Biography

Formed in 1965 in Billings, Montana, the Frantics were a sextet who drew their influences from Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and, later, Jim Morrison (note the Lizard Records imprint for their second album). They were a little on the heavy side in terms of their musical approach, and were ambitious--they played throughout the United States and relocated several times, to New Mexico and then to Colorado Springs, Colorado, before settling in Los Angeles in 1969. The group released a pair of singles, "La Do Da Da" b/w "Route 66" and "Midnight To Six Man" b/w "Shady Sam." They also cut two albums, Relax Your Mind, which dated from 1968 and was unreleased until the 1990's, and a second album, Conception, late in their history. At around that same time, they dropped the "s" from their name and worked as The Frantic. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

The Frantics was a snotcore punk rock band from Clinton, South Carolina. Founded by Kevin Mac (vocals/guitar), Timmy Timmy (guitar/vocals), Anthony Price (bass/vocals) and Todd Skeleton (drums/skinny). Drew Perry replaced Todd on drums in late 1998, but only recorded a handful of songs with the band.

The band formed out of high school in 1995, and began recording immediately (one demo album and two 7" EPs in their first year). Frantics toured the U.S. through 1999, recording two LPs and two more 7"es along the way (as well as countless compilation tracks).

They have toured with and/or supported touring bands like: AFI, Parasites, Cletus, Against All Authority, The Pull-Outs, Blanks 77, Flatus, The Vandals, MU330, Bouncing Souls, The Force, Zeke and Mustard Plug.

2005 saw a one-time "reunion" show for the Frantics, playing to raise money for the cancer-stricken local club owner that booked them during their heyday.
