Artist History This is Steve Tobin's solo work. Steve is the Guitariat/Singer/Song-Writer of the Indie Rock Trio - The Mentals in Austin, TX. These rare recordings appear on The Mentals debut: "Oh Well" Steve was involved in a major car-wreck in the summer of 1998. He broke some of the Bones in his left arm as well as left hand. So, needless to say, The Music was put on "Pause" for a few years. He recieved metal bone replacement surgery in/on his arm and hand and is now back, KICKING AND SCREAMING! The reason these songs are available is because this is what he accomplished before the wreck. He figured it better to release it! Rather than have it sitting on the shelf, with no one able to hear it. So anyway, I hope you either dig or relate to the music
