Francis of Delirium is the Luxembourg based guitar/drums duo Jana Bahrich and Chris Hewett, a Canadian from Vancouver and an American from Seattle, respectively. They are musicians roughly a generation apart who apparently connected through their love for the '90s grunge sound, and decided to make that a cornerstone of their music. It is by no means the whole thing though. The band pulls off the "a melodic pop heart beating inside a tough indie rock exterior" trick perfectly. The guitar licks and the drum attacks are certainly inspired by the Pacific Northwest alt rock scene of that period. The vocals and the way the songs are put together on the other hand, have a lighter, more contemporary pop flow with clear indications of Bahrich''s ample songwriting chops. Note that Hewett does not tour, so the band's live show line up tends to be different.
