About me:
I have been know as many things....Frankie Da' Mick, Frankie Four-Fingers but more importantly....Frankie Underground.
The Underground was started in December of 1995 in the city of Fresno when I noticed alot of kids getting into hardcore and around Fresno there was nothing for them to read so I stole a bunch of paper and a card key from Kinko's and I was on my way.
The first interview I did was with the original line up of No Innocent Victim when I went down to Oceanside to see them, Unashamed and Focused. Do not get me wrong this was not my first show, i mean hell I was at the recording of the "California Takeover" show featuring Snapcase, Strife and Earth Crisis.
Now it has been almost 10 years since the first issue of The Underground....I have done many interview, thrown dozens of shows and am still very active in hardcore and plan to for as long as I am able to. The Underground Magazine has been an important part of my life that is why I am working to get The Underground back off the ground here in Washington.
Supporting zines are just as important as supporting bands and the labels....It is all about the hardcore scene
Enjoy......and remember hardcore is not a trend, not a fashion statement its a way of life...Hardcore existed before the fucking mall told it was cool. Its about yor family..your friends...your music...Stay True
Frankie Underground
Who I'd like to meet: People who understand that hardcore is a way of life....not just a fashion trend

Hey what's up? Thank you so much for wanting to be friends with us, we appreciate it! We will definantly be there Dec 6th to put on an awsome show for the kids. God bless and thank you again for the add!!
If you weren't already aware, we have decided to have an amicable split and go our separate ways. Jason will be playing guitar in Jedediah the Pilot, Dustin will be playing bass for Merrick Diaries, and all of us will be focusing more on finishing up with school to move onto the next part of our lives. This band has meant a LOT to us, and we want to personally thank you just for being our MySpace friend, and obviously thank you even moreso if you ever came to a show, bought our CD, a shirt, or just told just good job after a set. Our fan base meant everything to us, and we'll be sad to see everything go.
We'll be playing one final show at the Knitting Factory on Saturday, November 1st. It's the show that was originally supposed to happen back in September and was postponed. We'll be playing alongside our friends in Beaf, Merrick Diaries, Invidia, and the Back Row Kings. It's $6.00 at the door, or $5.00 if you'd like to buy a ticket from us. Doors are at 5:30, music at 6:00.
All of our merchandise is now on clearance sale as well. CD's are $5.00, shirts are $7.00, a CD/shirt combo is $10, or you can get both shirts and the CD for $15. Stickers are free if you buy anything.
We will be filming and recording the show and releasing it as a live CD/DVD combo later on. If you have a ticket stub from the show, this will only cost $5.00.
If you have a video camera and would like to help us film, let us know, we're looking for as much footage as possible.
Again, thank you very much for all your support, and we hope to see you at the final show!
-Mitch, Dustin, Derek, and the Jasons.
