From the Promoter

The Franklin Electric recently amazed audiences in Toronto when they opened for Ben Howard during his two sold out Massey Hall’s performances and again with two sold shows earlier this year at The Drake.
“The Franklin Electric out of Montreal, put on an amazing show last night at The Drake and we were there to take it all in. The second of two sold out shows, found the band excited and enthusiastic.” Soundcheckentertainment.ca “The Franklin Electric definitely didn’t let anyone down last night.” Confrontmagazine.com

The Franklin Electric is formed and in 2012 go on to win a Nashville songwriting competition for the song "Old Piano," amongst 8000 participating bands from around the world. Jon Matte then invites a number of friends and musicians in studio to create, brick by brick, his first album.  A simple desire governs these first improvised sessions, to build songs of regret and hope that has the same emotional impact on listeners that it has on him.  "This Is How I Let You Down" first appeared independently before being re-launched in May 2014 through the label Indica Records (Half Moon Run, Phantogram) and following some initial adjustments, The Franklin Electric settles on a core of musicians which includes Jon Matte, Martin Desrosby, Kevin Warren and Ken Pressé.
