Last fall, longtime Boston punk/R&B band Stop Calling Me Frank made headlines with “MB Anthem (The Market Basket Song).” Their ode to the beloved local supermarket chain couldn’t save the job of now-former Market Basket CEO Arthur T. Demoulas, but it did shine the spotlight on a purposefully low-profile band that has been purveying no-frills, rag-tag rock and soul on and off since the early 1980s heyday of The Rat. With Boston rock hero Ed Valauskas producing, this Rum Bar Records album opens with “Good Enough,” a celebration of the small wins in life like free breadsticks, and even ventures into Irish rock with the traditional “Whiskey In The Jar.” It’s all played loose and loud by a band that hasn’t forgotten the days when the saxophone was just as essential to rock as the guitar. - Noah Schaffer

Stop Calling Me Frank came together in the wild 1980s punk rock scene of Boston. Their music still reflects that early, high-energy, loud-fast-fun attitude, as do their rousing live shows. Influenced by usual suspects: Little Richard, The Fleshtones, The Sonics, Ramones, Otis Redding. This is garage punk rock-and-roll, with giant guitar riffs, a honking sax, and guys singing Baby! really loud. Over the years, members of Stop Calling Me Frank have played with other rockers, including The Dogmatics, Stranglehold, The Neats, The Swinedells, and other great bands. So it’s no surprise that they’ve earned a reputation as the Boston band’s Boston band.
