Dublin, Ireland rockers the Frames D.C. were led by singer Glen Hansard, who quit school at age 13 to begin busking on the streets near his family's home. After pressing 50 copies of a demo tape four years later, he was soon approached by Island Records exec Danny Cordell and signed to the label, but was dropped after releasing just one album, 1992's Another Love Song. Reeling from disappointment, Hansard decamped to New York City before returning to Dublin to reform the Frames with guitarist David Odlum, bassist Graham Downey, violinist Colm MacConIomaire and drummer Paul Brennan; signing to ZTT, the group released Fitzcarraldo in 1996. Dance the Devil followed in mid-1999. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
