The Band
Manic Wave isn’t just a band. We are a voice for the anxious, the disillusioned, and the emotionally raw. Born in Atlanta in 2024, our sound fuses indie rock, alternative grit, and ambient experimentation—where lyrics bleed vulnerability and every note feels like a confession. Our music is for those navigating heartbreak, mental health struggles, and the beautiful chaos of feeling too much in a world that numbs.
George’s lyricism draws from a lifetime of wrestling with bipolar disorder, autism, and heartbreak—turning pain into poetry.
We’ve built our world from the studio floor up—every word, beat, and breakdown is ours. We are driven by purpose, and committed to creating experiences, not just songs.
