Mantric Hatters

About Me


A three piece from Manchester, Mantric Hatters have been playing our unique blend of blues, funk and rock since summer 2006. At the moment we're writing new material and gigging around the Manchester area, so if you like the sound of our music then come on down to the next show!
"As if from the Rage Against the Machine school of rocking out came Mantric Hatters with their aggressive mix of fast-paced fretboard fluidity and bluesy overtones they set the stage alight. With some truly impressive Tom Morello-esque solos, and a bassist who well and truly punished the strings the fast-established and polished yet charming garage jam-band created an amazing sound. The vocals were gruff, the drumming was mental and their attitude was spot-on. With their Rage and Chillis influence clearly showing, they proved themselves as highly talented individuals who are aiming high. It was tremendous to watch."
- Tim Brookes, 2008
Thank you to every single person in these photos, and to anyone else who has supported us so far - YOU ROCK!!
