Artist description
A dynamic ride through power and weakness, franco is beautiful in its predictability, keeping the indie rock roots alive. However, so much more (or less at times) than indie rock, so much more than three power chords and screams, but with obvious sentiment for that time period. |

Artist History
the band started as check your bag in 1997, with jordan on vocals and sax, spoon on drums, and blake poole on bass, with a few other horn players. it wasnt ska though ... sigh. anyways, the bands ultimate demise was brought upon by matthew, when he started the raging penguins and asked spoon to play drums in it. along with a disgruntled bass player, and an incredibly fluxuating lineup of horn players, this ska-rock movement lasted almost a year, well into 1998. however, we had never had a guitar player ... so spoon learned guitar, matthew moved onto bass, brought jordan back for vocals and rhythm guitar, and our good friend drew was was brought to play drums. several style changes, however, forced jordan to keyboards and vocals, and made matthew attempt to sing at times. |
