The five-piece band hailing from Nashville, TN, Framing Hanley, release a re-issue of 2007's "The Moment." The re-issue has two new acoustic remakes of songs, and the cover of Lil' Wayne's , 'Lollipop.' As I looked at the name of this band, Framing Hanley, I wondered to myself if the well of good band names has finally run dry, and if this band name was the reason for that. As it turns out, the drummer, Chris lost his girlfriend in a fatal car accident and her name was Ashley Hanley...

It is very rare for me to purchase music on a whim, but I did with Framing Hanley's début album The Moment. Having only heard their fun and rockin' version of Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" and the lingering angst filled follow-up "Hear Me Now," I was pretty impressed with this band from Tennessee, USA. The five-piece, with their alt-rock/melodic, hard rock style, formed in 2005 and in 2006 were lucky to be spotted by former Creed bassist, Brett Hestla, who helped them record their first demo...

Summary: Hindered Abel & Benjamin Trapt with a Staind Creed & Nickel for 3 Days. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". It is a phrase which advocates learning from one's mistakes, but inherently built into its message is that the party doing the fooling is the same on both occasions. When it comes to music, it would seem that the party in question would be a particular artist... However, could the saying be stretched to entire genres...

Sound: Framing Hanley may call Nashville, Tennessee their hometown but the rock quintet's sound is loaded with melodically taut frizzing in the guitar chords and seething riffage symbolic of 30 Seconds To Mars. The band's latest release A Promise To Burn triggers modern rock flusters in the vane of Breaking Benjamin with howling vibrations that shear a path of crisscrossing slashes...

Release Date: May 25, 2010 "This song ain't about candy, but we're suckers all the same." Whatever can be said about that verse, odds are strong that those that find it appealing are going to like Framing Hanley's new disc A Promise to Burn. Those that don't, probably won't have many good things to say. While it shouldn't be that simple, unfortunately it is...

Framing Hanley are best-known for their cover of Lil Wayne's "Lollipop." In their hands, the rap-pop hit became a creepy modern-rock dirge that sounded like junior varsity Korn. The vibe of the Nashville band's 2007 debut, The Moment, wasn't quite as crisp; the album often sounded generic and monotonous as it copied the slo-mo, layered roars of Deftones circa "Change (In The House Of Flies)...

Moment by Framing Hanley welds earnest emo gestures to heavy-edged modern rock, coming off somewhere on the spectrum between Incubus' post-grunge alt rock and Fall Out Boy's cresting emo attack. (The Nashville band could also safely be compared to 30 Seconds to Mars...
