Dial F For Frankenstein hit the vibrant Oxford music scene in April 2008; four young talented music students whose grungy take on indie-pop offers complex yet catchy songs and dynamic live performances which are astonishing considering they only got together in December 2007 - and that they are all still in their teens.
Gigs around Oxford over the last few weeks have already secured an enthusiastic fan base and their very first commercial gig at The Jericho Tavern received an encouraging review from the famously cynical local music magazine Nightshift who called them “promising grungy-pop newcomers” and commented on their “…clever riffs, angst-driven loud attitude … interesting chord changes and unusual rhythm patterns….”
A strong demo CD secured them a mid-afternoon slot at the Guernsey Live Festival in the Channel Islands in May 2008 where they played on the main stage ahead of The Futureheads, The Young Knives, The Guillemots and The Enemy. Dial F for Frankenstein clearly impressed BBC Guernsey: ”Being the youngest band on today's bill did not seem to bother them as their take on indie drew a decent and appreciative crowd some of whom were calling for an encore long after the band had left the stage.”
Dial F for Frankenstein (who are named after a sci-fi short story by Arthur C Clark which appeared in Playboy in 1964 and is often cited as inspiration for the internet) can be contacted at dialf@sky.com.
