In November 2007, Francis Rodino became only the 2nd UK artist to achieve a $50,000 album budget -- entirely financed by his international fan-base -- through the new music website and label, Sellaband.com.

Francis' sound is unmistakable. A fusion of folk, alternative, and modern rock rests at the heart of musical simplicity. The Francis Rodino Band is rapidly gaining the reputation of one of the best live acts around, having recently played alongside Keane and Dutch superstars Blof, his music is powerfully melodic -- and memorable -- with live performances revealing an intensity that captivates the audience.

Francis' colourful pastiche of chiming guitars, radio-friendly hooks and soulful vocals is expressive and has the ability to connect with people on an intimate and personal level. His songs are instantly memorable and in combination with his deeply expressive musicality, Francis Rodino is able to touch a live audience with an ease which is rare and distinctive.

Francis's energy-charged band consists of Nik Hollis (Electric Guitar), Allan Burls (Bass), Matt George (Drums) and Ellis Mordecai (Piano).
