  Iota - New Mantis
Download   |  

Originally formed in 2002 as your typical basement-variety band of drunks making loud noise after work and on weekends. A working band; never taking shortcuts, dabbling in the dark arts with mixed results - Iota has since evolved into its own unique blend of melody and psychedelic bliss.

Hundreds of shows, scattered demos, and several line-up changes, Iota is still doing their thing: shaking walls with their spaced-out brand of rock n' roll steeped in blues, coated heavily with vintage psych guitar rock, and rolled in some metal for extra flavor. With a catalog ranging from high-speed madness, to lumbering, crushing space jams, Iota's live shows never disappoint.

Iota's first demo EP was included in Salt Lake City Weekly's "Top 50 Best Albums" of 2004. 2 years later, their second demo, Frankenstein Earphone Radio God, was included in the City Weekly's top 75 albums of 2006.
