Had the BEST time in Bristol catching my LA shoegaze faves @modottiband.bsky.social on the first night of their UK run. You NEED to see them when they hit your town, and bring your £££ because their merch game is STRONG ❤️‍🔥

Best people best jams.

Perfect post day 🩷 ALL the love for the beautiful second album by @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social (@subjangle.bsky.social). I wrote some words about Anything Of Us earlier this year which you can check out here: heavymetalkids.music.blog/2025/08/26/g...

Absolutely delighted to be in the company of this fine 7” from two of the very best out there doing it. All the love to @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social and @assistant.bandcamp.com 🤍

Mission Dolores Park memories ❤️ Just want to move everybody I care about to San Francisco and stay there forever, is that too much to ask? Wishing the indie Bluesky family a beautiful weekend x

The biggest thank you to everyone who has supported my music this year. These songs exist simply because they have to, the fact a few of you seem to enjoy what I do means the absolute world. Home Truths coming early 2026, this year’s four digital singles available here: francarlyon.bandcamp.com

Hugely grateful to @austintownhall.bsky.social for the very kind words about my new single Living Your Last Chance: austintownhall.com/2025/10/23/f...

I’m retreating into winter to finish recording a mini-album, due for release in the spring. Much love to you all 🧡🙏

In case you missed it, two new songs, Living Your Last Chance and A Place To Land (demo), out now via my Bandcamp page. Free to download or pay what you want. These songs exist simply because they have to, if anyone cares to listen it’s a beautiful bonus: francarlyon.bandcamp.com/album/living...

Delighted to learn that one of my songs is to be played out on San Francisco radio station @bff.fm later today.

iluvmondays (@wkcraven.bsky.social) airs from 6pm to 7pm UK time, if you’d like to listen you can do so at the link: bff.fm

It is surreal, amazing and mildly terrifying to be able to announce that I’ll be playing a couple of songs ahead of the Sad Eyed Beatniks’ set at The Knockout, San Francisco on Saturday 20th September.

To those who helped to make this happen, I’ll never be able to thank you enough.

Spent last weekend doing an absolute madness at @endoftheroadfestival.com. Dancing to Caribou will stay with me always, what a festival ❤️

I’ll stick a few clips underneath this post, none of which could possibly do justice to the most epic of (wet) weekends…

Thank you to all who have given my new song a listen. It’s about loss, and how I came to learn that nobody ever really leaves, you just need to find the place where their soul sings loudest: francarlyon.bandcamp.com/album/ten-ye...

Hello indie Bluesky, apologies if I’m a little slow with my replies relating to the blog and stuff, we’re pulling a cheeky one in Italy. A ton of love to you all 💚🤍❤️

Thanks to all who tuned into the radio show last night. Currently away on a cheeky anniversary break with @juliacarlyon.bsky.social, will aim to have the show streaming on catch-up for Wednesday. Much love to you all.

TONIGHT! 8pm at www.shipfullofbombs.co.uk. Two hours of underground indie incoming. This show is a pre-record and there’ll sadly be no live playlist here this evening, but wall-to-wall bangers are guaranteed 🤍
July 14, 2025 at 6:01 AM
Join me Monday for two hours of underground independent sounds for @shipfullofbombs.bsky.social. As ever, www.shipfullofbombs.co.uk is the place, I’d be delighted if you stopped by…
