When punk rock reared its spiky head in the early seventies, Marc Bell had the best seat in the house. Already a young veteran of the prototype American metal band Dust, Bell took residence in artistic, seedy Lower Manhattan, where he played drums in bands that would shape rock music for decades to come, including Wayne County, who pioneered transsexual rock, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids, who directly inspired the entire early British punk scene.If punk has royalty, Marc became part of it in 1978 when he was anointed ‘Marky Ramone’ by Johnny, Joey, and Dee Dee of the iconoclastic Ramones.

The Manges are an Italian pop punk band who formed in La Spezia in 1993. The Manges "Go Down" is the CD that is sure to save punk rock.

Produced by Phillip of the Teen Idols, This CD has everything that is missing from punk music today, mainly energy, drive and power.
