Buy The Frames' new album. If you have not heard of The Frames, cop the fuck on, get some sense it ya boy. Buy Dance the devil and realise you have missed a decade (give or take) of quality music from the finest band Ireland has to offer.

On the left is Glen Hansard, the leading man in the frames. This photo (No props, if you know the owner of this photo, mail me) pretty much sums up Glen. He's is a pure entertainer, he tells little stories while tuning or building up an intro (not unlike Christy Moore). He feels the music he makes and this comes through in every perfomance I have seen (quite a few). His voice has the strengths from super low to the super high).

The Frames is one of a few bands where I actually go out and buy their music (David Kitt also). That is because I actually care about the Irish music industry and it need as much support as we can give. Ireland is too small to take our artists for granted. Otherwise we will lose them to another country or worse, they break up and we lose them altogether.

Buy "Burn The Maps" by The Frames.
