about

With a thunderous crash, they emerge from their long slumber! Like a phoenix (or perhaps a smoldering bald eagle) rising from the ashes, Franklin’s Pickaxe returns to educate young patriots everywhere with their trademark brand of historically-dubious prog rock satire, a style originally pioneered by Benjamin Franklin himself in 1729. The dynamic Pickaxe duo weaves an uncommon web of crunching guitars, mystifying synthesizers, pulsating beats, and dramatic storytelling. Now sit a spell and listen to completely factual tales of legends such as Ben Franklin, comrade Jesus of Nazareth, and rival Joseph Stalin, originally recorded on glass harmonica via machinery powered by electrostatic crank and painstakingly transferred to a modern digital streaming service near you.
