The Frames

The Frames were an Irish rock band, best known as the vehicle for Oscar-winning singer-songwriter Glen Hansard. Formed in Dublin in the late 1980s, the band gained a significant following for their emotive live performances and introspective songwriting. Hansard, the group's frontman, also achieved international fame for his role in the film 'Once' and his Academy Award-winning song 'Falling Slowly'. The Frames' music often explored themes of love, loss, and the human condition, resonating with audiences worldwide. Their recent newsworthiness stems from the tragic death of Glen Hansard in a motorcycle crash in Dublin at the age of 56. This event has brought renewed attention to his extensive musical legacy, including his work with The Frames, and has prompted widespread tributes from the music community and fans alike, highlighting the band's enduring impact on Irish music and beyond.
