Framing Hanley

For Framing Hanley, everything happened rather organically on the back of a lot of hard graft. They quickly began to build a large following uploading early recordings onto the social media platform, MySpace. In November 2006, Creed’s former bass player, Brian Hestla stumbled upon the band and helped the quintet record another demo in his studio based in Florida. He then presented the demo to his label, Silent Majority Group who were blown away by the band’s sound, signing them immediately.

“The Moment” was released on May 15th 2007 and made it into the Billboard 200, peaking at number 169. The leading single from the album, “Lollipop”, achieved Gold certification, reaching number 82 in the Billboard Hot 100 and number 22 in the US Alternative Chart. Following extensive touring, the band re entered the studio to work on their second album, “A Promise to Burn”, which after it was released on May 25th 2010, peaked at number 57 in the Billboard 200 and number 9 in the Alternative chart. They also earned the accolade of “Best Modern Rock Band” in the Top In Rock Awards. They even covered “In Bloom” for the release of a cover album of “Nevermind” fronted by Kerrang! to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album.

Unfortunately, the band decided to part with their label, and uploaded a video to their YouTube explaining their past year, discussing how difficult it has been for the band. They started a Kickstarter campaign, asking every fan to donate a dollar to the funding of their following album, and luckily raised enough to embark on the recording of their album, which was later released on April 29th 2014, peaking at number 79 in the Billboard 200, and number 14 in the Alternative chart. It was called “The Sum of Who We Are”. The single from the album “Criminal” made it to number 22 in the US Main Rock Chart.
