6-SONG + MUSIC VIDEO COLLECTION BY MANTRA CHOMPERS (SNAPCHAT STORY MICRO-EP #22)

THAt's the the motto of east l.a.'s mantra chompers, perhaps the most punk rock outfit in the history of the pizza puppies collective (sure sure, whatever you say).

known for their raucous live shows where they typically chuck half-eaten apples at their audience, mantra chompers are not fools to be taken lightly. each member also weighs over 300lbs. so you know, that's another, more tangible reason you can't take them lightly.

in fact, the 300lb. threshold is a requirement for membership in the group (which has between 12-88 rotating members and is really, truly more of a collective within a collective). so watch out: sometimes you get the worm, and sometimes you get the core. hardcore, that is.
