Band: THE MANIC BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
Who: The musical project of Canadian siblings Bela and Fernando Ferreira, born out of a desire to escape from the mundane, and instead, form a refuge for misfits. After being raised strict Catholics and shipped off to Portugal to live with their grandmother–a former nun–the siblings decided to run the other way, and refuse to become submissive and apathetic, like a modern-day Bonnie & Clyde.
New single: WE’LL BE FINE
The first shared piece of the duo’s upcoming,
self-titled 5-track debut EP, out on 13 July.
Fernando about the song: “We all live with the mistakes we’ve made. Maybe the tattoo you regret, the relationship you should have never been in, the words you should have said, what you should have not said, or maybe the time we’ve wasted. He continues,”‘We’ll Be Fine’ is about letting go of all of those things. I really believe that even when nothing around us makes sense, and as much of a mess as life may seem at times, for whatever reason, we are exactly where we are meant to be. There is a plan for us all.”

TUTV: We’ll Be Fine is an arresting and bloodcurdling discharge that focuses on the aftermath of a painful relation-breakup. Slowly but surely the sensitive forcefulness and the tense emotions at play drag you into this absorbing, mid-tempo cry-out with Bela Ferreira‘s sky-scraping vocals sending shivers down your spine when the heart-and-soul stirring chorus comes up. The orchestrated musical progression emphasizes the melodrama of this sterling composition just perfectly. A prime score!
The eye-catching, accompanying video clip, directed by Ernie Vasquez, follows a man who decides to walk away from his mundane life in search of something greater. Unbound to
a nine-to-five job, he attempts to truly discover freedom and independence.
