Franke

Swedish rock group from Gothenburg. The band is consisting of the brothers Nicklas (vocals and synth) and Fredrik Franke (guitar and vocals), Alexander Hall (bass), Ramo Spatalovic (drums), Robert Eklund (guitar) and former Pontus Wallgren (guitar). The lyrics are sung in Swedish and are characterized by blackness, alienation and problematized love. Musically, Franke belongs in an alternative indie pop groove with hard distorted riffs that in combination with the lyrics signal desperation and rootlessness.
