Frank the Baptist, a genre-crossing rock band, emerged from the southern California dark alternative scene in the late nineties, an unpredictable and refreshing voice that started in the Indie scene but was soon embraced by the goth and deathrock scene. Founder, Frank Vollmann, originally hailing from New Jersey, brought a vitality and immediacy to his music, indicative of the energetic punk and early alternative that molded his youth. 2003 saw the release of the band's first full-length album, "Different Degrees of Empty" cementing their notion that the dark music world should be a place of kicker boots, cranked amps, and skewed top hats as much as a refuge for poet shirts and ethereal echoes. By 2006 the group was based in Berlin, Germany and international concerts had become commonplace. Several albums and multiple European tours later, Frank the Baptist stands as a band the counterculture can count on. They don't belong to a fad. They didn't ride a single wave of fashion. They don't mind which way the future turns. Theirs is an easy confidence that comes from making something we'll always need: a timeless beat, an eternal vocal, rising above the mess of bands that live and die away below, in the maelstrom. The first 3 FTB Albums (Not online) will be re-released on vinyl and online early 2022.
