Sneaky Pete's

A few words to describe La Mantra, the latest three piece hailing from Dunfermline, Scotland:
“Refreshingly fucking disruptive”

La Mantra (composed of frontman Ryan, guitarist/producer Ged and lead guitarist Scott) hold nothing back when it comes to individual music, style and attitude.

Their sound is fresh, catchy, sexy and dirty. Think heavy pop, meets hiphop, meets pure adrenaline. Think 5SOS meets Royal Blood, meets Paramore, meets however they felt on the day.

As much businessmen as they are uncontainable energetic talent, they insist on creating original music with a clear message, operating within a narrative of speaking to the work, brand codes and maintaining momentum.

With many more singles lined up and planned to be released this coming year, a full set of originals and one hell of a stage show, these boys are undoubtedly the ones to watch, and well, looks like this is your chance?

The band released their 2022 album Process to worldwide acclaim, through Mistletone (AU/NZ), Exploding In Sound (US), and Erste Theke Tontraeger (EU), then toured throughout EU/UK, and supported IDLES on all their Australian tour dates. Process won Music Victoria’s Best Rock/Punk work, was nominated for the Australia Music Prize, and was included in NME’s best 25 Australian albums of the year.
