Your Favorite Franchise formed in Los Angeles around 2010 with Jesse Taylor on vocals and guitar, Ryan Murphy on bass, Jake Justice on drums, and Matt Breunig on keyboards. Their debut album, 'The Art of Control,' came out in 2012. The band's sound pulls from rock, pop, and electronic elements, with Taylor's lyrics often leaning introspective.
Their 2014 album 'All Out of Excuses' gave them a clearer breakthrough, anchored by the title track. Other songs from their catalog include 'Come Play,' 'Go With The Flow,' and 'Saying Goodbye.' They followed that album with 'The Great Divide' in 2017 and 'Echoes of the Void' in 2020.
The lineup has stayed consistent. Taylor's vocals and writing sit at the center, supported by Murphy's bass lines, Justice's drumming, and Breunig's keyboard textures. They've put out a live album, 'Live in Concert,' as well.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
