Syndicated Madness
In 2022 Frank teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Pelle Karlsson — Hammond, piano, bass, guitar, vocals — for a project that goes straight back to his early-seventies roots: Bowie, Zeppelin, Purple, The Doors.
The album It’s Not The End(2022) came first. Then the partnership carried straight into the 2026 solo EP — credited “Brian Bee Frank & Syndicated Madness”. One ecosystem, one voice at its centre.
