Framed are a Birmingham based band originally formed in 2005, the band originally consisted of Steven Creighton (Lead Vocals), Joe Holliday (guitar), Andrew Cupitt (Bass, vocals) and Ashley Edwards (drums, vocals). The group started playing together following the dissolve of an earlier covers group, Flashman Burns. Following the loss of Andy and Ash to the holiday entertainment business, enter Matt Holmes on bass and Ashley Yardley on Drums (Mr. Yardley being the ex keyboardist from Flashman Burns). Several line up changes were to follow, essentially the exchange between Steven and Andy on lead vocals and likewise between Ash n Ash on drums. During the time between late 2005 and summer 2009, Framed performed in and around the Birmingham area playing in such venues as The Flapper & Firkin', The Bar Academy, The Spotted Dog and so on... It was during 2009 that Framed entered and qualified for the regional final of Live and Unsigned... Shortly after Ash Ed's went to work abroad and left Framed without a drummer yet again. It wasn't until late that year after many auditions did the group become aquanted with Kim Harris. Followed by a revitalised set and solid beats the band found a new beginning, Framed then began reworking the unsigned circuit in the midlands. In 2010 Framed entered the studio for the first time recording there three most solid tracks, this gave a true insight into the artistic direction of the group. During that time Framed wrote and recorded a track in aid of the British troops, namely Rules on War. This track later gained air play on the BBC WM Introducing show, highlighting the Help for Heroes charity. After two gigs in early 2011 Framed were then joined by one, Luke Clarke, a truly fantastic guitarist who brings a whole new dimension to the Framed sound. From this point forward there is just five enthused musicians looking for any opportunity to showcase what we have and put on a show. Framed pride themselves as not only a band but a group that provides a full show with maximum entertainment!!! See you at the bar?
