Dog Drive Mantis

**Dog Drive Mantis** is a Toronto-based instrumental trio known for their genre-blurring mix of jazz fusion, math rock, and video game-inspired grooves. Formed in 2017, the band—Aaron Gritsuliak (drums), Tom Fleming (bass), and Chris Graham (guitar)—crafts dynamic, high-energy tracks that feel like a joyride through retro gaming soundtracks and modern prog-rock complexity. Their playful nods to gaming culture shine in tracks like “Royal Raceway (Mario Kart 64),” a reimagined banger from the iconic racing game, while releases like *Volta* and *How Did We Get Here?* showcase their knack for tight, intricate compositions and infectious rhythms. With a reputation for electrifying live shows and a love for weaving nostalgia into their technical wizardry, Dog Drive Mantis has become a favorite for fans of inventive, instrumental storytelling.
