About Me

Band bio time folks, where to start hhm? Well Mantra formed in 2001 after the group Something called it quits. Mantra emerged with the help of drummer and engineer Gary Mayhue who left Mantra shortly after the release of Nevolution members of Mantra included Mike Laughlin guitar and vocals, Tim Boucher bass guitar and back up vocals and Gary Mayhue on drums. In 2005 Mike Laughlin joined forces with original Something members Andrew Hilman (drums) Sean Snarr (bass) and Tim Boucher (guitar). The group rehersed at now Mantra drummer Shawn Oulletes’ Core Studio’s and began writing and rehersing new material. Tim, Sean and Andrew left Mantra shortly after and Mike Laughlin and Shawn began recording what would later become songs like "crawling" and "born again". Mike got in touch with Tim Boucher who was then touring with Losers Fight It and passed him some demo’s of "Crawling" and "All Been Done" shortly after which Tim agreed to track Bass on the two songs. While all this was going on, Mike was trying to get in touch with co-founding Something member Jon Belfontaine to make this group complete. Jon was given the same demo’s and agreed to work with Mike, Tim and Shawn recording the rest of the upcomming album. In the winter of 2006 the four were in the studio rehearsing and sounding better than ever. Currently Mantra is booking shows mostly in the Lakes Region venturing further South of NH.
