In the movie Stand By Me, the narrator (played by Richard Dreyfus) comments (and I’m paraphrasing) that he never had better friends than when he was 12. And while yes, I would be willing to agree with that assessment on some levels I would add that personally, I have a similar affection for the people I surrounded myself with at age 21.

It’s easy to feel that way about the relationships that were forged during intense periods of development in our lives. During those periods each conversation seems to be some unique discovery. Each feeling and word, each shared moment seems to have a weight to it that cannot possibly be described. We’re bad-ass, invulnerable, unstoppable and undeterred. It’s impossible to even consider that those friendships may change over time. Someone might move away while another may meet a new group of friends. Some differences that seemed negligible might become insurmountable. Responsibilities, priorities and goals all establish a new order in your daily life. Over time, the routines you knew fade and new ones emerge and eventually, those relationships that completely defined you become old books on your shelf that serve as a reminder of the experiences that got you to where you are today.

Luckily for me, I still know many of the people that I consider to be so very important in my early development. Many of those friendships continue to evolve to this day building upon (in some cases) 30+ years of shared experience and friendship. So I could, let’s say, with but an email, contact all of them and ask if they would reunite their band Fracture for one night to play at my 40th birthday party.

Even luckier for me is that each of them would consider me someone worth doing that for and each of their relationships (strained by time, distance or life in general) would consider each other worth it as well.

So yeah, Fracture is reuniting and playing for the first time in almost 20 years this Friday, July 18th. It’s going to fucking rool. Check out the photo above to see the guys practicing! Atom snapped it last week.

Sometime in the summer of 2003, about 4 years after Franklin broke up, something brought the four of us together again to practice. While I don’t recall what the impetus was for anyone else, for me, I know that it had to do with really wanting to play democratically once again.

You see, after Franklin, I did a thing called AM/FM with my good friend Mike. And while we both had creative input in that band, it was certainly my responsibility to write the core structure of most of the songs.

At first, that was really liberating, not being in a band where all members had equal voice in how a song should sound. But after a few years of being the sole person responsible for writing, I definitely started to feel a strain on what I could do on my own. I missed that creative spark that occurs only when a group of people inspire each other to create.

So Franklin started practicing again. It was casual. No specific plans were made. It was just to enjoy the process once more or, at least see if we could enjoy the process once more. If anything came of it, so be it.

During this time, a friend was working on a compilation of Philadelphia bands that were around at the time. He kindly asked to include us on the release and with that, we recorded one of the songs we were working on. I believe we might have written a small handful of new songs but this was the only one to ever be recorded.
