revealed that her lyrics were loosely based on the harrowing true story of Mary Vincent, a survivor of a brutal attack and an enduring symbol of resilience.
