The (four) frantics were a mid 50s to mid 60s instrumental group from Seattle. Their music was, jazz, rhythm n blues and rock n roll influenced but with a "teen-pop" feeling. Their first 45' single was "Straight Flash / Young blues" in 1959. They also played as a back up group for Bobby Darin.
you can find more of their work in the "complete frantics on dolton" compilation.
My name is Ashleigh- My uncle Don was the drummer in this band :D I love his bands music and am always proud to see The Frantics shown at the EMP in Seattle :)
