Mannequin Pussy

2 upcoming festivals

Philly band swinging between shoegaze tenderness and full-throated hardcore, often inside one song — catharsis with total dynamic control.

Mannequin Pussy are a rock band from Philadelphia, led by singer and guitarist Marisa Dabice. Their records move between short, abrasive hardcore-leaning tracks and slower, melodic songs with shoegaze and indie-pop textures, frequently shifting between the two within a single track. Albums including Patience and Perfect Storm sharpened that contrast, and the band has drawn attention for the emotional directness of Dabice's writing and for live sets that swing hard between the quiet and loud ends of the catalogue.
