Manta – First EP

Manta – First EP

Self released – 2012

Rock, Hard, Stoner

Rated: ***

It’s a relief to know there are bands like Manta out there. Cause sometimes you just need some straight up, no questions asked and none taken, kind of rock ’n roll. A full speed drive down dirty streets with the widows rolled down of yer ugly green car and the fox’s tail swinging like a coked up baseball pro. The Scottish four piece Manta does just that on their first three songs counting EP. Like a Danko Jones that feels like singing about more than girls and their anatomy the songs blast out of the speakers and you can imagine feeling the full force of their energy when they’re live on stage. So grab yer keys, run out the door, start the car and get on the road. Towards a Manta gig or some smoky saloon in the run down part of town. Like a man on the move. And with a swagger just sick enough… Indeed; totally confident!
