Manda Rin releases her debut solo long-player, 'My DNA', through This Is Fake DIY Records on Monday 8th September 2008. The new album will be preceded by the single, 'DNA', which is released digitally on 18th August and physically - on seven-inch vinyl - on 25th August.

Manda Rin, aka Amanda MacKinnon, is instantly recognisable from cult electro-punk pop trio Bis. About a year after the band formed in 1994, they appeared on Top of the Pops. Bis went on to record three albums, release a Greatest Hits, and tour with the likes of the Foo Fighters, Ash, Garbage, Super Furry Animals and Gary Numan.

Further abroad Bis featured on Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label in the USA, and sold nearly 100,000 copies of their debut album in its first week of release in Japan.

Now Manda is continuing to dabble in disco-punk, but with a strong guitar pop edge. She claims her new direction is influenced by acts like The Gossip, CSS, New Young Pony Club, To My Boy, Blood Red Shoes and her new favourite band Late Of The Pier.
