Biography

The Mr. T Experience are a punk-pop band from Berkeley, California who formed in the 1980s. Taking their name from professional wrestler, bouncer-turned-actor and television personality Mr. T, The Mr. T Experience, or “MTX”, create primarily pop-punk music featuring a mixture of comedic, satirical, and romantic lyrics. They emerged from the same Gilman Street Project/Lookout! Records pop-punk scene that also produced other notable acts, including Green Day and Operation Ivy.

With nearly each album, however, their lineup has continually shifted — with front man Dr. Frank (real name Frank Portman) now remaining as the only original member of the group. MTX are also best known for introducing just about every live song with the line, “This is a song about a girl…”.

Their most recent album, “Yesterday Rules”, was released in 2004.

    It's been far too long since I've last listened to MTX. Feels good to listen to them after so long.

    I think is ´cause the quote is cool. Any of the tracks in "Love is dead" are better.

    Somebody knows why the song Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend is more popular than the others?

    milk milk lemonade is by far their best album. the rest is rather mediocre (though love is dead gets better towards the end).

    Making Things With Light will always be my favourite record of MTX. And my favourite record of my whole collection for a long time!
