Based in Queensbury, he is influenced by some of the biggest names from the 1980s and 2000s alt rock scene. He fuses rock and roll with a post-grunge sound to sculpt his positive and clean musical motifs. With multiple singles, revamps of classic movie themes, and three EPs currently out on all streaming platforms (<em>I Am Ready, Set Me Free<\/em>, and the eponymous<em> Frank Palangi<\/em>) with a fourth on the way, he lives by his mantra, \u201cI have no Plan B backing down on my dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frank Palangi - Artist Promo - No Plan B\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y_1DPovuMPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Elissa Ebersold: Can you unpack what your motto means?<\/strong><br>Frank Palangi: It stems back from 2008 when I quit my regular job\u2026I was like, \u201cI\u2019m just gonna do music and I\u2019m gonna give it a shot.\u201d It kinda just stuck ever since. For me it\u2019s kinda an outlet. I\u2019m saying to myself, y\u2019know, to not give up, to keep going.2008 is when I quit my job to try [music]. I didn\u2019t go full time until two years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: But you were playing music earlier.<\/strong><br>FP: Yeah, I started making music at age 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: I feel like you told me once you got your start by watching the movie <em>The Crow<\/em>, right? <\/strong><br>FP: Yeah, because it\u2019s a movie about a dead rock star coming back to life. You know it was adventurous and stuff, it\u2019s because he played guitar that I was like, \u201cWell this a cool movie already but <em>this dude<\/em>\u201d&#8230;I didn\u2019t know what it was, I didn\u2019t know what a guitar was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: Interesting. You\u2019d never had much involvement in music before that? So you\u2019d never picked up a guitar or\u2026<\/strong><br>FP: Not really, no. My grandfather was a concert violinist so we had a piano around all the time and before that I would take soundtracks of movies and dub them into my action figure movies that I used to make. [Laughs]. So that was really my first introduction into <em>music <\/em>music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: Did you ever see your grandfather perform?<\/strong><br>FP: No, he was too old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: Did he ever play for you at all?<\/strong><br>FP: A little bit. He had arthritis and stuff after a while. By the time I was born he was in his early 70s, so he didn\u2019t play much for maybe 20 years before that. It was more late teenager to late 40s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: So who else has inspired you throughout your musical career? <\/strong><br>FP: Metallica and Creed, because those are the first two CDs that ever got handed to me from a high school friend that burned them for me. Movies too. I\u2019m inspired by horror and sci-fi movies that I see that have those styles of songs [and scores] in there. So I\u2019d watch the movie and get inspired by what that stuff was. Like <em>Resident Evil<\/em> had that, uh, kind of&#8230;what do you call Rob Zombie? That style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: I feel a lot of post-apocalyptic and horror stuff has a distinct grungy, metallic, gritty&#8230;that\u2019s what I think of when I think of the <em>Resident Evil<\/em> sound. [The Charlie Clouser sound]. You like John Carpenter too, correct?<\/strong><br>FP: Oh yeah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: What challenges have you had to overcome as a musician?<\/strong><br>FP: [I had] health issues, and hurdles in the music industry&#8211;it\u2019s hard to explain. Mostly the hurdles would be getting any sort of radio play, getting on specialty shows for interviews, submitting to labels and submitting to booking agents, that kind of stuff. There\u2019s a little bit of weird red tape. \u201cUnsolicited\u201d they call it. In order to get to submit it so it\u2019s solicited, you need one of those guys. It doesn\u2019t really make sense to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: What defeated obstacle are you most proud of to have overcome?<\/strong><br>FP: Probably getting to open for national acts. I thought that was kind of off limits, but that was a big hurdle when I started doing that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: As I previously mentioned in my intro, you have a positive message in your music. Why choose to go the positive route?<\/strong><br>FP: Part of it was the way I was raised. The other part was that I loved all the 80s and 90s party bands that promoted the sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but I just knew I wasn\u2019t going to get into the drug thing. It was about the music. That\u2019s probably where that came from. It was more about the music and not about the drugs and the lifestyle and that kind of stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: How\ndo you think life would be different if you went with the aforementioned more\ntraditional hard rock motifs?<br>\n<\/strong>FP: I wouldn\u2019t be here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frank Palangi - Break These Chains (Official Video)\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ljkHiafWc88?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: Tell me about your creative process.<\/strong><br>FP: So for myself, I always start with an idea on the acoustic or electric. Music first, then lyrics. Then I\u2019ll do a demo where I\u2019ll do all the instruments and write all the parts. Then do a rough mix to see how it\u2019s feeling and the direction it\u2019s going. It\u2019s not just about \u201coh that was a great song and great lyrics.\u201d You can have that with acoustic and vocal, but it\u2019s how it all comes together. You can have the best lyrics in the world, the best guitar work, but if the music around it doesn\u2019t gel or it stinks&#8230;It\u2019s just not gonna happen [&#8230;] It\u2019s two parts. One part is making a song, and one part is the production side of it. How can we make this into a song? It really isn\u2019t a full song until you go through the full production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE:&nbsp; How does that change when you collaborate with different artists? <\/strong><br>FP: For the artist that I produce or record, I kind of leave it up to them. I\u2019ll throw my hat in the ring with suggestions and all that, but it\u2019s more based on what they\u2019re comfortable with. Then I roll with that. When I work with other people for my own stuff, you\u2019re always kinda in the director\u2019s chair, y\u2019know. They take guidance from you. It\u2019s weird that you can say something and they get it, and then boom! There\u2019s an unspoken musical connection..it\u2019s weird. