At MNN you will not find any elitism and our opinions will not be bought. If we think something is amazing, we'll shout it from the rooftops. Similarly, if we think something is shit we'll say so.

Ropetree is made up of four army ants plotting a way to take down a praying mantis. You can only duct tape the anger and life frustration so long. When the volcano erupts you get Ropetree! 

This band is selling candy coated poison, collecting addicts and killing the non-believers with unexpected purity. Their songs that range from a heartfelt confession to hard, in your face rock served with a side of pop-esque sarcasm. 

Nothing has been given to these guys. They have earned every ounce of their respect by taking the long and painful road to nowhere, proving they do it because they love it. 

They want it all but they want it their way.

The Hive-Mind is pushing the boundaries of progressive rock while pushing themselves in the process.
