about

Originally released on cassette in spring of 1994, New Ben Franklins' sophomore release showed the band moving in a more rock and roll direction while holding to their literary and art rock roots. Covers of songs by Joy Division and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry rounded out an album of DeVoe-penned originals. The remix of previous radio single "William" came as a pleasant and hilarious uplifting finish to an otherwise dark record.

released March 15, 2019

you betrayed me with a kiss
and with a woman's sweetened guile
you tore my heart out of my chest
and crushed it with great style
you killed me with your sugared words
and with your sparkling smile
you led me to the slaughter
you were laughing all the while

Franklins are . David DeVoe- guitar and vocals . Malcom Tent - vocals . Andy Harris - bass . George Edwards - drums . Balaam - drums .
