It took roughly seven years, a teenage instrumental rock band, a debut EP, additions and subtractions, a roller rink, and a near-death experience to arrive at Francisco The Man<\/strong>. Following a two-year hiatus beginning in 2008, the band relocated from Riverside to Los Angeles, bringing along a new addition, guitarist Brock Woolsey<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Francisco-The-Man-850x566\"<\/a>With the help of Small Plates Records, they released two 7\u201ds, In the Corners<\/em> and Tiger<\/em>. Their debut LP, Loose Ends<\/em>, due out on Small Plates as well, gives its audience a more encompassing look at Francisco the Man. With each song, more and more honesty permeates through the lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the LP shows a broader, more realized, version of Francisco The Man,\u201d Scotty Cantino<\/strong> explains. \u201cYou can\u2019t do that with a single.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

From the beginning of the first track, questions and anxieties are the substance. With each subsequent verse and track, they seem to find the answers in themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each song comes in with a certain message, but with a sound that blends garage rock, new wave, and shoegaze, the message becomes enveloped in something completely different. \u201cDreaming of\u00a0tomorrow\u00a0\/ it might be the worst,\u201d but with each song Francisco the Man plays, it doesn\u2019t seem to matter as much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their acclaimed debut,\u00a0Loose Ends<\/em>, was released at the end of 2014 on Fat Possum\/Small Plates Records.\u00a0 \"The<\/a>
