The Manges are an Italian pop punk band who formed in La Spezia in 1993.[1]

The band's first release was a 2000 split with the McRackins titled Amp Records Battle Royale![2] In 2001 the Manges recorded their debut album The Manges 'R' Good Enough for Stardumb Records. The album drew comparisons to the Ramones and included a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Goonies 'R' Good Enough".[3]

The band is closely associated with The Queers, having gone on a European tour with the band,[4] and having recorded the split album Acid Beaters with them. Former Queers bassist Phillip Hill produced the Manges second album Go Down.[5] American punk band Screeching Weasel covered the Manges song "I Will Always Do" on their album Teen Punks in Heat.
