The project's long-awaited debut album, American Royal, is set to release on July 3rd, featuring limited-edition vinyl pressed by Third Man Pressing.\n\n\"Inspired by Franklin's own experience as a college rock DJ in the 90's (at the University of Kansas' crown jewel KJHK), the record serves as a tribute to the eclectic nature of that place and time, as well as the current frustrating helplessness of being an American who teeters between being hopeful and being trapped by his country's history and future.\"\n\nhttps://royalfirecrackers.bandcamp.com/album/american-royal","location":3,"location_name":"Seattle","play_type":"trackplay"}
