Franchise is a 5-piece rock band that has just released their finest record! The band (which includes Dan: Vocals, "Gitfiddling pedal operator"; Matt: Guitars and pedals; Keri: Bass and pedals; Waylon: Drums) is described in their own words:Influences: Anyone who worships the sun, or any other noise source.REVIEW:
Sounds like: Progressive cultural train wreck.
Record label: No Money Music
This record, simply titled '3,' is all the best music Sonic Youth, The Butthole Surfers, didn't have the talent to make. The multi-layered, at times dense, record rewards on repeat listens. Let it envelope you with feedback, noises, screams. What makes the record work is a very strong musiclal backbone. The band may also draw comparisons to older material from Mercury Rev or The Flamings Lips, but they soar past those references and deliver something unique and stunning in the process.
RATING: 5 STARS
