New Mantles!

San Francisco's finest, The Mantles have two new tracks streaming on their Myspace.

The tracks scream from the same primal rock n roll depths as their debut LP but this time there seems an added urgency, as if committing these songs to tape is their final act!

Cascades blisters any speakers that come within a five metre radius and Situations rolls with the same sinister end of the night vibes that propelled much of their long player.

No official word on when we'll see a physical release of this stuff but the anticipation starts now!

Check out Cascades and Situations here

The Mantles are; along with Nodzzz, Fresh & Only's and Thee Oh Sees to name but a few; creating such a buzz around San Francisco at the moment its hard not to get excited...

Their debut LP, released last year on Siltbreeze, was a highlight for us here at Tally Ho (see our forthcoming issue for an interview with the band) and we just happened to stumble upon this great local San-Fran blog with a free podcast download of a recent Mantles interview and live session!
