Frank Royster

Frank is a singer-songwriter from Charleston,S.C. He has been writing powerpop songs for many years and just released his first solo album "Thru The Years". It was released on the Kool Kat Musik label and is widely available online! Prior to that he played guitar on the Eddie Bush record "Hands In Pocket", which was recorded before Eddie Bush got singed to a major label deal w/ Decca this passed year. He was also a member of the Fire Apes from 97-98 and guitar player on the debut Fire Apes cd from 1997 titled 'Perfect Day For Bannafish".(Which is a smash!)

His songs are very catchy and heavily influenced by the Beatles, Beach Boys, Smithereens, Elvis Costello, and Matthew Sweet to name a few. The solo album has been recieved well in the states and well in parts of Europe, mainly Spain.

Shindig Magazine says:"The opening tune, "I'm So Glad" is a gorgeous slice of jangly guitar powerpop, with echoes of the early Smithereens in the vocal and the song structure."

Occasionally! We did about 5 gigs here in my hometown, Charleston to promote my debut CD- "Thru The Years". There is nothing like getting feedback from a live audience.

Buck Owens, Elvis Costello, Matthew Sweet, The Beach Boys, & The Beatles.
