World War 3 - Music

Mantits Began In 1999 As The World Was Ending. Mantits Ended Or Did He? In 2005. The-Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Mantits Now Plays Guitar For Boston Glam-Punk Band Ruffian Dick Under The Alias "JMo " With Aaron Sickness On Vocals Former Guitarist In The Inbreds And The McVeighs With Jeremiah Back In The 1990s And More Recently The Singer For Sick Joke And Lewd Al And Eli From Ravage And Iron Will On Drums And Guitar And Booger Myers On Bass. Mantits Was Originally Somewhere Between A Dark Sarcastic Joke And A Desire For Unapologetic Personal Expression Not Expected To Do Much More Than Write A Few Ludicrous 'folk' Songs By Until Then A Spazzcore-Punk And Not-A-Metal-Band Song Writer On Cheap Cassettes. As Time Went On And The Masses Responded With Unbounded Praise And Admiration 'Tits Kept Writing And Playing Eventually Going On To Record Two Full-Length CDs And A Split With Johnny Hobo And The Freight Trains. Finally He Broke Up Due To Existential Torment At The Impossibility Of Singing Humanity Quickly Into A Different State Of Consciousness In Order To Avoid Self-Imitation And So That He Could Escape From The Excruciating Inner Tension He Felt Between His 'the Sky Is The Limit' Taking-Seriously-Ness Regarding The Mantits Project Vis-A-Vis His Overwhelming Disgust For Music/social/status Scenes. About A Year Later He Released A Collection Of B-Sides-And-Outtakes Called 'quit While You're Ahead.' Mantits Was Always A Plea For Unapologetic Personal Expression Littered With Dark Sarcastic Reflections On 'the-Human-Condition' And 'the-Postmodern-World.' It Is Nothing Else If Not Part Folk Part Punk. read less
