Band: Frankie Sunwagon
In less than 50
words describe your music, your band and yourself.
I’m the bassist for the
dream-punk Adelaide band Frankie Sunwagon. Personally, my music playing and song
writing draws influence from goth rock, 2000’s emo and nu-metal (think My Chemical
Romance meets The Cure meets Evanescence) and the band overall also combines
elements of shoegaze indie rock and pop-punk. _________________________________________________________________________________
