No, it has nothing to do with fast food.
The Franchise is a Washington-DC-based rock band, who draw from our times in various other locales to create a true DC sound.
The music has been described as "geek rock," but you don't have to be a geek to like it: from quirky covers to songs about pets, comic books, or middle eastern food, The Franchise has your number.
If you enjoy what used to be called “college rock,” alternative rock, and New Wave—things along the lines of Talking Heads, REM, They Might Be Giants, U2, the Cure, XTC, Cake, early Police, etc., then you might conceivably enjoy the Franchise as well.
Do check it out.
