Franckie IV Fingers – Volume II


Franckie IV Fingers – Volume II
Self released – 2014
Rock, Stoner, Metal
Rated: ****

Frankie fuckin four fingers is back and ready to do a smash ‘n grab! Cause on their second album aptly named Volume II the French foursome Franckie IV Fingers have perfected their motoring rock sound and are ready to escape with the loot. Just like on their first album Shut Up And Drive we can easily hear where the boys stole the mustard. But this is grade A mustard, the kind of mustard that comes straight out of the hidden cupboards of France, and we cannot get enough of it. And they speed through the landscape with their hands full of the good stuff and with high powered energy and an uncompromising attitude. They have grown, almost larger than life, but without losing sight of the ground. There is no losing it on the curves here, hell, there are no curves, this is straight on, Bourbon guzzling, high testosterone stoner speed rock. And the boys would do well to see if they could play on Speedfest this year… I for one am gonna suggest them to the organizer and hope to see them there!

Franckie IV Fingers – Shut Up And Drive


Franckie IV Fingers – Shut Up And Drive
Self released – 2011
Rock, Stoner, Metal
Rated: ****


Frankie fucking four fingers has a stone the size of a fist! And the French freaks from Franckie IV Fingers have pure gold in the form of highly addictive angry rock! Founded in 2008 in a town called Montpellier the four guys recorded their first album Shut Up And Drive last year. Taking inspiration from Queens Of The Stone Age, Motörhead, Foo Fighters and AC/DC. It’s an ode to all eighties and nineties heavy rock. Cause these freaks have squeezed every full power riff they could muster into ten tracks that swing like a mad roller coaster ride. It has the energy of a buffalo on speed and beats every song with absolute efficiency into your skull. And their apparent disorder in rhythm and structure adds to the irresistible charm of all these fast-driving tunes. Get this album, turn up the volume and enjoy the hell out of it. It is a safe bet; but be careful… Cause you know what happens when you start gambling with the wrong kind of people…
