The Mantles [Raspberry Thighs, SDZ Records]

"Raspberry Thighs" is another new single to be released on French label, SDZ Records. The track is the first new release from San Francisco's The Mantles since their EP Pink Information on Mexican Summer. This release is also the first international title for The Mantles who will be touring Europe this Spring.

The Mantles [Pink Information, Mexican Summer]

San Francisco have yet another awesome band to be proud of. The Mantles are a relatively new group that play killer garage-pop rock, songs like "What We Do Matters" and "Look Away" just get you moving. Their 2009 self-titled debut release was an incredible album that I just can't stop spinning and is worth a listen to. Their live shows are solid, fun to watch and they play with a very good sense of humor. The Mantles will have a new EP called Pink Information, coming out on Mexican Summer and the song "Cascades" from the new record is a gem. Its the perfect summer time jam with a lovely retro feel to it; The Velvet Underground first came to mind and that is always a plus.
