History

Oh, Manhattan originally formed in 2009 in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, United States, by members of various local acts. The name "Oh, Manhattan" was derived from a song written by original vocalist Donny Thomas about The Manhattan Project . Their first self-released EP was entitled "We're All Sons Of Bitches Now" which was a play on words spoken by Kenneth Bainbridge in reference to the first atom bomb. After a series of member changes the band released their second EP, "The Anti Davinci", and were soon noticed by Matt Shelton of Indianola Records. Oh, Manhattan would go on to release an album entitled Spiritual Warfare on Indianola Records.
