INTERROBANG have been making some great pop/noise since former Chumbawumba member Dunstan Bruce reseerected his musical journey after a few years as an award winning film maker. The new single ‘Monosphere’ combines both these worlds with a great song that deconstructs the twisted modern macho toxic masculinity manosphere thinking with a gritty slice of captivating music and a great film…
Manosphere music video is Interrobang’s foray into the whole toxic masculinity debate. This promo is directed by Emmy and BAFTA-award winning director Sophie Robinson who Bruce co-directed the “I Get Knocked Down” documentary with. Filmed up in Darlington thanks to producer Michael Luke at Tees Valley International Film Festival it pulls no punches whilst using humour and ridicule to expose the bankruptcy of this particular poisonous cult.
(Single Release)
Interrobang return with “Manosphere”, a blistering, bile-fuelled takedown of online male grievance culture and the algorithmic echo chambers that turn insecurity into ideology.
Driven by crunching, abrasive synths and a rhythm that pulsates Manosphere is less a song than a sustained intervention. It skewers the language, myths, and self-pity of red-pill forums, incel subcultures, and influencer grifters who monetise male anxiety while offering nothing resembling insight, solidarity, or escape.
Lyrically, Manosphere names the problem directly: fear repackaged as masculinity, resentment sold as awakening, and rage disguised as “truth.” The song dismantles the hollow bravado of online posturing, exposing a feedback loop of memes, misinformation, and grievance that feeds on disconnection and keeps its audience permanently stuck.
Rather than preaching from a distance, Interrobang write from inside the noise. Manosphere captures the churn of feeds, forums, and hot takes, where outrage substitutes for agency and “gurus” peddle maps to nowhere. The result is darkly funny, deliberately uncomfortable, and sharply political without slipping into slogans.
Musically aligned with the band’s new album “Rethink Everything” , Manosphere blends post-punk bite, sardonic wit, and a sense of controlled chaos. It’s confrontational, but never lazy. Angry, but lucid. A reminder that mockery can be a form of clarity, and that naming nonsense still matters.
Manosphere is Interrobang at their most direct and most disciplined: a song that doesn’t ask for debate, doesn’t offer balance, and doesn’t apologise for calling bullshit exactly where it sees it.
