Florry, the Philly-bred septet and songwriting vehicle of bandleader Francie Medosch, are marking their territory as a band resolving to do something very different: they are having a really good time out there. Cutting her teeth in the Philadelphia DIY scene, Medosch has evolved Florry into a barn-burning seven-piece rock band, trafficking in a wider, more rock-oriented approach with the bravado of someone with a new lease on life.
