Städtische Manieren

Städtische Manieren are jumping in, head first! Cheeky off-kilter guitars, massive walls of sound, the occasional freakout and stripped down honesty, intertwined by a playfully expressive vocal - Städtische Manieren have created inventive and challenging music that is hard to forget.
Blending 90s Alternative with modern Experimental Rock, Avant-Pop and a hint of Post-Punk, they thrive on breaking and reshaping existing patterns and forms with a curiosity reminiscent of bands like Deerhoof and Sonic Youth.
In their visceral live performances, audiences are caught up in the moment, ricocheting from one sonic experience to the next. No safety net. No standstill. You want to dance, but you don’t know how. Until you let go of everything you know and simply surrender to the movement.
Städtische Manieren formed in Berlin around the end of 2022, with members Alda, Till, Enna, and Till meeting in the context of Jazz. They soon scattered across Germany but continued to work on the project, playing various underground venues and shaping the band’s sound. In October 2025, their debut album Posterchild was released, a bold and colorful introduction to the world of Städtische Manieren. Explosive yet introspective, it tackles topics such as a culture of reflection without change, bottled-up anger and physicality, showcasing their storytelling skills and intricate musicianship. Following the release, they played multiple shows in Germany, opening for acts like Lawn Chair and Andreya Casablanca, and are part of the lineup for About Pop and Fusion 2026.
