2014 release from this Burlington, Vermont-based band that features the three sons of Death's Bobby Hackney. Although the loud screams, wild stage antics and maximum volume of Rough Francis echoes Death, they have also crystallized a unique sound of their own. Fueled by 70's proto-punk, Motown, the British Invasion and '80s Hardcore, Rough Francis continue to prove an overwhelmingly powerful force onstage. They have shared stages with Mos Def, Agent Orange, Death, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Fishbone, the Dictators and many others.
