mnttaB - mainsHum

Band request from Australia.

If the Devil had drank a milkshake made of disco, punk and
electronica and then vomited up the contents, forming a 
band from the resulting steaming mess, mnttaB would
be the result!


Never has a band with no guitars made me jump around so much.
Glorious ramshackle fun, this is the ideal soundtrack to play when
you want to experience being drunk but without drinking. 

Play this to your relatives on Christmas day and watch them cross
you off their contact lists!



Bio: mnttaB? - its a melbourne based new romantic, jazz funk, post-nothing, noise-pop smorgasbord with extra mayonnaise.  Sort of like demented lift muzak played through a big muff, with the sounds of some random domestic "incident" seeping through the walls of your bedsit. 

How can tunes assembled on a sequencer get so out of time? How can digitally recorded vocals sound so scratchy and distorted? Why does such an expensive synthesizier sound so cheap? 

All these questions and more remain unanswered by the mainsHum EP....Imagine early Dollar (if they had listened to more Toxo Plasma) or a mutant Thomas Dolby with webbed hands and broken fingers or Vangelis if he only had a Wasp to work with or GBH let loose on a Fairlight - imagine all that , all at the same time, all through a ripped speaker cone....turned up really fucking loud.

mnttaB - Rocky 4,2 and 3 (2012)






















Band request from Melbourne, Australia.

Here is their press release:

You cant dance to this (well you can can try , but you'd probably end up hurting yourself) , it aint never gonna be cool, the "kids" wont like it and it will just look stupid painted on your jacket. 


On the plus-side mnttaB's sound is a stomping noise-pop, synth-punk head-fuck packed with distorted beats, primal hooks and LOADS of shouting: Its great, you will love it...etc etc

Lining up shows in Euro/US this summer. So Look Out.

"I'm nobodies sidekick, dont have to pretend, I wont suffer your mood swings : I will not accept my own weakness.
Cos Im bigger than Elvis, Arnie, Dolph Lungren , Steve Seagal.
Believe me - I'm Rocky 4, 2 and 3.
See I'm big in Spain, Italy and Japan: I'm bigger than Beckham and Jesus AND Bono.
Fuck yeah : I'm Rocky"

mnttaB incorporate spastic rhythms, distorted samples and plenty of
shouty vocals laid over beats to great effect. Short and to the point,
this is as much noisy fun that can be had without a guitar.
