Mannequin Pussy formed in Philadelphia in 2010 around school friends Marisa 'Missy' Dabice and Athanasios Paul. By 2026 it was Dabice on vocals and guitar, Kaleen Reading on drums, Colins 'Bear' Regisford on bass and Maxine Steen on guitar. The sound swings violently between hardcore ferocity and pure pop melody, and 'Darling,' the closing track of the Perfect EP (2021), is the soft end of that swing. After buying the masters of Romantic back from Tiny Engines, they launched their own imprint, Romantic Records, in August 2023, with a Romantic reissue as its first release. And in April 2026 they played NPR's Tiny Desk with a string quartet.
