Manic Automatic

A well designed and highly interactive site, using both Flash 4 and HTML programming. Stylish, fun, sharp - this site showcases the LA-based band, Manic Automatic. With a band history, samples of their music (in RealAudio or MP3 format), members' bios, misc information, gig guide - this site holds everything a band site should - and more.

They also offer a series of awards for web design - presented in HTML format, but staying true to the theme of the Flash programming - which is a nice thematic touch.

We enjoyed wandering through this site immensely. Maintained by band member Erik Harlow, this site showcases not just Manic Automatic's musical ability, but also their rather impressive web design skills!

Rated: 19/20 for content, style and design.
