Steve Tobin here - Singer/Song-writer of the Indie Rock Power Trio,
The Mentals. After a few complications (car-wreck, eviction, girl-friend problems. You know - the usual), we are once again an Austin-based Band. We formed in 1998, played out all over Texas. Some highlights include: “Punk Fest 98” on Fat Cock Records & a Raw Records showcase with “Ultrasonic.” Then hit a fork in the road, took 2 years off (physical therapy after car-wreck), re-formed and started playing out again in 2001 kicking ass & taking names!

Our sound has been described as -

"Take Nirvana, Social Distortion, and early Blink 182. Throw them into a Blender and… BAMB, You have The Mentals! Indie Rock not to be Missed.” – C.F.

We have Independently Released our 1st Indie Rock CD: The Mentals – “Oh Well”

“Every song leaves you with the immense desire to trash your house or run your car
into a tree. The release that is felt through this music is excellent. This is
definitely a live band and I'm sure a band that would provide excellent
entertainment.” - Michael Allison (TheGlobalMuse.com)

“At some point, judging from this pleasureslab, these boys will be bigger than Bob and you'll be kicking yourself for passing this by. Unless you don't pass it by, of course…”
- Bryan Baker (Gajoob.com)

Some Influences include: Social Distortion, Automatic 7, The Get Up Kids, Weezer, Radish, Black Flag, The Descendents, Face to Face, The Alkaline Trio, and Nirvana.

Steve Tobin - Guitar/Vocals, Billy Throttle - Bass, Breeze Rendon - Drums

We are an extremely Hardworking and Dedicated Musicians that realize that playing in a band is not all fun and games, it is a passion that gives back to you exactly what you put into it. Our music comes from the heart and soul of us. Above all else, BEING A GREAT LIVE BAND!!!
