Red-hot-blooded Philly pop-punk burners MANNEQUIN PUSSY
just unleashed shared their 4th LP, titled I GOT HEAVEN.

Press info: Mannequin Pussy‘s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Their new album, I Got Heaven, which will be released via Epitaph Records , is the band’s most fully realised recording yet. Over ten ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting alternative pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.

Pitchfork: “The Philadelphia rock band meets the moment with an essential, wide-
ranging record that’s mouthy, messy, and self-assured… It operates by a pop album’s rules;
it’s unashamed of its ambition and unselfconscious of its artifice, and in that way it’s a perfect reflection of its own thematic commitment to self-definition. The vulnerability that’s always made Mannequin Pussy’s music feel personal and urgent has now given them the freedom to expand in unexpected ways and discover what else they might be able to contain. It never feels like pure product; it’s too moist, too clammy, far too impolite.”
Score: 8.8/10.


Impressive album artwork

TUTV: From spiked pop turbulence (Nothing Like / Sometimes) to brutal punk-exorcism
(I Got Heaven / OK? OK? OK? OK? / Of Her / Aching) and some barbed lullabies (I Got Heaven
/ I Don’t Know You
/ Split Me Open). Be ready for a series of maddening mood swings that does your ears, your mind and your speakers in with its vociferous and fulminating primal screams and its high-strung rollercoaster disturbance. They got heaven but they sure know a lot about hell too. Amen to that.

MANNEQUIN PUSSY – Pithy Philly Punk Engine Drop New Blast ‘I GOT HEAVEN’

Daily electricity to load your batteries

29 August 2023

Band: MANNEQUIN PUSSY
Who: Philly punk engine / 3 albums (so far)

New single: I GOT HEAVEN

Marisa Dabice (frontwoman): “I Got Heaven” is a song intended to merge the sacred
and the profane and to serve as a reminder that we are all perfect exactly as we have been made and that no one gets to decide how a life should or should not be lived. Heaven is here on a planet that gave us everything we needed to survive. Heaven is in the plants and in the water and in the animals who we share this world with. Heaven is inside of me and inside of you. The weaponization of Christianity for political means, for individual profit and power, as a tool to intentionally divide us, is one of the greatest threats to our modern world and a threat to our ability to find solidarity through love. To allow the hatred and the violence and the noise to rise is to reject our sacred purpose as individuals, which is simply to love.”


Artwork single

TUTV: I Got Heaven is an up/down, forth/back, left/right blast with mood swings
vocals by frenetic front Amazon Dabice. She’s her entire self, and so should we all.
Every individual is unique, so is Mannequin Pussy.

All Hell Breaks Loose With MANNEQUIN PUSSY In 82 Perfect Seconds

28 April 2021

Band: MANNEQUIN PUSSY
Who: Philly punk force / 3 albums (so far)

New single: PERFECT – title track from upcoming EP, out 21 May

About: “I realized that through years of social media training, many of us have grown
this deep desire to manicure our lives to look as perfect, as aspirational as possible. We
want to put ourselves out there, share our lives, our stories, our day to day – and these
images and videos all shout the same thing: “Please look at me, please tell me I’m so perfect.” It’s simultaneously a declaration of our confidence but edged with the desperation that seeks validation from others.”
says vocalist-guitarist Missy.

Why writing a 300-page book or making a 2-hour movie when you can get your message across perfectly in 82 striking seconds? Listen to this new Pussy Molotov cocktail and you’ll get my adrenaline-charged drift. When you combine the hair-raising clamor of Bikini Kill and the grunge nastiness of Hole you can’t be as loud and clear as this.

Look in my eyes
Tell me I’m it
Tell me I’m beauty
Tell me I’m fit
Laugh at my face
Spit on my tits
Tell me I’m perfect
Tell me I’m it

You can buy the track here
