FRAMING HANLEY

FRAMING HANLEY is poised to explode in 2011 with a combination of great music, great looks, and energetic live performances. Debut album 'The Moment' was recorded in six short weeks. Taking its cues from the likes of 30 Seconds To Mars and 3 Doors Down, the album melded ballads with post-grunge anthems.

By the time the anthemic rock band FRAMING HANLEY entered the studio in 2009 to start working on the follow-up to their 2007 debut, they were practically a different band than the quintet that emerged from Nashville, Tennessee three long years before. Sure, their music was still infectious, euphoric and at times melancholic, but they bore the marks of finesse and experience that only come from years of touring.

FRAMING HANLEY's second album 'A Promise to Burn' is full of tight-fisted melodies, soaring guitars, and yearning harmonies that express the joy of artistic expression and the duality of being in a rock band while showcasing their rapid growth as musicians and songwriters, and promises to captivate and grow their already rabid fan base.

Unlike 'The Moment', which was written by a bunch of giddy kids who had never left their home town, 'A Promise to Burn' was culled from years of experience, revealing both the triumphs and tribulations of being in a successful rock band. It's an honest, unflinching record that illustrates how hard it can be to find the silver lining inside the dark clouds and at the same time, how some of the best rewards can come from not giving up on dreams.
