[LISTEN] Franklin - Blueberry Sky

Franklin have unveiled their second track lifted from their upcoming EP. "Blueberry Sky" was part-revealed a month ago with a teaser and the full track has certainly lived up to my expectations. It's a dreamy track, with washes of wallowing guitar lines and atmospheric sounds to send you into another dimension.

If you could imagine The Neighbourhood's West coast feel crossed with Ben Howard's atmosphere then you've basically got what Franklin are trying to achieve, a real delight for your ears. Head on down, check it out and vote for them in the Boardmasters competition.

[LISTEN] Franklin - Causes

The trio from St. Albans have revealed their lead track off their brand new EP "Blueberry Sky", it's called "Causes" and is one of their most well rounded tracks yet. The EP was recorded in The Pigeon Detectives' studio after the Leeds band saw them perform in Hertford's Forum back in 2015.

The track has such an anthemic feel to it with big guitar lines, vocal hooks and a driving drumbeat that'll certainly get you in the mood for a good grooving. Franklin's new EP is out soon, but to tease you a bit they're offering this up as a free download, what nice guys!

Be sure to keep an eye out for their tour scrapbook which will be on our site next week!

NEWS: Friendly Fires - Pala, details and more!

Friendly Fires were one of the bands of 2009. Stars of the NME Tour that featured White Lies and Florence + The Machine, the groups debut album was a delight, and even picked up a Mercury nomination along the way. Today, they announced the release of their second studio-album, ‘Pala’. 'Live Those Days Tonight' is the first single taken from the album. The track received its first play on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 on 22 March 2011.



The track sees the band take their disco-punk origins and taking them to the next level. This is the type of track you’d definitely hear at a club or party. I am really into this track and can not wait to get tickets to see them live, and especially the album too!

You can really see this song being played alongside 'Paris', 'Jump In The Pool' and 'Skeleton Boy' in the live sets, yes I am probably excited to say the least that a local band to me has made yet another great track (Morning Parade for example...).
