Frantic Turtle merges poetry, music, and performance into philosophically viral mixtures like existentialist dancehall, punk-prayer, and toasted jazz poetry. We're into strictly avant expression - the over-fed language of the urban god-piece. And jumpy grooves on the background to keep your ids dancing.
Hello Frantic Turtle people been enjoying your twisty turny tunes here, good work thanks a lot for the add..it was way back in december but I got round to listening eventually.. peas and gloves Ventrilo(chris)
