On first glance The Franklin Cover Up's name may appear silly. But upon further investigation - a child prostitution ring involving several former U.S. government officials - everything begins to make sense. The Idaho metalcore outfit
yes I said Idaho
delivers nine tracks in twenty minutes on their debut full-length, Commercial. These songs are a mixed bag: some great songs - "Great Tragedy River Ohio," "They Came and Melted Our Necks" and "A Nation Under Fuck" but also some subpar ones too. The band treads the line between the technical jamming of Botch and the sheer ferocity of Burnt by the Sun. If there was one thing I'd like to hear it would be more experimentation, perhaps some instrumentals or melody thrown in here and there to mix things up so as to not feel so bombarded.
