The Frantics

about

There have been several band that recorded as The Frantics. 1. The Frantics were a 1990s punk band from South Carolina. They had several 7-inch records and appearances on compilation albums. Also released two full length albums before their break-up in 2000. The Frantics toured and/or played shows with bands like AFI, Bouncing Souls, FYP, and Blanks 77. Band members consisted of: Kevin McSwain (vocal/guitar), Anthony Price (bass/vocals), Timmy Campbell (guitar/vocals), Todd Hooks (1st Drummer: 1994 - 1998), Drew Perry (1998 - 2000). In 2005, the band got back together for one last performance at a benefit concert for the ailing club owner who booked them in their heyday. A year later three members (Kevin, Anthony, and Drew) went on to form The Black Kites, who performed a more stripped-down rock sound. They released a four song EP and played shows for nearly two years, ending in 2008. 2. The Frantics were a Seattle based rock and roll / instrumental group that was active between 1956 and 1966. They started out as The Four Frantics in 1955 when guitarist Ron Peterson and accordionist Chuck Schoning started playing together in the seventh grade. After they added a drummer, bassist and sax player to the ensemble, they began performing at teen dances; before long, they were opening shows for national touring acts throughout the Pacific Northwest. The band signed a recording contract with Seattle-based Dolton Records and their first hit was a tune called ‘Straight Flush’, wh
