Frankie Teardrop Dead’s influences are a lot like their band members, plucked from different time periods and gathered from all over the world, spliced together in a melting pot of reverb, delay and vintage tambourines.
In the two years the band has been together, they’ve written and recorded their first album “Better than some, worse than others”, gigged many venues in the fair city of London, exchanged a few band members, and brought good vibes and sweet music to the earholes of anyone who cared to listen.
Responsible for these soul-soothing sounds reminiscent of Brian Jonestown Massacre and John Lennon are lead singer and rhythm guitarist Ben Jimenez, who along with backing vocalist and percussionist Carling Vail remain the founding members of the group. Providing the ethereal psychedelic lead lines is lead guitarist Sofiane Flamant, with the groovy backbone of the band coming from bassist Ben Stevens and many drummers
With a second album in the works and their individual brand of psychedelic shoe gaze gaining them more fans by the day, Frankie Teardrop Dead are set to continue their journey into the infra-sounds.
