MENTAL

Band Name: Mental

City: Boston, Massachusetts
Country: USA
Active: No
Influences: 
Record Label: BRIDGE NINE / LOCKIN´ OUT
Bio: MENTAL is hardcore. MENTAL is straight edge. Bustin' out Righteous Jams* circa 2001, it didn't take scene junkies long to get wise and decipher the difference between talk and walk. Mental practices the latter. Avid scholars of NYHC, Old Boston and the like, Mental poses not. Mental preaches not. Minus your bullshit fashion, plus your creepy crawly equals Mental. This jam is Mental so get an oxygen tank.
