Mark Shelton (Vocals/Guitar) was teached playing piano by
his mother when he was 5 years old. But other instruments
should follow. He learned to play drums and he was a member
of Jazz- and Countryrock-Bands, then he had his own
rock´n´roll band called EMBRYO. From one of the two guitar
players in this band he was teached to play guitar. After
High School he started to study anthropology and he created
a new band together with bassplayer Scott Park and drummer
Rick Fisher: MANILLA ROAD.
In 1980 they released their first record INVASION on their
own label "Roadster Records". Their second album METAL was
released in 1982 and still they were experimenting with
different styles. You can find simple rock-tunes on both
albums but also long space rock songs. Still on the More...

------ About artist/band Manilla Road
These guys have paid dues we've never seen. The dis-respect was insane but they held their ground. In '76 I'd never seen such animalistic guitar playing outside of Ted Nugent ( also with Wichita ties ) It's OUTSTANDING to see them still rockin and roadin'if I get the chance I'll go see them again. The resurgence of blistering metal should be right up their road. Rock on boys.
Their 1st live gig was in 1977 at Dance and Boogie Your Butt of in Wichita, Ks. They were 17 yrs. old and couldn't even drink a beer yet. They played for $2 a person cover charge. I know this for a fact because I owned the bar and they had never played live before.
