Based in South Derry, Northern Ireland, Mantic are a 7-piece-psychedelic-soul-funk-prog-feel-dirty-rock-jam-kinda-thang with a strong following and the musical passion to have earned it. Reknowned in the local underground for their unique sound, style and onstage presence, they are quickly gaining well-deserved notoriety and managed to bag a main stage slot at 2008's Glasgowbury Festival.
With a lot of hard graft and more sweet, sweet music on the way, Mantic are most definitely out to be noticed. You never know, you might even like it.
