Congrats to Mannequin Pussy for winning The Deli Philly’s Readers’/Fans’ and Overall (readers/fans + jurors) Polls for the Punk/Metal category! There are few emerging bands that can match the energy and ferocity of a live performance from Marisa Dabice, Thanasi Paul, Kaleen Reading and Colins Regisford. The band also released one of the best Philly albums of 2016 in Romantic (Tiny Engines), which was our November Record of the Month. "Mannequin Pussy’s ability to transition between melody and dissonance from track to track is mesmerizing." The quartet will be performing next in Philly on February 24 at Johnny Brenda’s as part of The Trevor Project Benefit.
We also need to mention Pinkwash, who placed second in the overall chart, and Soul Glo, who was runner-up in our readers’/fans’ poll and third overall in this category – well done guys and gal!
