Hello everyone,

Wonderful news! The BTB split is now available through the iTunes Music Store! We liked putting this one up so much, we are thinking about putting Pirate Radio up there too, possibly remastered with limited edition only-available-online artwork! I think this officially makes us rock stars, so commence the worship.

Hey all, haven't blogged our hearts out in quite a while. Since our last blog we have been on two tours and played some sweet shows with some sweet bands. Also, we just posted two new tracks off our split with the Black Tie Bombers (RIP). Check em out in the player and let us know what you think!

Also, we just added the SNOCAP music store to our site. We have the whole new album for sale, or you can download individual songs. Since we know many of you may not be able to pick up a copy at a show or in stores, we have it all on here! Its cheaper to get the whole thing, but if you would only like a few hit the plus button on the left to check out individual tracks.

As always, let us know if this stuff works for you, what you think of the songs, and what you would like to see in the future. Thanks for being with us.

Greetings! We have finally completed our new cd, Pirate Radio! It is a five song musical collection for a mere three dollars! We all put a lot of work into this cd, as we did all the recording and mastering ourselves. The result was everything we expected and more. So start your blogging engines... pick up a copy and let us know what you think!

Also, if you haven't already, check out our new website: http://www.thefranklproject.com

Good Night and Good Luck,

a Review of Cost of War, taken from www.cincinnatishows.com This might be the surprise local recording of the year. I wasn't expecting much from a band of under-18-year-olds that plays ska/punk/reggae, but damn. Great distinct lead vocals - reminiscent at times of The Specials. The band shines most when they are playing the funkier parts (the ska and reggae), but the distorted parts are decent as well, just less unique. The lyrics are clearly along the "socially-conscious" lines, and although they're not great, some good principles are there, and I'm sure the lyrics will improve as the band grows. The recording is decent, I hear the band is good live, and it's definitely worth picking up this 7-song CD.

Holy crap, last night was so much fun. J Page rocked quite a bit, but the most rocking thing was how many awesome people showed up despite the crappy weather. Like seriously, we have the best friends in the world and so a huge thank you to everyone who could make it out. Hopefully J Page can come back soon, but if nothing else we will keep playing and having fun. Look for a LOAD of new shows coming soon, and check out Cost of War on interpunk.com.

Hey everyone, Thanks so much for all the CD reviews and uplifting comments, we look forward to many more, good or bad, in the future. Don't have the cd yet? you can now pick it up at Everybody's Records on Montgomery rd., Phils Records in Latonia, and Shake-It records in northside. Whether you decide to pick it up there or at one of our shows, $3 from each cd will be given to aid rebuilding and relief efforts in Indonesia through Oxfam, but if you get one from us and would rather use a different charity, please let us know. If you want to give more the relief aswell, we can set up some sort of donation thing at our shows, and we will putting together a benefit soon. In other news, we are all back in town and at school, which is going well, and we are setting up some amazing shows for the next few months you wont want to miss. We also saw the rise against show on monday and it was awesome, its so cool that the Black Tie Bombers can get on shows like that, hopefully their new cd production goes well, Cincinnati is such a great place for music that is so often overlooked, so its great to see local bands on national act bills. Besides that, we are just working on some new stuff and trying to get back into the swing of things, if you have any ideas about shows we should be putting together, suggestions, hate mail, or just wanna rant and rave we would love to hear it. oh...and Pizza Rolls are arguably more addicting than crack...and we would know.

To those of you who got a cd, what do you think? we are looking for some honest reviews and responses, even critical ones, to be posted as replies to this, or if you'd rather keep them private just send us a message. We are excited to hear what you have to say. Merry Christmas! the Frankl Project
