Starting in 2005 with the forming of their first pickup band, David Warfle, Jonathan Pryor, and Stevie Drone have spent a lot of time playing together. With Warfle and Drone playing together in their band "Ultimatum" from 2005-2007, Pryor joined them on stage several times to lend his increcible electric violin skills. In 2007, Warfle and Pryor along with Jonathan Madden created the band, The Fuse Experiment. In early 2012, Warfle, Pryor, and Drone decided to join forces once again to combine their love of rock, metal, jazz, and classical to create their newest project, and named it after the town where the three first joined forces, Franklin. ​ Stemming from 7 years of various musical endeavors together, David Warfle, Jonathan Pryor, and Stevie Drone, take pieces of each project and combines them to create a new sound. With the combination of electric violin, synth, keys, guitars, bass, drums, and Vocals, Franklin has created their own sound. With influences ranging from Muse, Thrice, Rise Against and many other like artists, Franklin has mixed their love for different styles of music into one unique sound.
