Autogramm released their sophomore LP No Rules this past April via Nevado Records. The effort coincided with a Shayne Ehman (METZ/Asphalt Watches) directed video for the track “No Mantra.” The group itself is comprised of guitarist/vocalist Jiffy Marx (Hard Drugs, Blood Meridian), bassist CC Voltage (Dysnea Boys, Loyalties, Black Halos, and Spitfires), and drummer The Silo (Black Mountain, Lightning Dust, and Destroyer). Discussing the group’s track “Mantra,” the Marx explains:
“On our first tour to Mexico we flew in on a red eye flight then partied all night every night for a week. It was super fun but my internal clock never really adjusted – I’d be up until 3 or 4am every night and then waking at 7am, which is when I usually get up at home. The lyrics for ‘Mantra’ are literally a mantra I made up to help clear my mind on those mornings when every part of me except my stupid brain knew that I needed more than 3- or 4-hours sleep!”
