Los Frankies released their debut LP, D.E.D. City, on March 6 to an outpouring of intrigue and excitement from critics and fans alike. The LA rockers—guitarist/vocalist Frankie Clarke (of Frankie and the Studs) and frontman/guitarist Frankie Salazar—arrive defiant and unflinching, earning early comparisons to the New York Dolls and the Johnny Thunders–era Heartbreakers. Initial buzz points to their undeniable swagger, dangerous edge, and infectious, no-bullshit energy.

Sleazy, swaggering, and unapologetically raw, Los Frankies channel rock in its purest form on D.E.D. City, pulling from the grit of ’70s punk, indie sleaze, stoner, and alternative rock. Tight instrumentation and sharp songwriting anchor the record, while its unfiltered attitude delivers a fresh jolt to classic punk spirit.

With D.E.D. City, Los Frankies aren’t here to play it safe—they’re here to prove rock music can still be dangerous, defiant, and very much alive..

STAY TUNED FOR MORE.
