What To Listen To: They just released their latest album, “Kinda Hard.” The album, like many of their tracks, is an innuendo, but it also represents how this album goes a little bit harder than the previous.
Some of my favorite tracks include: “The End,” “Better Hell (Thicc boi),” “Miss Me,” “Boutta Cashew,” “Livin’ Laughin’ Lovin,” “2026 Cavaliers (Ohio,” “Blindsided,” “Corn-Fed Yetis,” “Anabolic Spudsman,” “A Hogman’s Delight,” “ACowboysHeavyLoad,” “ABSOLUTELYCRANKINMYMF’INHOG,” “FLOURIDEINTHEHARDSELTZERWATER,”
Why: I discovered the brilliance of Johnny Franck last year. He became my number one artist and four songs from “American Motorsports” were in my top five.
The music is so unique, blending multiple genres. The lyrics and sounds are nostalgic. The track titles are funny.
I caught him last year on tour in Boston and have a review of it here!
