FRANKIE & THEHEARTSTRINGS: http://frankieandtheheartstrings.com/

Newly released single is another gem from the boys from Sunderland. Remember we told you about their first couple of releases a month or so ago. The new single is a double “A” side; Tender/Want you back. Both tracks are superb but don’t take my word for it. Go buy the single from their own record label POP SEX LTD. (POPSEX020) http://popsexltd.com/

Listen to the track at their myspace account; http://www.myspace.com/frankietheheartstrings or go to youtube; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29A5jD2Hz4U and view the video. In this technological age there is no need for me to try and tell you what it sounds like when you can click your mouse and hey presto its there for you to behold!!!!

Keeping with their own tradition they have made this another limited edition. There are only 888 copies and they are selling like the proverbial stotties!!!! They have also used another photo taken by Keith Pattison.  http://www.keithpattison.com/ His excellent collection of photos from the Miners Strike in 1984 is again where Frankie and friends take inspiration. The northernline has been in touch with Keith and we are looking to do a feature on him later in the year when he releases his book on the strike. The book is hopefully due in July and contains an intoduction and commentary from David Peace (Damned United/Red Riding/GB84) no less!!! Well worth having a look at. More details when we have them.

Finally the boys are out and about on tour. Catch them here;

The Northernline will be at Middlesbrough live on Sunday June 6th so look out for a review of Frankie & TheHeartstrings.
