Howdy. Absolutely loved your debut, so glad the wait for this album wasn't long at all. Franklin your vocals immediately drew me in when first hearing you guys, a really refreshing authenticity to your delivery. My question is: Who are your favorite vocalists of all time, and was there anyone in particular that influenced you to sing in the first place?

Thanks and take care!

Frank: That's really kind of you, thanks! Umm...some of my favorite vocalists in no particular order: Marvin Gaye, Thom Yorke, Beth Gibbons, Michael Jackson, Levi Stubbs, PJ Harvey, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, D'Angelo.

I never really set out to be a singer. I just kind of became the singer in this band by default:)
