Welcome, hello, hiya, and so on. You've found your way to the myspace of The Frantic. We are five boys who play an original, groundbreaking hybrid of indie, dance, trance, nu-rave, grime, speed metal and dutch polka. Okay, maybe we're just an indie band. We prefer the term "Rave-Rock" though. But, back to business.

We've been a proper band since April 2007 (altough our myspace says otherwise), and have since been writing, recording, playing gigs and generally having a wicked time. We've played with bands such as We Start Fires, Scouting For Girls, Neils Children, (we are) Performance, Selfish C*nt, Ra Ra Riot, Proxy, Envelopes, and the legendary Ageseat (beeyatch!), and have participated in a myriad (okay, two) unsigned competitions (O2 undiscovered finalists and winners of BandRepublic). The O2 competition allowed us to play at Wireless festival this year to a packed out Bubble stage, and the BandRepublic competition means we are now releasing a single (Killing Time) slated for around January of 2008.

So yeah, listen to the tunes, have a little dance in your seat, come and see us live if you feel the need, we're all about the live shows.....if you feel even more of a need to be close to us, feel free to come say hi after a show, we're always happy to chat brap.

Future plans involve getting famous. Obv. And thats all there is to know about our lovely band. See below for various press snippings if you would like to know more about us from people who know more about music than we do.

Press


"The Frantic (are) joining the dots between The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand and The Kooks. All angular guitars, breathless falsetto and youthful exuberance, these lads are a seasoned live act." THE INDEPENDENT

"Their music is a hybrid between the dance offs of Klaxons and the dirgey rock of Bloc Party. With songs that reflect the frantic pace of life, The Frantic's music is edgy, excitable and catchy." MUSIC WEEK

" They are truly exceptional live - full of energy, tunes, sassiness and really are stars in the making."FAB AGENCY



"THE FRANTIC Killing Time 7/10 Juddering stop-start Futureheads funk lifted by cute keyboards that soon get under the skin and vocals both urgent and dynamic thanks to their keening wail. Pretty promising, all in all."John Earls PLANET SOUND



"...Catchy, spikey guitars, falsetto vocals and fast drum beats scream from your speakers, and beg to be played from a massive sound system" Jonny Garrett, music editor EXPOSE ________________________________________________________________

I saw you guys playing the summer ball yesterday, and I never leave these band posts because I think they are sad. But your blog about swansea from the snow ball made me smile lots I thought I'd post and say well done guys on yet another amazing set. :)
Also, I think I saw you in oceana, but I'm the kind of person who's too scared to say hello :S
