This special 'Hot Topic Maul Tour' celebrates The Frantic's year of success in support of Audio & Murder and offers fans a chance to interact with the band in an intimate setting. The dates will take the band through their extended hometowns in the midwest including most Hot Topic stores in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana that have helped to propel them to the national stage.

"We are very excited to be part of this tour and to again have the chance to play for our awesome fans in the areas where we have grown so fond of performing," says The Frantic front man Kyle Dee. "We look forward to literally sitting down with our fans and playing our music in a more intimate way and talking about what the songs mean to us. Our fans are very special to us and this is a great opportunity to get to know them on a more personal level. Maybe we'll even do some shopping together!"

In addition to the Hot Topic in-store dates, The Frantic have also confirmed special appearances in Austin, TX this month. The band will perform three separate sets on Saturday, March 21 including showcases at 219 West (2:30PM), The Texas Rock Fest Outdoor Stage @ 7th & Trinity (5:30PM), and Dizzy Rooster (8:00PM) as part of the RedGorilla Music Fest.
