The track is featured on the band\u2019s sophomore album, &#8216;No Rules&#8217;\u00a0 Order <a href=\"https:\/\/ffm.to\/no-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discussing \u201cMantra,\u201d guitarist\/vocalist Jiffy Marx noted, \u201cOn 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 &#8211; I\u2019d 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 \u2018Mantra&#8217; 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!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Director Ehman added, \u201cThe members of Autogramm and I all have a relationship to skateboarding. The lyrics of \u201cMantra\u201d describe a certain relationship to satori, meditation, focus\/flow, repetition, mind\/no mind, of being in the zone. Things which are felt when skateboarding is good yet are difficult if not impossible to describe using words. The song is a \u2018mantra\u2019. A way of training to be prepared for flow when you need to flow&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pick the album up on Bandcamp <a href=\"https:\/\/autogramm.bandcamp.com\/album\/no-rules-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-15209 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10-1140x1140.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a3627420798_10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Marx, bassist CC Voltage, and Chicago-based drummer The Silo, draw on influences from The Cars, The Go Go&#8217;s, Gary Numan, 20\/20 and Devo. Along with calling Canada, the U.S., UK and Germany home at various points, the band also has a long-standing connection to the art, punk, and skateboarding communities world-wide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Rules keeps with the band\u2019s tradition of crafting singalong pop-anthems, while adding angular elements that are reminiscent of Ghost in the Machine-era Police. For the band, the album title refers less to a no-gods-no-masters set of rules as it does to a no boundaries aspiration. Instead of building walls, they want to build bridges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>D I S C O V E R<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autogramm.band\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.autogramm.band\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618687206627000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHZ5Mwugn-mZnc1T_8agNRuUcNZqw\">Website<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/autogramm.bandcamp.com\/releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/autogramm.bandcamp.com\/releases&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618687206627000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG4qFONpTrY5bZkcB6PIfppTQLtLQ\">Bandcamp<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/autogrammband\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/autogrammband\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618687206627000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGCAOzZq4VCu0S6D1F8MfSOtCji3A\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/autogrammband\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/autogrammband\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618687206627000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFZTO87vRJWNb6vwmZi1zd3howUXg\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Autogrammband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/twitter.com\/Autogrammband&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618687206627000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFv9JtjKi5m5ImXhtHGamQ-HIWEdQ\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/1Yq0GO9ZFd9aK9iKEVNe6D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/1Yq0GO9ZFd9aK9iKEVNe6D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618687206627000&amp;usg=AFQjCNF1Nbeqz9zY98SacGDDMzhUpIe4yw\">Spotify<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCM-YkwLUwK8r5UDgRgTnlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCM-YkwLUwK8r5UDgRgTnlog&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618687206627000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGgt5KIJHzUCLBPwbLA7yrjoDrlQg\">Youtube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUTOGRAMM TAKE YOU A ON TRANSCENDENTAL SKATEBOARDING VOYAGE IN THEIR VIDEO FOR \u201cMANTRA\u201d CREATED BY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR SHAYNE EHMAN &nbsp; Autogramm, the synth-driven, power-pop trio from Chicago and Vancouver premiered a video for their latest single, \u201cMantra\u201d today via Indie 88, created by award-winning director Shayne Ehman (METZ\/Asphalt Watches).
