Louisville, KY rockers TANTRIC have another Top 10 single on their hands and are approaching Top 5! "Down and Out" jumped up to #7 on the BDS Active Rock Chart this week and continues to gain momentum as the song marches forward at all the Rock Radio formats. "Down and Out" is the first single off Tantric's new record The End Begins, which is out now on Silent Majority Group/ILG. The End Begins debuted at #91 on the Billboard Top 200 in April.
A big Tantric shout out goes out to Tampa Bay Rays All-Star (and shoe in for Rookie Of The Year) Third Baseman, Evan Longoria for using "Down and Out" as his intro music each time he comes to bat at home games.
Background on Tantric:
Tantric was formed by three former members of Days Of The New: Jesse Vest, Todd Whitener, and Matt Taul, with the addition of Merge singer, Hugo Ferreira. They were signed to Maverick Records in 1999, and recorded their self-titled debut with producer Toby Wright in 2000. The record was released in February 2001 and went platinum thanks to the strength of the single "Breakdown" and the band's extensive touring with the likes of Kid Rock and Creed.
Tantric's second Wright produced album, After We Go, was released in February 2004, preceded by the single "Hey Now." Described as heavier than their first record, After We Go debuted at #56 on the Billboard 200.
Between 2005 and 2007, Vest, Whitener and Taul all decided to move on from Tantric, leaving lead singer Hugo Ferreira to start the search for a new band. Ferreira enlisted former Fuel drummer Kevin Miller, Joe Pessia (guitarist Dramagods), Erik Leonhardt (bassist), and Marcus Ratzenboeck (electric violin) as new members of the band. Shortly thereafter, Tantric announced their deal with the Silent Majority Group record label, and their new management company, JHMP.
