Frantic Mantis - “Data Is Not Information”

July 9th, 2005 by Travis Keller

Frantic Mantis is Shelby Cinca (from Frodus) and two Swedish chums of his, Per Stålberg and Håkan Johansson
(both from Division Of Laura Lee). Shelby loves Sweden. I’m pretty sure these guys named their band after a video game or a computer program of some kind. These guys love video games and computers. Frantic Mantis make some DC sounding punk rock with a few electronic blips and blops thrown in as well. I’ve always dug Shelby’s bands, Frodus made some cool records. And although I don’t know too much about Division Of Laura Lee I’m digging the sound of these three
guys together. Cept I like it better when Shelby sings. "Creation Sickness" and "Data Is Not Information" are my two favorite jams on this record. Check Shelby’s "Just For Men" beard in the photo below. He’s like the punk rock Tom Selleck and shit. Buy this album now from Lujo Records by clicking here.
