A brand new pop-punk act spawned from
Chicago Illinois, The Frantic are here to give their
audience a new spin on the genre. Kyle Dee (vocals
and guitar), Ian Farnesi (guitar), Chris Farnesi (bass
and vocals), and Brett Hartwell (drums and vocals) are
all well under the age of 21, setting them in a place for
those pop-punk princesses who still collect pictures of
their favorite bands, however, the they don't seem to
see that as a drawback.
The Frantic have already received acclaim in print
and are named as one of the 'Top 100 Bands You Need To
Know In 2008' by Alternative Press. The Frantic are also
receiving great feedback from the radio as well and can be
heard on satellite and FM radio alike. Chicago's Q101 even
handed the band 'Best New Artist' in 2007 over such better
known bands as Plain White T's, Chevelle, Rise Against,
Atreyu, and Against Me!. The band's video for "Audio &
Murder" can be seen on multiple MTV channels as well as
FUSE.
Their album, also titled "Audio & Murder" was
released in November of 2007 under Sinister Muse Records
and was produced by multi-platinum producer Mudrock
(best known for his work with such bands as Godsmack
and Avenged Sevenfold). The Frantic, while they are all
proud of their album, are more than certain that their live
show is probably the best way to get a feel for the band as
a whole. According to Kyle Dee, The Frantic's show is
"high energy" and very interactive with the fans.
You can get a taste of that interaction yourselves.
The Frantic is touring, with plans to spread their sound
across the nation this summer. Check out their tour dates
on their Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/thefrantic.
