Brian: Frantic Mantis are a three-piece containing members of Division Of Laura Lee and Decahedron/Frodus creating what both their bio and Lujo Records are calling "datapunk." What this means, apparently, is inspired, noisy punk rock in the vein of Decahedron themselves, or perhaps most any of the notable names from the late 80's / early 90's Dischord roster, with a touch of Game Boy blips and bleeps. The band releases their debut Data Is Not Information September 6th via Lujo. Here's a few songs from the record:

Frantic Mantis - "Mantis Rising" Frantic Mantis - "Creation Sickness" Frantic Mantis - "OOCD"
Frantic Mantis - "My Eyes Are Too Large"
