| The Franklys - Puppet |
Release Date: 7th April 2014
Bugger. I always try to shy away
from using gender as a genre but there is no avoiding the fact that The Franklys
consist are an all-girl rock'n'roll band who know their way around their
instruments. Why it should matter that they have different body parts to the
majority of the rock'n'roll fraternity I don't know but I guess we're not quite
'there' yet as a society. Anyway, regardless of which side the buttons on their
shirts are, the Franklys come armed with new single 'Puppet' which is full of
dirty guitar riffs, drums that teeter on the edge of control and vocals that
almost make the spit fly from the speakers. There's a 50's rock'n'roll feel to
the overall song but within that are moments of 21st century indie-rock with
big, echo laden guitar solos battling with cutesy handclaps before the repeated
refrain of "You never wanted me" is screeched out like the last
desperate attack of a wounded and jilted lover on a Saturday night in Camden.
Blisteringly impressive stuff and now battling with the September Girls for my
favourite all-girl band of the moment. Bugger, I've done it again...
