Over And Over Over And Over
Over It Over It
I Fall I Fall
Sometimes life can be so repetative. We keep making the same mistakes over and over again. You just have to remember that you have to pick yourself back up again, even if it means asking for help.
Til You Cum My Way Til You Cum My Way
This song has been described as a hit waiting to happen. It is not fully produced, but, MHANTRA has just linked with major label producer/engineer Paul Falcone and we are going to be remixing this song (and others) to perfection.

Formed in July of 2001, Mhantra is a new band strongly dedicated to writing melodic rock songs with a strong groove, a can't-get-it-out-of-your-head melody with killer harmonies and meaningful lyrics.
The band members total five, and include Craig Rappaport on lead vocals, Jason Schuman on drums and vocals, Jim Mormile on guitar and backing vocals, Rob Tomasevic on bass guitar and Justin Reinstein on keyboards and vocals.
Mhantra not only continually strives to create, but already possesses a balanced repertoire of powerful songs that go from dark and introspective, upbeat and positive, to hypnotic and heavy.
On one album you will find songs that you can dance to, thrash to, fight to, make love to, sing to and always relate to.
With a goal to perform powerful live shows reminiscent of 80's arena rock, strong hooks you can't seem to get out of your head, meaningful, poetic and honest lyrics and a hard working, dedicated mindset amongst all of the band members, Mhantra is poised to become the next major act of the new millennium.Have you performed in front of an audience?We are gigging regularly in small clubs around Long Island, and we're actually playing our first out of state show in Jersey, on Wednesday September 29th. We've played The Downtown, Maxwell's, Village Pub, Fuzzy Lemon, and Kings Club.
Your musical influences
Bon Jovi, Metallica, Poison, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Def Leppard, Alice in Chains, Brian ilson, Pink FloydWhat equipment do you use?
Pro Tools. Most bands these days would be lost without it.Anything else?
Jason talks about:
Jimmy
He's the quiet one, well... now it's him AND Justin that are the quiet ones. But... just give him a bottle of Jack Daniels and watch him blossom like the spring flower he truly is. I've known this MoFo for 27 f*ckin' years and this band has been our dream for almost 20 of those years! He's the Butthead to my Beavis.
Craig
A hard-working, dedicated singer and frontman with little ego (quite refreshing). Try putting an ad out saying THAT and see who shows up at your door. A great guy and a born frontman.
Justin
A talented young chap. Justin knows his stuff and brings a lot to the table when it comes to songwriting. He's my sanity when it comes to writing harmonies. I love workin' with him and singing some Beatles during our downtime is always very refreshing. And although, yes, he's quiet. Don't piss him off.
Rob
Mr. Acronoym: Hey guys...um...guys... I can't wait to play BCB at the PF this FN (Friday night)? This guy is the definition of the word D-E-D-I-C-A-T-I-O-N. And he's got the "battle scars" to prove it. He'll throw himself down a flight of stairs if he has to, and even rub sand baskets all over his assy nipples to get that damn bass line.
Craig talks about:
Jason
He'll be there late, but he'll be there. His drum playing is always delicious, if only he could stop hitting himself in the nose with his sticks. Suprised it's not broken by now. Partying it up with JD and TQ is always a pleasure. No one's more of an animal on the drums then Jay, now if we can only get him to like a song two weeks in a row....we'll be set.
Jim
Always there to lend me a hand with advice with girls and music. Always uplifting and inspiring. It's amazing how we write such amazing songs. With Jim it's always music first and stupidity second. So many basements....so little time....so many songs.
Justin
What can one say about Justin, other then it's Mr. Pitch Perfect himself. He's always on time to practice, but then again, maybe it's because I pick him up all the time. But all in all, he's a musical genuis....he's the Brian Wilson to my Mike Love.
Rob
You know, I'm so worried with how often Rob gets hurt during practice that one day he will just topple over and fall off the stage. Maybe we should start putting a safety net at our shows. Rob's got the drive, dedication, and it's amazing how fast he's fit into the band.
Jim talks about:
Jason
He's "The Animal"! He's the most fun and crazy kind of guy. Definitely out of his mind. But what do you expect "He beats things with sticks"! My best bud.
Craig
Most of the time I wonder if Craig is from another planet. But that's what we love about him. You never know what will come out of his mouth, but when you hear it, you're always amazed.
Justin
Even quiter then me, thank you!! Amazing song writer and musician we always have a great time together, I look forward to a long future of recording and playing live shows with Justin.. " just dont piss him off " I warned you...
Rob
The nicest guy in the world, always willing to go out of his way for any of us, very refreshing to find a normal bass player without an attitude. Now if we can just get him to wear his purple spandex pants from 1988..love ya man!!!
Rob Talks About:
Jason
First things first, awesome drummer, and part 1 of Mhantra's rhythm section. From what I can see, a very "Tommy Lee " type of drummer, powerful and energetic. Jason is the type of guy that would pat you on the back, when you get a part right. Never negative about Mhantra, only optimistic and positive. He's my sanity.
Jimmy
Jimmy is very easy to get along with, very patient and is my " Shock Buddy ". Him and I always seem to give each other electrical shocks at practice. Great guitarist, very 80's, but that is something I have missed all these years.
Craig
Craig is a wild man and a very energetic frontman. He is the kind of person that can get the crowd going and keep them interested in the show. Craig always seems to have mic cords on the floor, right where I'm walking. "Hey craig, I spilled my blood for you", lol.
Justin
When I first met Justin, I didn't know what to expect, I had no idea that he was such a great musician. He is the kind of guy that will sit there before, durring, and after practice, to help me understand parts of a song. He keeps me together on a lot of the songs.
Justin talks about:
Craig
This kid can write the hell out of a song. I don't know how the hell he hits those high notes... he must have been castrated as a child. Always fun to practice with. He's the Mike Love to my Brian Wilson.
Jay
My fellow Beatles fan, and my entreprenurial mentor. Man, I don't know how he does some of the fills he does on those drums! We sing some great harmonies together. One day we should kill Craig so we get featured up front more.
Jim
Yo Jim, my mic stand is broken .. I have an old toe nail, some loose change, and aContact

Mhantra, in my opinion, is one of the top Long Island bands, can't seem to understand why they aren't signed to a Major Label.
Can't wait to see Mhantra play live again
