d'Manufacture took the stage and turned the entire venue to pay attention to their show. The energy, timing, vocals, and stage presence was amazing as all members participated and gave the performance 110%. The live show has you vicariously living though their music.

The intense lead vocals shared by David Rankin have a uniqueness that can stand alone which shined in the acoustic beginning of "Unopened Door" beginning solo with the gradual blend of the other members. This song is borderline hypnotizing as it combines styles and a vocal range which touches your musical soul. WJRR 101.1 has been giving well deserved airplay to this song. I expect it will go to a request favorite in the coming months. Yes, it is that good!

Ever had a song that sticks in your head and you sing it over and over? Well, if you listen to, "Something 2 live 4" you will be infected with this awesome production. This song works lyrically, but still has a hard edge in a soft manner. You will have to listen to grasp what I am trying to put into words.

There is no doubt that d'Manufacture increased their fan base with their flawless energetic performance tonight. All the band members mingled with their old and new fans after the show. These guys are just grass roots real nice people with a lot of talent.

If you have not been to see d'Manufacture in concert, I highly recommend you do.
