Having already pre-sold 5,000 copies of his debut studio album "Circles & Squares" (out January 2009), Francis Rodino is releasing his unique brand of catchy and contemporary alternative-rock onto the scene. In 2007, Francis became the first UK male solo artist to achieve a $50,000 album budget through SellaBand, an online music site that encourages a direct relationship between artist and music lover, by investing in the production of an album.
