Manifest began in 2001 with a desire to make their own brand of unique metal. After releasing an EP in 2003, the band had built up a large local following and played shows all over New England. The band was young; and with members attending both UMASS Lowell and Berklee College of Music, the group was forced on hiatus.

Regrouping in 2009, the band recorded an EP with plans to tour and look for distribution. Internal personal issues forced lineup changes, leaving three of the original five members and a rekindled desire to take over the metal world.

With a full length recording set to be released in the early spring 2011, the band plans to tour and shop labels for distribution. Manifest is ready to take their energetic shows all over the northeast while selling their recordings and merch.

Black Collar Radio started in 2008 as an emerging, web-based underground radio broadcast, solely focused on the Philadelphia Tri-State region.

As of February 2011, BCR is expanding to include a wider range of cities and locations, in an effort to spread beyond this single geographic area.
