Introducing: Frankie And The Heartstrings

Hello Chums,We'd just like to start by telling you that were starting a series of blog posts called 'Introducing:...' in which we will be sharing our love for big, small and inbetweeny British Bands. Enjoy!

Frankie and the Heartstrings are an Indie-Rock band based in Sunderland. Their career kicked off in 2008 and their popularity has continued to grow and blossom into a small but fabulous following of loving fans, who all share a 'hunger' for their talent, blowing their fans away at their intimate and lively gigs, creating fabulous music and altogether being a group of  talented musicians  . With songs such as 'Everybody Looks Better (In The Right Light)' and 'Hunger', they have not failed to replicate the sound of angels and satisfy our 'Hungry' appetite for good music along many others craving the same.  

Frankie and The Heartstrings have released 2 albums, first being there debut album 'Hunger' in 2011 and their second, 'The Days Run Away' not so long ago in June 2013. Although their new album is praiseworthy beyond belief, our appetite for 'Hunger' is ever present, being, in our opinions, their very best. The album Hunger, featuring the songs such as Tender, Possibilities and Photograph is a perfect combination of rhythmic melodies and melodic rhythms that would satisfy the unsatisfyable and please the unpleaseable.

 Not only have '... The Heartstrings' impressed us with their glorious symphonies, they have also stunned us with their entrepreneurial mind-sets, opening a record shop in Sunderland and also providing us with the record label 'Pop Sex LTD'. They have also made several podcasts which are available on iTunes and are really entertaining to listen to!
Frankie and the Heartstrings are a band that introduce you to the beautiful sounds not dissimilar to the likes  of  Orange Juice, Dexy's Midnight Runners and many more along the lines. And being being a band produced by Edwyn Collins, Ryan Jarman of the Cribs and Suede guitarist Bernard Butler their talent does not surprise us in the least.
