The Bruces

Alex McManus may be the brainchild at the rear of the lush, poetic noises from the Bruces. The Bruces started as a part task in the mid-nineties when McManus was jamming with Lambchop and Empire Condition while dealing with Vic Chesnutt. He previously made a existence in Atlanta, self-releasing a restricted 500 copies of Hialeah Red from the decade’s end. In 2002, McManus dusted from the Bruce’s southern, nice sound for another album. He installed with fellow Lambchop compadre/maker Tag Nevers (Vic Chesnutt, Jenny Toomey, Metallic Jews) at Nashville’s Beech Home. McManus and Nevers produced a folk/indie/digital sound that ultimately led to the discharge of The Battle from the Bruces in fall 2002. Nevers came back to the combining table in 2004 for the Glowing Route, which also presented the skills of visitor vocalists Ted Stevens (Cursive) and Maria Taylor (Azure Ray)
