Jersey rockers The Modbeats return with a brand new single titled ‘Frankie’, a fast-driving, sun-soaked anthem that channels the timeless rush of escaping the city for a wild coastal night. With retro surf rock vibes, garage grit, and classic pop nostalgia, it captures a cinematic kind of rebellion.

Out now on all major streaming platforms, the single is the final preview before the band’s debut LP Ballad of a Starving Artist drops 5 September via Mayleen Records. Written and composed by Philip Dunn, ‘Frankie’ was produced in Asbury Park, NJ during sessions for the band’s debut album. Dunn recorded the track using his Fender Stratocaster, including his favorite moment - a solo that fuses Chuck Berry, Eddie Van Halen, and Beach Boys inspiration into one electrifying burst.

“We suspect that those who reside on the coasts will dig the vibe verbatim—hopping in the convertible with your best friends, getting the hell out of the city, and heading to the shore blasting rock ’n’ roll en route to one hell of a party,” the band shares. “Perhaps at said party you meet someone who will change your life? Perhaps you don’t. It doesn’t matter… You take your chances. You plead your case.”

“It’s a fun song. A summer song for blasting in the car, hopefully en route to a party with some rockabilly music!’’

Echoing the spirit of Jim Morrison, the band declare: “We’re gonna have our kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.”
