About Me

Frankie Delmane began his musical wunderlust in his teens, playing in several punk, hardcore, power pop, mod, thrash, death metal and pop outfits before finally forming Frankie Machine & The Stiffs in 1991, as an homage to the late 70's punk/pub rock/power pop English record label Stiff, with a dedication to making loud, sloppy, hook laden rock music that would get people moving. Moved to Chicago in 1994 with ex-Stiffs drummer Jim Holiday to form rock n roll outfit, which did not come to full form until 1997 when chance meeting with guitarist Eric Vegas completed the band TEENAGE FRAMES, producing debut recording "More Songs, Less Music," which was followed by five years of non stop touring that brought them to Spain, England, Scotland and much of the United States, as well as more recordings-"1% Faster" (1999),"Kingsize Sessions" (2001) and the first in a series of CD singles, "Let's Break Up!" (2005). In 2000 Delmane launched a parallel solo career, recording a song for underground ska legends The Ecclectics final CD, followed by a private press cassette in 2001 entitled "You Might Even Like It." 2003 saw the release of two solo recordings- "White Terror In Black Verse" -a complete solo effort, and "Working For The White Pigs," recorded with teenage friends Chris Carey and Tim Hansen- as The Injections. Released second single "Junkie Logic" with TEENAGE FRAMES, and is currently working on two different solo recordings in addition to a re-release of his two previous solo recordings in one package. Still believes both underground and mainstream media are full of shit.HISTORY: THE MENTAL CASES- 1982-1985/vocals-guitar BELFAST- 1984/solo PARASITE- 1985/vocals-guitar THE FUNERAL PARTY (gothy punk) 1985/bass DEAD CONSPIRACY mach 1 (hardcore) 1985/vocals PROTEST (political punk) 1986/bass WRETCHED DEATH (hate punk) 1985-1988/vocals-guitar-drums DEAD CONSPIRACY mach 2 (death metal) 1986-1991/vocals THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCIST MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE YOU!
