Frankie and the Witch Fingers “Data Doom”

Frankie and the Witch Fingers “Data Doom” 2023. Limited edition colored vinyl, Dinked “Magma Opal” edition. The Reverberation Society/Greenway Records. Includes poster and bonus 7″ single flexi disc.

Last night we caught Frankie and the Witchfingers at the Miramar Theatre here in Milwaukee and it was a killer, ridiculously high energy sweatfest of searing psychedelic garage rock. They played a few songs from their latest release Data Doom including the blistering album opener “Empire,” the frenetically driving “Futurephobic,” “Mild Davis” and one of my top tracks from the LP “Electricide.” My other top picks from Data Doom are “Burn Me Down” and “Syster System.” Like their previous releases (and performances), their music is unwaveringly ass-shaking; Data Doom goes way darker, though, with under and overtones of doom + speed metal wrapped into trippy lightning speed swirls of sound.
