- (This page is about the British band. For the Irish band of the same name, see Frames(2)).
The Frames were a post punk band from Portsmouth, originally fronted by Paul Nethercott (vocalist), Nick Radford (guitar), Muzz Murray (bass) and Steven Wood (drums). The band released their 1979 single, 'False Accusations' and later on Paul was replaced by Sue Jonas, a pale, Siouxsie-soundalike chanteuse and the band recorded a couple of tracks for the South Specific album. They were later asked to record a session for John Peel's show in 1981, before splitting up.