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: How do you deal with a difference of opinion when collaborating? <\/strong><br>FP: A lot of times because you\u2019re hired to do their project, when you\u2019re helping them out,<em> they\u2019re<\/em> in the director\u2019s chair. You can make suggestions, like I said throw your hat in the ring, but ultimately it\u2019s up to them. Same thing with my stuff, if I\u2019m like \u201cI love your idea but it\u2019s not working at all,\u201d we gotta do something else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: Who would be your ideal collaborator? I know you\u2019ve worked with a lot of big names already? (Author\u2019s note: Frank has worked with Day of Fire, Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson\u2019s drummer Lester Estelle, and Saving Abel\u2019s drummer Mike McManus, to name a few).<\/strong><br>FP: It would be Metallica and\/or Dave Grohl.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: I never took you for a Foo Fighters fan.<\/strong><br>FP: I enjoy their music, but I am not a super fan. But Metallica I\u2019m like [gestures wildly]. But I like Dave Grohl. I like his process. He\u2019s a drummer. He\u2019s a guitarist. He\u2019s a singer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: You\u2019ve spent over ten years as a full-time musician. How have your perspectives and views on the music industry changed as you spent more time in it?<\/strong><br>FP: It\u2019s gone more downhill, to be honest. The windows of opportunity are being shut one by one, as an indie artist I mean. It\u2019s harder. There\u2019s more competition. There\u2019s not as much opportunity. There\u2019s not enough help. Even in the 70s, 80s, 90s, there were artists that would help each other and say, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you jump on tour with me?\u201d&nbsp; You didn\u2019t necessarily need to be signed or have a manager. It was because [the band] liked them. Now you either legally can\u2019t, or there\u2019s something in the way where they just don\u2019t do that anymore. But the fans and the audience are what matters and their support hasn\u2019t really changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE:\nEven with the explosion of social media of the past fifteen years, you find\nthat it\u2019s harder to get an audience than it was without all that?<br>\n<\/strong>FP: No, it makes more competition for us [to get label\nattention]&#8230;not the audience really, it has nothing to do with the audience. I\nthink either way you reach an audience, just as much or if not more with social\nmedia behind you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: But it\u2019s oversaturated. There\u2019s no shortage of talented musicians in the world. And everyone is sending their \u201cunsolicited\u201d demos and their YouTube videos and whatnot to producers to look at. And they\u2019re less likely to get seen.<\/strong><br>FP: Exactly. Just look at the TV shows. You used to hear the<em> American Idol<\/em> Top 10 on the radio. So many of them would have a record. Now none of them have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: With that said, what would you change about the industry with your experience?<\/strong><br>FP: It would be the opportunity to not be so regulated or strict with the labels and the tour managers and the artists. It\u2019s all very cut and dry. It\u2019s not friendly. It\u2019s all about the numbers and the money rather than the music. That\u2019s the biggest thing you\u2019d have to change in my opinion. If you find a band that sounds\u2026[marketable]&#8230; it doesn\u2019t matter if they have the<em> numbers<\/em>&#8230;It\u2019s like the old saying, \u201cIf you build it they will come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frank Palangi - Set Me Free (Official Music Video)\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UbNO4eGb6lc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: What would you change about your own experiences? How do you think this may have changed your path? <\/strong><br>FP: If I had gotten a few different people around me,as far as my live band. Maybe for them to understand the situations a little bit more. And here\u2019s the other key, because I didn\u2019t have a lot of money. That\u2019s another kind of restriction. Maybe if I\u2019d had more income, even if I had kept a job, it maybe would have gotten a little farther. That\u2019s another shame about the music industry. Literally if you have money, you can do whatever you want, hire whoever you want, reach whoever you want. Again I would change how cut and dry everything is. That\u2019s gotta change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: How do you see the future of the industry? Do you think it\u2019ll get worse?<\/strong><br>FP: These guys I\u2019m talking about&#8230;They\u2019re 50 and above now. Now producers are younger, in their 20s and 30s. They could change everything. It\u2019s up to them. A new generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: What performance has been your favorite? <\/strong><br>FP: 3 Doors Down. At the Egg in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: What venue would you love to play? <\/strong><br>FP: The Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. It\u2019s huge. It\u2019s in the music mecca. It\u2019s in Nashville.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: A question I like to ask is if you could choose one lyric \/ set of lyrics that you\u2019ve written as your favorite, which would it be? Tell us the story of this song. <\/strong><br>FP: From \u201cI Am Ready,\u201d &#8212; it would be that first verse, \u201cI have this feeling \/ It was born inside me \/ How can I grow without the passion leading the way?\u201d That kinda sums up everything. Did you know I never say \u201cI am ready?\u201d in the song. I say \u201cAm I ready?\u201d but not \u201cI am ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: The song is the question. The title is the answer. <em>Jeopardy <\/em>style.<\/strong><br>FP: [Laughs] Yeah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: I notice that you drop off and vocal \u201cscoop\u201d at the end of your phrases, much like Metallica does. What other tools of the trade or elements of music do you utilize to get your specific sound?<\/strong><br>FP: Besides Metallica\u2019s influence, this might sound weird but the different voices I used to do as a kid for movies or playing with action figures and stuff. I used to do all the different characters. And the voices and the sound effects. So I kinda, when I sing, for some parts I kinda use that to my advantage. So it goes in and out of vocal techniques. I don\u2019t know what you call it but that\u2019s what I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hgt4AJu8S1s\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EE: What is your favorite piece of gear? <\/strong><br>FP: The guitar amp.

You can pre-order that (on Amazon only) starting April 3rd. May 19th is the release of my \u201cGone Mad\u201d music video on VEVO.
