About the Artist
It is difficult to categorize Frankly Speaking into any one or even three genres. The sounds Frankly produce range from piano pop vocal to acoustic guitar, and everything in between. Frankly Speaking describes their sound as a combination of Death cab for cutie and Ben Fold's, with some jam band and acoustic folk rock influence. Listeners may appreciate the rarity that no two songs sound alike on there three albums. Their first album, “Edit, Undo” debuted in June of 2007 and contains the track, “Wasting All My Time.” This track was not only included in two CD compilations, but was also nominated for “best punk vocal” at the L.A. Music Awards. These accolades are well deserved, as this band has worked vigorously to develop their musical skills, not only creatively, but instrumentally as well. Frankly Speaking’s various mediums of expression provide a great range and likelihood of connecting to their listeners. “If you can paint a picture well enough to show your listeners exactly what you were feeling/thinking when you wrote or recorded a song, then you really have something' says Front man and songwriter Jordon Schneider. Frankly Speaking Just finished their 3rd album entitled, "Apart From How We Feel" and it is already at work on their 4th. Check out Frankly Speaking at myspace.com/franklyspeaking0 and on iTunes.
