Mannequin Death Squad take things up a notch with more screaming, anthemic choruses that twist and turn in the ways one least expects."
Rolling Stone India

"More like suckerpunch. Cops a strong underground punk sound. It's destructive and full of attitude. I wouldn't want to mess with you two. I'm all for it." – ★★★★

Mannequin Death Squad (MDS) is an instrument swapping, rock/punk band from
Melbourne, Australia. The fiercely independent duo has left a trail of enthusiastic and
passionate fans in their wake across the globe. Mixing catchy pop melodies with ferocious punk rock riffs, and an infectiously energetic live show.

They will be hitting the road on their 2025 Australian tour in support of their upcoming
album 'Wise and Dangerous'. Over six dates, Dan and Elly will be playing the new album in full featuring super-charged singles “Safe and Warm” featuring DZ Deathrays, “Everybody’s Movin”, Keep Me Honest" and “Monsters”. As well songs from their first two releases.

The last couple of years have seen the turbo-powered pair going from festival slots in India to supporting Suicidal Tendancies on their sold-out 40th Anniversary Australian tour, two European DIY tours as well as multiple SXSW AUS appearances. In their history, the band have shared the stage with acts such as Soulfly, NENA, Frenzal Rhomb, WAAX British India and SOFT PLAY (UK).
