Fresh off their three-show run at Main Street’s Home Grown Café, Newark-based band Frisco stopped by The Music Room to chat with Mandorichard and perform some original, acoustic music. Frisco consists of UD students Ben Mazur (guitar, vocals), Russ Israel (guitar, vocals, drums), Will Lescas (bass, vocals), and Matt Beer (drums, vocals, guitar). Drawing influence from both psychedelic rock and R&B, Frisco creates their own unique sound, in turn establishing a genre that they like to call “shake the booty.”

In addition to their in-studio shenanigans, the band discusses their initial formation, artists that inspire them, and their future plans. Currently, Frisco is in the process of recording, mixing, and mastering their music at a local studio. To hear a preview of their upcoming album, check out the band’s first single, “Wonder.”
