Polish:
The rock group MANCHESTER was created 18 March 2006 in Torun (Poland), when some musicians met for the first rehearsal. The group consists of guitarist brothers – Slawek and Darek playing in the other band from their city – TORONTO. There are also Maciek – heard by Slawek during some karaoke party and other musicians from local bands. A few weeks later MANCHESTER played its first gig in Od Nowa club in Torun. What’s interesting, the band was qualified for the final round of DEBIUTY OPOLSKIE, only a month after its creation! In July 2006, MANCHESTER was nominated in category ‘The New Face of the Year’, during the concert ‘Stars from Torun’ with SLAWEK UNIATOWSKI and SOFA. Since that time the group played numerous concerts in the whole country e.g. ‘The Day of the White Flag’ (memorizing G. CIECHOWSKI), being invited by ZBYSZEK KRZYWANSKI (REPUBLIKA) and in Polish RADIO PIK. In May 2007 MANCHESTER was qualified to perform during UNION OF ROCK festival in Wegorzewo as one of eight groups from Poland. So far, the group have managed to record their first demo, concert material and DVD. Presently, MANCHESTER is working out to sign the professional record contract and the first release seems to be just a question of time… Cory Siebe (22 yrs) is responsible for guitar, vocals, harmonica, snare drum, and baby accordion.
American:
Manchester are Cory Siebe and Jonathan Pasma, 22-year-olds who, like me, only recently settled in Seattle. They just finished chemistry degrees at Whitworth College and now that they're free of the laboratory, they're scientifically taking on the regional music scene. Their indie promotion formula is based on full-color posters, a self-produced CD (Chipper Acts of Chivalry), and an aggressive touring regimen, including nine gigs in the first 10 days of September.
Their music is a campy American approximation of the British approximation of American ragtime: piano and guitar with a pounding tempo, complemented by accordion, harmonica, and banjo. They sing in sync, in intentionally flat and horrible faux-British accents. When they play live, they face each other with their legs apart and feet slightly pigeon-toed. They shake and twitch, and call this "The Manchester Stance."
"We want to be big," Siebe says. "Not Neil Diamond Big, but Death Cab for Cutie Big."
Their self-assurance alone reminds me of Manchester, where they've never been and about which they admit they know little. I fill them in on the scene and vocabulary (if you're from Manchester you're Mancunian) and pass them some mixes.
"They sound like Chas & Dave do Ben Folds."
Chas & Dave are a London duo who conquered the charts in the '70s and '80s with comedic pub rock. They're a British institution, revered for their cheesiness and earnestness.
Their songs show lyrical and compositional promise, their enthusiasm is infectious, and they play their hearts out.
"They bring banjo back to the masses, which is commendable if not recommended. And they are named after a great town."

Manchester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like glorious, glamorous and that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough
You're much too much and just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
You're much, you're too much and just too very, very
To ever be, to ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, tell you that you're marvelous
Tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words
In Manchester's song “Words”, the artist sings about how his love interest is too marvelous for words, meaning she is too amazing and wonderful for him to express her beauty and greatness with words alone. He describes her as glorious, glamorous, and amorous, all emphasizing how she is beyond words. He then admits that he will never find the words that say enough or tell enough that express just how amazing she is.
These lyrics suggest that the love he feels for his interest is intense enough to leave him speechless. Manchester resorts to borrowing a love song from the birds to say just how amazing his love interest is. The song expresses the limitations of language in expressing strong emotions, making the listener understand that sometimes words fall short, and actions and emotions speak louder than words.
