Frank Bango has been quietly going about his business for the last 15 years, making some of the best and most original pop music that almost no one has ever heard. But while Bango has consistently remained further under the radar then just about any other artist of his caliber, he’s never let anonymity go to his head. 

Comparisons are often drawn between his intelligent, timeless pop songs and those written by Ray Davies, Elvis Costello and Andy Partridge (although Bango and longtime songwriting partner Richy Vesecky cite the golden age of The Brill Building as their primary influence).

To understand, you need only listen to one of the five albums that Bango has released on his own label The Sincere Recording Company, And there’s no better place to start than his latest triumph “Touchy/Feely”. An addictive, hook laden album with irresistible melodies and intelligent, yet heartfelt lyrics. A record created to showcase Bango & Vesecky’s roots in traditional pop craftsmanship.

Frank Bango may very well be a musical genius…Sprawling pop tunes with clever arrangements and a literary approach to lyric-writing that never gets caught up in itself
