Who is Rough Francis?
Rough Francis is a punk-rock band, from Burlington, founded by three brothers — Bobby (Jr.), Urian and Julian Hackney. After learning later in life that their father and uncles were also in a 1970’s punk band in Detroit, Death, the Hackney brothers began their musical journey in tribute.

Lyrics:
"Tito's Revenge"
We were stepping out now we're out of step
No more shadows
No more background
Our words
Were not clear enough
You just walked on us
Now we'll walk on you
We heard the same old lines
Over and over
Over and over
This time
We want something else
Time to deliver
We need something real
