FRANKLIN is the melodic, doomy, tension-building riff-machine your nightmares have been waiting for. Hailing from the isolated north in Whitehorse YT, this two-piece metal-menace born in the bleak heart of a world pandemic features Kirsty Wells (Whitehorse YT) and Evan Joel (Vancouver BC). While Kirsty screams melodically harsh vocals and slams the fuzz and distortion-fuelled bass, Evan’s raspy support vocals and drums hit hard enough to make knuckles and ears bleed. FRANKLIN reflects the often under-sung desolation, mania, and limitlessness typical of the vast north.
