<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/rrQNLcs8I58&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/rrQNLcs8I58&rel=0</a>]]>Formed in 2003, this Greensboro, NC quintet, consisting of Keith Allen (vox/guitar) vox, Marcus Horth (vox, guitar) ; Brian Tyndall (bass, bkgrd vox), Brent Vaughn (percussion), and Justin Loew on drums, has been gaining an army of fans with their unique blend of rock, fusion, jazz, and funk, as well as their off the wall live shows. It is not uncommon for the band to not only traverse these genres in a single performance, but to do so in a single song. Reminiscent of the blistering energy found in early seventies recordings of Frank Zappa's touring band, the Mantras excel with their virtuosic playing and superior musicianship, all the while not losing sight of the overall arrangements and songs.
