If you’re bursting with excitement already, here’s a taster of what is to come (reviewed by Shindig! Magazine):
“London multinationalistas The Franklys inject some fire into the start of 2013. Cliches about girls rocking out can be awfully awful when written by white men, and anyway it would never do justice to the excitement of the performances on this limited edition EP, their first release. They, in essence, give us an atmospheric indie rock bred on a diet of authentic 70s and 80s punk rock and pop.The hardcore riffs and booming drums of opener ‘Weasel’ are slap bang in Arctic Monkeys/QOTSA territory, but filtered through the pop nous of, say, The Runaways or The Ramones. The chorus is sharp and powerful, the words portraying the agonised excitement of being young and in and out of love. Straight away you’ll find the vocals of Swedish singer Jennifer Ahlkvist brings to mind Siouxsie Sioux in her no-holds-barred prime. ‘Imaginarium’ is more reminiscent of the classic 80s Anglo- American indie sound the Pixies, early New Order, and (more recently) Interpol trademarked, and they capture its anxious energy wonderfully. This worldview is extended and brought up to date on ‘Some People Leave’, its punk funk rhythms bringing The Rapture to mind. If its sounding all a bit schizophrenic do not fret, it all fits together just right and the songs effortlessly flow.
This is classic old school rock, this is riotous girl rebellion…above all, this is frankly something you should be getting yourself some of.”
