Bands championed by TGTF including Frankie and the Heartstrings, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Johnny Foreigner, Little Comets, cocknbullkid and Dinosaur Pile-Up are also scheduled to appear.

In advance of their album of the same name released next month, Sunderland’s “smashing young rock group” Frankie and the Heartstrings have made a new video for ‘Hunger’. A mad, long-haired bloke in a jumper dancing around and a wonky homemade robot in a show that looks suspiciously like ‘Blue Peter’ but is called ‘the Blue Boat’? You have to see it to believe it.
‘Hunger’, the debut album from Frankie and the Heartstrings, will be released on 12 February.

‘Ungrateful’ is the latest offering from Sunderland throwback rockers Frankie and the Heartstrings. Like ‘Hunger’ and ‘Tender’ before them, this single’s an ace pop tune that will stay in your head. Permanently. It’s lovely.
If their Facebook page is to be believed, they endured large rats during the filming of this video. Since they suffered so much, go on, have a watch of the video below.
The single for ‘Ungrateful’ is available now from the band’s own label Pop Sex Ltd. The band head on over stateside later this month for CMJ.
