The Frames

The Frames are an influential Irish band that have carved out a passionate fan base with their emotionally resonant brand of rock music since their formation in 1990. Founded by Glen Hansard, the group's frontman and principal songwriter, The Frames have consistently garnered critical acclaim for their dynamic performances and profound lyrical content. Fusing folk, rock, and traditional Irish elements, their sound is characterized by stirring melodies and Hansard's distinctive, heartfelt vocal delivery.

The band's journey began with the album "Another Love Song" and they experienced a commercial breakthrough with "Fitzcarraldo" and subsequent albums like "Dance The Devil" and "For the Birds." Their 2004 release "Burn the Maps" and 2006's "The Cost" further solidified their place in the indie music scene, with tracks like "Fake" and "Falling Slowly”—the latter eventually earning an Academy Award for Best Original Song after being featured in the film "Once," which starred Hansard. With a reputation for creating a deep connection with audiences through their live shows, captured in albums like "Set List," The Frames' body of work alongside their more than three-decade tenure stands as a testament to their enduring appeal and artistry. Their 2015 release "Longitude" serves both as a retrospective and a celebration, showcasing some of the band's most beloved songs and highlighting their significant impact on the Irish music landscape and beyond.
