Do The Dummy

by The Mants

supported by

Ben Ackley This album is two of my favorite things: garage and punk! It feels like these guys could be relatives of The Mummies, and I'm not just talking about the facial features... Favorite track: I Hate You.

jack tones Why do I love this record?? ..because it's the f***ing Mants, that's why! Favorite track: Just Don't Care.

"Canuck cretins THE MANTS are back with another bug-eyed blast of budget rock bliss. Greasier than the Ramones, THE MANTS take the cruddy skeleton of the Mummies, inject the bratty slop rock squalor of Supercharger and spit it back atcya with the snot-nosed snear of the Rip Offs. Do The Dummy is a raw, pummeling, sonic assault oozing with loud trebley riffs pounding out snarky, righteous gut-bucket, slop-n-roll. A trashy, sweaty, three-chord rager crackling with energy and beaming with boneheaded brilliance. Killer cover art by Darren Merinuk."

about

The Mants Victoria, British Columbia

The Mants are a garage rock trio who perform in suits and rubber ant heads. The Mants play hi-octane B-movie fueled schtick rawk that owes equally to The Sonics, Billy Childish and pulp sci-fi novels from the 50's.

Do The Get Around LP
by Gino And The Goons

supported by 7 fans who also own “Do The Dummy”

SAMF is just dirty & raw with some great punk rock hooks. its a great little song. other standouts for me were Do the Get Around and I'm Your Man. the entire album is enjoyable and fun. I'm even ok with going so far as to call myself a newly discovered Gino and the Goons fan. a few years late on the scene but have been collecting and spinning their vinyl religiously for at least the last 5+ years and i still get excited when new vinyl drops... punkrock1972bp
