Tantric was formed when Todd Whitener, Matt Taul and Jesse Vest split with frontman Travis Meeks aka Days of the New. The three men pushed on and were not going to give up on music. They found Hugo Ferreira and had what they needed. Signing with Maverick Records Tantric put out their Self Titled album in 2001 and After We Go in 2005. Jesse Vest has since left the band to be with his family. Tantric has replaced Jesse with Bruce LaFrance. As of right now Tantric is searching for a new label, as they and Maverick agreed to end their deal. Keep an eye out for the new album coming out soon!
