Fire Track: Frankie And The Witch Fingers – “Economy”

Los Angeles psych-punk road warriors Frankie and the Witch Fingers have returned to announce a brand new album, Trash Classic, due June 6, 2025 via The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Greenway Records. New single “Economy” provides the first glimpse of the band’s newly-refined sonic palette, putting grimy synths front and center alongside fuzzed-out angular guitars and muscular, precision-strike drumming. Stay tuned for music videos, new tracks and more in the coming days and weeks.

The band has also announced a robust slate of headline world tour dates, which include some of their biggest shows to date. See below for the full list of shows, with more to be announced soon.

Trash Classic follows the band’s widely-acclaimed 2023 Data Doom. The band shared their collective thoughts on the message behind “Economy’s” mayhem:

“’Economy’ invades your brain like a late-night infomercial, ruthlessly selling the shiny nightmare of consumer paradise. Synthetic basslines pound like a debt collector that knows you’re home, while jagged guitars slice like overdue bills stamped in red. Urgent synth melodies buzz and ring like reminders to refill prescriptions you can’t afford. Everything throbs to a hammering blown-out beat, teetering on the edge of assembly-line-collapse. Cold electronically layered vocals chant over the frenzy: WORK. SPEND. REPEAT. Grotesque and irresistible, it’s all circling the drain. Families sell their life-force for dinner while corporations rake in unimaginable profits from the very sickness they created. Sound familiar? By the time the electro-punk fueled finale kicks into overdrive, it injects itself straight into your bloodstream, hijacking your senses and stripping everything down to its raw, naked truth. Economy distorts everyday despair into a mutant disco soundtrack—absurd, biting, and disturbingly fun.”
