Looking to expand on the sound of his debut album, “Save Yourself,” Drew Mantia has introduced influences like John Mayer and Maroon 5 to electronic elements and irresistible grooves on his second release, “Some Assembly Required” (released 6/1/10). This mix of organic pop rock and R&B with futuristic sounds looks to secure Drew Mantia a special niche in the pop rock world. The successes of “Save Yourself,” such as being invited to perform at Six Flags Mid-America theme park, a TV feature on the St. Louis Fox affiliate, and opening performances for national acts the Flobots and Slightly Stoopid, pave the way for the Drew Mantia Band to spread the sounds of “Some Assembly Required” in 2010.
