Hugely popular in their homeland of Ireland, the Frames top the charts and play to 30,000 people in Dublin. The aptly-titled live album is their fifth and the one they're hoping will connect in America. The quintet's sound draws upon such acts as the Clash (with whom they share a love of the anthemic) and the Pixies (with whom they share a quest for more oblique explorations), as well as on native traditions (albeit updated with a big wallop and galloping propulsion). Recorded before an enthusiastic audience, the band is clearly spurred on by the adoration, as well as a sense of community. The songs often feel like they're giving voice to their countrymen, celebrating a shared sense of justice, outrage, home, faith, and hope. One of the secrets to the band's dazzling and incendiary sound is the mix of full throttle guitar and soaring violin. Lead singer Glen Hansard builds heartfelt ruminations into his between song patter, and leads the band down many surprise avenues, with bits of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" appearing out of their own numbers. --David Greenberger

Rating : - I am a big The Frames Fan Now!
I got introduced to The Frames after seeing the movie "Once." I absolutely loved the movie and the soundtrack. The actual band in the movie was The Swell Season which was formerly The Frames where they replaced one member with Marketa Irglova (the lady singer/piano player in the movie). Both bands are great; however, my favorite is The Frames. These guys are absolutely magical and electrifyingly musical, and lyrical. They rock! My two favorite albums of The Frames that you must buy whether you are a fan or not are The Set List and the Fitscarraldo. If you are a music lover, you will absolutely love the Set List and Fitscarraldo by The Frames. Do the right thing and help these great musicians out by spreading the word. Although now they are becoming very well known and famous, they are very humble and they show true appreciation of their listeners and fans. They do great music and they deserve your recognition.
