Swedish pop-punk band with a flair for infusing power chords with new wave and disco, Frankley Everlong surfaced in 2009 as a straight-up punk band. The band’s intention is to combine elements of different types of music and create something new.
“We´ve been working on our sound for several years, trying to mix different types of music together,” says guitarist and vocalist Tommy Carlsson. “I love music… especially punk, disco, and heavy new wave synth. We combine different elements of these genres, mix it up, and create something new“.
Frankley Everlong released their debut album Songs for the Broken on October 31, 2014. Looking for a unique spot in the scene, Tommy Carlsson began merging new wave synths and disco beats into the mix, which led up to the release in 2019 of their full-length album “Till the Dance Do Us Part” on American-based Eclipse Records. “Our debut album was important to us, it pushed us in the right direction,” says Tommy “but I wanted the sound to be even more defined."
In the Summer of 2018 Frankley Everlong landed a deal with American indie label Eclipse Records (Mushroomhead, Bobaflex, A Breach of Silence). “Till the Dance Do Us Part was a big thing for us as a band” says Tommy. I think that “Till The Dance..” was a huge step when it comes to the sound that we are looking for." The album was well received by the critics with its playful balance between punk and electronics.
In 2019 Tommy started to write new material that will come to be the third album with an urge to fuse the synth wave and punk even further. “I was very strict with myself when writing this album,” says Tommy. “I wanted every track to be a hit song and if one song had one part that I didn't feel like it was a part of a hit, then I trashed the entire song. When the time came to begin to plan the release of “Things of Evil” the band decided to go independent and “Things of Evil” was released on May 7 2022.
