A quartet with their hearts worn proudly on their sleeves, FRAMING HANLEY are a band for fans of melding genres masterfully. Since their arrival onto the scene in 2007, Framing Hanley have picked up a gold plaque from the RIAA, earned over a half-billion streams, accolades from Billboard, Loudwire, Kerrang! and more, further cementing that their emotion-fueled songwriting produced songs that people could really attach themselves to. With four studio albums in their impressive catalog, including the cover of Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” that went Gold, the band is a rarity, equally as comfortable on a bill with acts like Good Charlotte to Sick Puppies.
From Nashville, Framing Hanley are comprised of Kenneth Nixon (vocals, guitar), Nic Brooks (guitar), Jonathan Stoye (bass), and Matt Naff (drums), and their anthemic rock-infused R&B continues to garner new fans with every single drop.
Today, they share the new single “Poor lil’ Me.” Listen here. [[ADD LINK]]
“‘Poor lil’ Me’ is a gut-punch of a song for the disillusioned dreamers — a generation raised on hope and handed anxiety. It’s about the slow corrosion of innocence, the weight of expectations, and trying to feel human in a world built for machines,” the band says.
The band continues, “Lyrically, this song is brutally honest; feeling like a cry for help as much as it is a middle finger to apathy. In a day and age where we feel more like we are living to work rather than working to live, this song taps into the numbness so many silently carry, while the chorus explodes with a desperate need to feel ANYTHING real. This song is a cathartic scream in a quiet room, and will resonate with fans of emotionally raw alt-rock. This song is Framing Hanley at their most honest — broken, bleeding, but still swinging.”
