A Punk Rock Dynamo that just keeps getting better with time, Frankenstein 3000 may have just produced their finest album to date.  The band’s 9th studio album “The Blunt Truth” was released on the fitting date of 4/20. It features a plethora of unapologetically high-energy tracks and guest appearances from Angel guitar legend Punky Meadows, Bob Pantella of Monster Magnet, Derrek Hawkins of Stabbing Westward, Peter Marshall of Samhain, Finn Ryan of Atomic Bitchwax, Kenny Aaronson of Dust, Billy DeVizia of Lesser Prophets, Danny Anniello of Lords Of Mercy, and Bobby Kennedy of Acid.  2 singles from the LP “Second Time Around” and “N.Y.C.” are already receiving high levels of attention and acclaim.

“The Blunt Truth” is available on CD, digital download and limited edition green vinyl.  The album can be picked up virtually anywhere music is sold, but to save time you can go directly to mainmanrecords.com to score a copy.  If you’re a fan of vinyl, you may want to hurry as the limited pressing is running out fast.  Score the limited edition vinyl LP HERE.

Tune to Jersey Rock on 95.9 The Rat Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30 pm to hear cuts from “The Blunt Truth.” Frankenstein 3000 frontman and host of The Electric Ballroom (Sundays 8pm to 10pm on 95.9 The Rat) Keith Roth will join us in studio all week!

Don’t miss Frankenstein 3000 at The Brighton Bar in Long Branch on Friday 6/1.  The group will celebrate the release of “The Blunt Truth” at the Man Main Records 20th Anniversary Party.  In addition to F3K’s performance, the evening will also feature Acid’s world premiere of the video for their new song “Corrupt” and sets from Soraia, Toxic Future Now, Street Walking Cheetahs, Kingston & Greystarr, and special guests.  Doors are at 8pm.
