Manumit started out in August of 2000. After much discussion, by members Steve, Jake, and brothers Matt and Chris, of forming a band.
Because of their love of Hardcore and Steves of Metal, they decided to form a Metallic Hardcore band, because that was the music they were mainly listening to at the time.
None of the members had a musical background, except for Steve who had been playig guitar for a number of years.
Jake and Chris bought there instruments purely because they were forming a band. Chris had only had his drums a week and they had already had there first jam. This all went alright, starting by playing Hatebreed's Puritan.
It was very crude, Steve using a very small amp, and it was the first time they had heard each other play.
By the next jam Steve had acquired a new Laney amp of a larger proportion, and it sounded sweet. They had finished Puritan by the third jam, which they found to be quite pleasing, considering the fact they had never played befor.
After they finished Puritan they started to work on there own songs, making a new one every second or so jam.
Jamming in Matt and Chris's shed then moving on to a larger shed then onto Jakes shed they enjoyed jamming alot.
After alot of things interfearing they are still going strong heading into 2001.
