Just as 2025 comes to a close, a new age of rock-and-roll debauchery has officially arrived. Hailing from Los Angeles, Los Frankies are at the center of the storm, and today they’re back for more with their second single, “Dog City.”
Guitarist and vocalist Frankie Clarke (of Frankie and the Studs) brings the grit, glam, and guitar heroics — a full-throttle mix of Johnny Thunders swagger and no-bullshit attitude. Frontman and guitarist Frankie Salazar leads with unrelenting ferocity, with a voice big enough to tear down walls. Behind them, Miles Deiaco pounds the drums like he’s trying to break the world open, while Davide Cinci holds the low end steady — the calm anchor amid the firestorm. Together, they make a sound that’s filthy, fearless, and undeniably alive.
After unveiling their debut album D.E.D. City last month — led by the 70s-style punk ripper “I’m on Drugs,” which earned comparisons to The New York Dolls and The Heartbreakers — Los Frankies are turning up the heat with “Dog City,” a fierce and biting punk banger decked out in black eyeliner, leather chokers and unbridled attitude.
The track rides a throbbing indie sleaze groove, pulling from the raw swagger of Queens of the Stone Age and the stripped-down punch of The White Stripes. It’s a track about sex, freedom, and surviving the grind of the dog-eat-dog city.
The chorus explodes into a glam-soaked stomp, channeling T. Rex with a shout-along hook that dares you to sing it loud, haters be damned.Sweaty, swaggering, and built to be played loud, “Dog City” is a soundtrack for strutting through chaos like you own the pavement.
With D.E.D. City, Los Frankies aren’t interested in playing it safe — they’re here to remind the world that rock music can still be dangerous, defiant, and deliriously alive.
“Dog City” is out January 7, 2026 on all DSPs. Los Frankies’ debut album, D.E.D. City is due for release on March 6, 2026.

How did Los Frankies come together, and was there a shared vision or sound you all wanted the band to represent from the start?
Los Frankies started back in 2020. we came up with the name and released a couple songs under it but the project went dormant while we focused on frankie and the studs.
at its core the band represents the relationship that frankie b and i have. we came up with the vision together. i wrote the songs and miles deiaco produced the record but frankie b really holds it down on guitar and vocals. beyond that the entire aesthetic of the band is her. she is the visual footprint and does everything behind the scenes. in a lot of ways los frankies is frankie.
“Dog City” has been described as an “indie sleaze groove,” and the music video features the band decked out in black eyeliner and leather chokers. How would you describe Los Frankies’ sound and style as a group?
i mean we are sleazy and we like indie so yeah you could call it indie sleaze. it is kind of a funny way to describe music but when people say that they usually mean that 2000s garage rock and brit pop influenced sound which is exactly what we like. so it is not too far off.
Los Frankies feel fearless, defiant, and ready to take the world by storm. How do you hope listeners feel when they hear your debut record for the first time?
i hope it gets a lot of people laid.
there is more going on than just a party record but ultimately i want people to have a good time with it. feel loose have fun and not overthink it. ideally people are listening to it while getting naked.

Los Frankies Bio:
Let me tell you about a band that’s gonna knock your dirty socks off — Los Frankies, and their debut album, D.E.D. CITY. These lot hail from Hollywood, but don’t go thinking they’re just another bunch of pretty faces trying to cash in on the sunshine. Nah, this crew’s got something real.
You’ve got Frankie Clarke — yeah, that Frankie from Frankie and the Studs — on guitar and vocals. She plays with all the attitude and grit you’d expect, a proper mix of Johnny Thunders swagger and full blown rock and roll chaos. The chick can make a guitar scream like it’s been possessed by something filthy, and she’s got the voice to match. Mean, melodic, and completely unbothered.
Then there’s Frankie Salazar, frontman, lead guitar, and full on punk messiah. This lad’s a proper motherfucker — his voice is big enough to tear down walls, and when he shreds, it’s like he’s channeling every great punk icon that ever lived, only dirtier and louder. There’s a modern twist in there too, but make no mistake — this is a love letter to 70s punk, scrawled in blood and gasoline.
On drums, you’ve got Miles Deiaco — this bloke plays like he’s on a mission to destroy everything in sight. Fast, wild, and with absolutely no time for subtlety. He’s the engine room, the thunder, the panic attack behind the kit. Keeps it from falling apart, but makes sure it never sounds tidy. A proper madman.
And then there’s Davide Cinci on bass — the anchor in the storm. He’s the one holding it all together while the rest of the band tries to burn the place down. You can feel the low end rumble in your gut — it’s thick, nasty, and it grooves in just the right way. Controlled chaos, held steady by the calmest hands in the room.
