Frankie & the Heartstrings

The North East has brought us a wealth of meticulous, jerky, precise music in recent years, but Frankie & the Heartstrings come from a messier generation. They call to mind gropes as varied as the Rumple Strips (the effusion), Wile Beasts (the eccentricity) and the Drums (the floppy indue hair). With their jaunty guitars, feel-good songs and passionate lyrics we can’t wait them to see them this summer in Victoria Park.
