Welcome to My Music Mondays. I haven’t done one of these in a while but the basic premise is that each week I will be delving into my music collection and looking at a new artist going somewhat randomly currently but eventually from A to Z. I’ll examine why I first started listening to them, my favorite album and my top 10 songs for the artist. As my music collection is pretty extensive and I have a lot of one offs, I have set a qualification to be featured here. That is that I have to have at least two albums of the artist’s music before they can be considered. This week I look at Tantric.

A lot of people will make the argument that music after the grunge movement (post-grunge) is a joke. I am not going to get into the semantic argument of modern day music versus old music as it is all a matter of taste but I for one latched onto a few bands after the grunge era and one of those was Tantric. Formed from the remnants of the rock outfit, Days of the New, along with vocalist Hugo Ferreira, the band enjoyed moderate success over the next six years. The Days of the New guys left the band in 2007 but Ferreira continued the band and hardly a beat was missed, if anything Tantric is actually a better band today than they were when they formed a decade ago.

Favorite Album: Tantric

While I think the band has become better over time my favorite album is still their debut.
