Frantic - 'Conseption" 1968-71

Frantic or "The Frantics" were from non-existant Billings Montana music scene, and received an enormous amount of local success which got them to search other areas for further success. The band went to New York by way of New Mexico, and again established a good following. Despite success ,the band opted to go back to New Mexico in search of a warmer climate, and it was there, in 1968, the band recorded ''Relax Your Mind" in Norm Petty's historic studio in Clovis. (which was shelved until the Collectables Label released it in 1994).
Frantic has been compared to the Yardbirds, the Amboy Dukes, and the Pretty Things. Geared more for an underground audience "Relax Your Mind' stands as a perfectly preserved period piece.
despite frequent lineup changes, "Conseption'' was released after the band had trimmed down their name (to simply ''Frantic") in 1971 for the Lizard Label, which died on the vine. And so went another great band that again, with proper advertisement and label support could've done so much more.
