FRANKIE & THE HEARTSTRINGS "hunger" cd,2011. #32 UK
saw these guys on some music show when they released this one, got the album on the strength of one track in a live performance(think it might have been jools holland's show??)
its indi rock that is well rooted back in the nineteen eighties ala Joboxers,Dexys Midnight Runners,Smiths and Orange Juice(edwyn collins) but it doesnt sound forced, sounds honest and in their souls...and as expected there are some really good catchy hooks going on here from these Geordie Lads...
nothing bad on here and two maybe three more that could have got full "***" if i'd been a bit generous, all up very good album, looking foreward to their followup album.
