Frantix was a punk band in the early 80s in Colorado. They were opening act before The Who in Denver, 1983. There were two 7″ singles in 1982-83, then they evolved into the grunge band The Fluid. All studio tracks, along with rare, unreleased live and demo songs will be released in one by Alternative Tentacles in April. Good rattling garage punk like Killdozer, Flipper, Cirlce Jerks and many others

Art rockers’ surreal case

In accordance of the new „Made in America” act the Federal Trade Commission barred export of their new album, titled: „We’re an American Band” in 2005. Under the legislation, companies advertising products with the term „America”, „American”, „US” or USA” must file certification documentation that „all or virtually all” of the product-including processing and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. Since the band claimed „we are an American band” so the FTC is required proof of national origin of each band member. They refused it. Otherwise the „We’re an American Band” is a big hit by Grand Funk Railroad. By the MX-80

„Akimbo was a Seattle rock band. We played real hard, real loud, and crushed shit all over the world. The members continue to play kick ass shit in other bands and still think indie rock sucks.”
