Manic Has teamed up this up and coming band.Their name is simply IO, this is one band that's very heavy and hardcore. If you like thrash, heavy beats,kick ass vocals you will love this band. Manic radio is very proud to team up with this band. This band was Reffered to us By our own DJ devil. So I would like to say thanks to him for hooking us up with this great band. 

Io, a five piece hailing from Youngstown Ohio, features members of three tried and true Youngstown originals; Secondhand Suicide, K-Awake, and Erin's Vineyard. Vocalist Ian Pethel has made quite a name for himself in the Cleveland metal scene, gigging alongside acts such as, 216, Mushroomhead, and Drowning Pool. Bassist Bob Boak is regarded as one of the region's finest, kicking ass with his nu-metal project K-Awake. Seth Kensinger's meticulous guitarwork in Erin's Vineyard is carried over with multiplicity in this new project, working with fellow guitarist Angelo Black to create a hyper-melodic, dual-lead guitar style. Boak and percussionist C.J. Wilcox provide the sonic backdrop and bottom. All while Pethel crushes you with his vocals.
