If you were a fan of The Lead, then Julio Rey (lead guitarist) and his new band, Frank's Enemy, have a new five song tape for you to sink your teeth into.
The music is similar to The Lead, only a bit more bizarre. During "Reasons to Say Know," my cat kept looking at the speakers with her ears turned toward them 'til she ran out of the room. There are sounds on the tape that I've never heard before.
