The Scallions have been recording for over 19 years. The band is made up of two brothers, Mike and Shawn Franklin. They like to call their sound “Avant-Garde Power Pop”. In 2002, the band signed with Chuck D. from the revolutionary rap band Public Enemy. They are featured on www.slamjamz.com (Slam Jamz is Chuck’s on-line record label) and are building a solid following. In September of 2002, The Scallions assembled a band to assist them in performing live as they had the honor of opening up a few shows for Public Enemy in the Massachusetts area. The band released their first national release in August 2006. The album was entitled Agony through Ceremony and was released as a CD/DVD combo. It received a lot of positive press.
