It’s one thing for a band to be influenced by punk, but for Burlington, Vermont’s Rough Francis, it’s in their DNA. Featuring three sons of Bobby Hackney (of proto-punk legends Death) alongside bassist Tyler Bolles, the band just dropped a new four-song EP that’s well worth a spin.

If you’re in need of some angry, dark, yet melodic hardcore punk to match your frustration with the state of the world, Fall has you covered. Expect a heavy dose of DC-style hardcore, packed with deeply personal and political lyrics.
