Arriving in the aftermath of Brit-pop, Mansun was one of the first British guitar-bands to depart from the prevailing styles of the mid-'90s, leaving both light, Beatlesque pop and studied trad-rock behind. Mansun had more in common with early '90s bands like Suede and the Manic Street Preachers, groups that stood defiantly outside of the pop spotlight, yet managed to cultivate a devoted fanbase. By combining a dark, grandiose vision with the driving intensity of hard-rock and the stylish swagger of New Romanticism, Mansun didn't sound a thing like their contemporaries.
