To give you a taste, the first single is a blinder and is aptly titled, **F.A.F.O**

“F.A.F.O.” is a raw, unflinching dive into the disposable whirlwind of modern dating. With razor-sharp riffs and biting satire, the track skewers Tinder culture, one-night stands, and the dangerous silence around STDs. It’s a piss-take on “safe sex,” but beneath the chaos is a hard-punching message we can’t afford to ignore. And yeah—if we offend a few pricks along the way, so be it. Fuck everyone. No pun intended.

The music **Frankenbok** creates is one embracing heaviness, humour and brutality; something like nude wrestling in a maximum security wing! **Frankenbok** boast a diverse sound and are unafraid to try anything and are ALWAYS impulsively applying that to their craft.

Originally formed in the summer of 1997 but since 2002, **Frankenbok** have sadly had a curse of  revolving door musicians… October 2024 saw the return of their original vocalist  **Adam “Hutch” Glynn, **Founding member and Guitarist **Azza Bok**,  Drummer **Tom Rossell** and bassist **Owen Spratling**; complete the current line up

Since **Glynn’s** return, The band signed to a new record label**, XMsuic, **and have wasted no time!  
January 31st 2025 saw the release of“**IRREPRESSIBLE**” and the band then hit the road with **ALIEN ANT FARM** and **DROWNING POOL** for their 2025 Australian Tour as their support act. 

**Angela Croudace** of **HEAVY MAG Australia** described **Frankenbok** as*“the ugly love child of Faith No More and The Red Hot Chili Peppers with a healthy dose of metal and a sprinkle of pure madness tossed in for good measure!”*

The band have a new release entitled **“THE ARRIBA WAR HONKLE”** dropping May 29, 2026

**Pre orders are available now: ****[https://lnk.to/y26sA7](https://maricmedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=727b0946ab3fa65fe60bec739&id=124d580a39&e=c982cfcc7a)**
