FRANKIE & THE HEARTSTRINGS
The band have recently supported both The Vaccines and Kaiser Chiefs on tour and boast a top 40 album. The band come from the great North East of England and attracted the attention of Rough Trade Records after releasing their debut single on their own label Pop Sex Ltd Records in Sept 2009. The following month Rough Trade released double A side 7" single Hunger/Fragile. That month they played their first major tour supporting Florence & The Machine.
In April 2010, the band released their second single "Tender / I Want You Back", recorded with James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco. Further gigging continued throughout 2010 including slots at the Glastonbury Festival, Summer Sundae and Latitude Festival, overseas shows in Europe, New York and Tokyo. Edwyn Collins produced the band’s debut album Hunger, released in the UK on 21 February 2011 via Wichita Records; it charted at No. 32 on the UK albums chart. A non-Hunger-related single, "Everybody Looks Better (In the Right Light)" was produced by Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, Its b-side, "The Way That You Kiss", was produced by Ryan Jarman of The Cribs.
Frankie & The Heartstrings released their second album The Days Run Away earlier this year on Wichita, we think it's great and we're sure you will too, take a listen or buy it via the links below
