Anders Manly played with some really cool bands, won a contest, had a handful of kind words written about them (see below) and then died. This was all between the fall of 2008 and August 2009.
Though we can neither confirm or deny this report, it has been said that members of Anders later went on to form a band called The Durbervilles.
Peace.
-Anders-
Not a person but a four–piece band, Anders Manly plays a strain of wordy,
idiosyncratic pop typified by the lo–fi thrash and collegiate whimsy of ”Tori the Tiger Lady.” ”Relative Revolt” starts with a more austere post–punk vibe but soon crashes the party with musical chaos, while the reverb–y, surf–tickled ”Alexandra Tan Has Gone Away” rides high on an eel–like bass line and a seemingly stream–of–conscious lyrical flow. Things come together most winningly on the cleaner, leaner ”SS Holiday,” though it’s still quirky enough to keep us listening. Tilting at the Khyber–Tritone axis and finding kindred spirits in West Philly’s Saudi Arabia, Anders Manly are off to a running start.
-Philadelphia Weekly-
We really couldn't have said it better ourselves!
Lo-fi pop is alive and well in Philadelphia, but nobody knew it. Hometown four-piece Anders Manly popped out of whatever quirky hole (or dorm room) they've been hiding in until presently, sounding like an unwashed amalgam of a less-accomplished Flaming Lips and more-friendly David Cronenberg's Wife. Don't let the very consciously outre songtitles throw you ("Tori the Tiger Lady"), their tunes betray a definitively punk rock aesthetic. The group is playing a handful of shows in Philly and Brooklyn between now and the end of March, including a few with Mississippi's harder-hitting-than-usual indie outfit Dark Knights of Camelot.

We used to be called "Mumrik" that was looking for a singer and now we finally found a singer and the band name became STM since we are working together at a distance of 6000miles from Leeds, UK to Kyoto, Japan. We have uploaded 3 songs now. Check out how it works.
