Frankenbok Spin You Round Like A Record!
After their raging comeback last month with Demon Tantrum, Melbourne metal legends, Frankenbok have dropped a cover as only they can of the 80’s classic You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) from Dead or Alive.
“So we did this as just a bit of fun and I have always loved the original Pete Burns version , we do have a album coming out real soon that’s not as fruity and plenty nasty , but this was great fun getting back to being the idiots we have always been and not being super serious life is serious enough and I’ve seen what becomes of grown ups . So try to laugh as much as possible you will live longer.” Azza Bok
Frankenbok have hit covers out of the park before. Who remembers when they made
Madison Avenue’s Don’t Call Me Baby, better than the original?!!
Frankenbok transcend the normal parameters of metal and since forming back in 1997, have forged their own path in the heavy music scene. Creating a style all their own, the band embraces heaviness, humour and brutality all wrapped up in a fist aimed straight at your face. Something like nude wrestling in a maxiumum security wing!
Over the years, Frankenbok have suffered the curse of a revolving door musicians, with the only constant being founding member and guitarist Aaron “Azza Bok” Butler! Azza’s style and musical vision is countered only by his tenacity and drive in forming the nucleus of what every musician strives to be, but few manage to accomplish – their own musical identity.
Frankenbok 2024 is stronger than ever and sees the return of their original front man
Adam Glynn plus drummer Tom Rossell and bassist Owen Spratling.
Demon Tantrum is the first new Frankenbok tune to feature Adam Glynn on vocals since 2002 and is their first release through new label, XMusic. Expect plenty of action from the Bok in 2025!!
So whats in a name?
Whilst living in the USA, Aaron ‘Azza’ Butler was teaching some locals a few Aussie colloquialisms, one local mispronounced “fair dinkum” as “frankenbok” and a legend was born.
Catch Frankenbok as they open for Alien Ant Farm and Drowning Pool on their upcoming Australian Tour. Tickets from The Phoenix…
