SUNDERLAND five-piece Frankie & the Heartstrings are thrilling live. Thankfully, debut album Hunger hasn’t polished away their snappy bare style or frontman Frankie Francis’ distinctive North-Eastern accent. It was recorded at West Heath Studios, produced by Edwyn Collins (quiff-lovers unite!), and is out on Feb 21, when the band play an NME Awards Show at Heaven.
