Raves About Mandy is a post-hardcore collective based out of New York City, originally established in the 2024 Florida heat by emo-rap artist and producer hottubjohny. The band is joined by numerous artists from across the scene, with the first single releases of 2025 all done in collaboration with a rotating wheel of post-hardcore musicians. The 2026 single "flix bus" was the first to include vocalist Sam Schafer into the band's lineup.
