	Cincinnati CityBeat : 03/31/2004 : Days of Tantric
		As Tantric, the group signed with Madonna's Maverick label and put together their eponymous debut album in 2001, resulting in a string of successful singles ("Breakdown," "Mourning" and "Astounded") and a platinum album as well as a constant slate of touring opportunities and TV, soundtrack and commercial appearances over the past two years.
		Tantric's two solid years of touring left them little time to write new material which proved to be problematic when the time came to consider directions for the second album.
		After much research, and with the band no closer to a cover decision, Ferreira suggested a plan; he reached for a small clock radio in their hotel room and announced that whatever song was playing when he turned it on would be the song they would cover.

		Tantric's lead singer, Hugo Ferreira, has been quoted as saying "I was actually always in karaoke bars hangin' out with drunks and singing Frank Sinatra tunes", this had me worried.
		Tantric continues to have their rock style that they did with Days of the New, but they mix it up a little bit by having more digital effects in some of their cuts.
		Tantric is definitely one of those bands that you can sit back and enjoy not just the musical content, but understand the lyrics as well.

	Tantric - Tantric Music Review \| sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Tantric - The post-grunge outfit Days of the New rocked heavy in 1998 with their major-label eponymous debut and the singles "Solitude" and "Touch, Peel and Stand," and the boys from Louisville, KY, quickly absorbed the fast success and MTV's praise.
		The bands music is sort of a heavy, alternative - rock sound bursting with beautiful melodies on acoustic guitars, and their debut tells more of a story then their sophomore album, After We Go.
		Breakdown - Begining with a signature guitar riff by Whitener, the bands first single is a mess of acoustic and electric guitars, heavy rhythms, powerful choruses, and raspy vocals.

	OZRIC TENTACLES Tantric Obstacles review
		They had two keyboardists, one being Joie Hinton (who stayed with the band until 1994), and Tom Brookes (who left not too long after this album, only to reappear as a guest on "Erpland"), and guitarist Ed Wynne's brother Roly was the bassist.
		Also the band was basically in their infancy and released their second cassette, "Tantric Obstacles" in 1985, the same year as "Erpsongs".
		This isn't some cassette released on some label, this was a band doing all by themselves, bought a batch of 90 minute blank tapes, get someone by the name of Blim to do the cover artwork, and photocopy all this stuff.

	Tantric interview, Tantric CD, After We Go
		Hailing from Louisville, KY, Tantric formed a few years when Days of the New replaced its lead singer with Detroit native Hugo Ferreira, who was in a local Detroit band that had impressed several of the members when they opened for Days of the New.
		The result is a polished collection of songs that resembles bands such as 3 Doors Down and a harder-edged Creed, bands they are currently touring with and have toured with, respectively.
		Upon closer inspection, Tantric is a no-frills rock band that goes about their business like someone might approach a typical day job.

	Tantric's Pain, Pal Nuno Bettencourt Help Create 'Hey Now'
		http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1483977/20031230/tantric.jhtml Post-grungers Tantric had already been in the studio for two lengthy recording sessions for their new album, After We Go, when their label insisted they return and try again.
		Like the songs from the band's self-titled 2001 album, the music is filled with vocal harmonies reminiscent of Alice in Chains, and folksy acoustic guitar strumming balanced by distorted rock riffs.
		Throughout, the band lays a foundation of acoustic rock, then dirties it up with surging wah-wah, fuzzy showers of distortion and full-fisted beats.

		And then there are the bands that base their whole career on producing derivative, uninspired drivel - the bands who should have stopped after one record (or better yet, stopped before they even started) but continue to make records that are just plain bad.
		The band fought and lead singer Travis Meeks, who had a voice that was undeniably similar to that of Jim Morrison, began to show the traits of the Lizard King and began to abuse his power as the group’s leader.
		Tantric is a band with nothing interesting or valid to say, and no way of saying it without resorting to stealing from the musicians that defined the early nineties.

		Finally, while the band members were gathered in one room, Ferreira decided a decision had to be made.
		The group is formed from the ashes of Louisville, Ky.-based band Days of the New and Ferriera's Detroit group Merge, which had toured together.
		Tantric may never cover another Fleetwood Mac song, but there's no telling what might influence the group, considering what its members listen to.

		The Hard rocking TANTRIC went from strength to strength (in a Rockmungus kind of a way), with well attended gigs in London and South East England, Festival appearances in Germany and Eire.
		It took the band a while to resolve, but it was done, in a very gentlemanly way...no sneering demands, threats, cursing, weeping or other outlandish behaviour.
		A drummer was found and as 2001 drew to a close, with Tantric now a distant memory, CANDYHEADS stepped out for the first time as a band with a series of shows in London.

		While listening to the album reveals that Tantric's success is mostly the result of their collective musical talent, the band still finds itself constantly mentioned in context with Days of the New.
		Tantric have certainly come a long way in accomplishing the difficult task of proving themselves as a strong band in their own right, detached from projects of the past.
		Tantric are tentatively planning to record their second album after finishing their headlining tour in early April, with plans to release it later this year.

	Tantric
		With the help of producer Toby Wright (Korn, Alice in Chains), Tantric’s sonic presence is captured with a clear artistry and style that’s not often heard on rock records.
		At the same time vulnerable and armored, Tantric raises the standards of radio rock with intentional musicianship and lyrics backed by a megaton powerhouse rhythm section.
		Tantric emerges from the crowd not because of a particularly original sound or approach but because they actually know how to play their instruments well and they can express themselves in dynamic, multifaceted ways.

		What these bands had in common was a wide base of influences to draw from, as well as shying away from 80’s metal as a principle.
		Tantric’s Hugo Ferriera’s lyrics are metaphorically and experientially deficient.
		Tantric and their neo-grunge cohorts should reexamine their mode of production and spend some more time and effort in actually making each song stand out, other than simply starting a song without drums.

		I hope they continue to explore their music together and grow as a band, because if this first album is any indication of what's to come it's going to be one hell of a ride.
		Tantric was one of the great bands of this era of what I like to call "mature alternative rock."
		The kids who listened to Tantric (such as myself) who are now in college and who weren't listening to the Backstreet Boys at the time were assumed to have fallen into the next musical fad (emo/screamo/Elmo/whatever the kids are listening to these days).

		Tantric singer Hugo Ferreira says that the more than two years the quartet spent touring after its first album came out have been nothing but beneficial.
		It's been going for Tantric, whose self-titled 2001 debut CD sold nearly 1 million copies and scored a major hit with "Breakdown." Its Alice in Chains-influenced sound was such a hit that the band stayed on the road longer than expected.
		Though the band sounds like the melodic spawn of Alice in Chains, known for its gloomy, droning 90s rock anthems, and it worked again with former Alice producer Toby Wright, who produced the first Tantric album, Ferreira said they prefer to spread a more upbeat message.
