"The best new band I've seen in I don't know how many years. Born to conquer." - Emm Gryner - Singer/Songwriter and President of Dead Daisy Records
"I fell in love with the framework. Their music reminds me of partying with best friends. It's catchy in the right ways and it doesn't leave my head. And not that it matters but they're also super hot.” -Lauren Toyota - TV Host of "Going Coastal” MUCHMUSIC
"Contractors are coming in tonight to put the roof back on...fucking brilliant !" -Bobbi Guy - The Mod Club on The Framework's February 2008 performance at the Mod Club (Toronto)
“Both on and off stage, it’s easy to feed off the enthusiasm of this band . They are true performers, each show packs a punch - definitely a group of kids to keep your eye on.” -Jacqueline Kendall - Publicist for Global Television
"An irresistable UK sound that reels you in, ambitious, stunningly catchy synth-rock gems merged with indie legends like The Cure, The Smiths and Suede. The Framework is the antidote to complacent music in the TO scene, revitalizing your ears with Brit cool, the soundtrack to London's urban wonderland, in our very own city." -Lonely Vagabond- Independent Reviewer + Music Supporter
"Catchy hooks, powerful words, and soaring synths, 2008 will be the year of The Framework." - Jordan Fontaine - Spiritlive.net
THE FRAMEWORK is a Toronto-based new-wave rock band formed in late 2006. At barely 3 months old, the band garnered national attention as a result of winning runner-up in the Mix 99.9's 2007 RadioStar Songwriting Contest, for the song, "She Thinks I'm Famous”. The combination of buzz from the contest and the band's catchy synth-rock epics instantly set THE FRAMEWORK up with an extensive online international fan base and sparked the interest of media outlets such as Metro Daily and InsideE magazine. In the latter publication, the band was chosen as a hot ticket event for March 2008 amongst highly revered acts Foo Fighters and Sum 41.
Upon releasing their eagerly anticipated self-titled EP and playing to near sold out crowds in Toronto, opening for DJ Champion in Ottawa and a stint at New York City’s Arlene’s Grocery, THE FRAMEWORK have become not only a local favorite but continue to be one of the most talked about Toronto independent acts by international music lovers and tastemakers alike.
Currently, THE FRAMEWORKhave enlisted highly acclaimed international DJ’s including Crookram of the RAC (Bloc Party/CSS/Tegan and Sara), Camp America (Athelete/Caves), and Vitaminsforyou (Emm Gryner/ Arcade Fire/Madrid) to remix original songs from their self-titled debut.

I wish I could make it to your show on the 26th but my boyfriend has a show at Reilly's that same night! I would have come to your show on July 5th but he had a show at the Reverb with Kris Roe from the Ataris that night, so I couldn't miss that... One day, I WILL come to one of your shows, I promise! Thanks for letting me know about it though! Sorry again. :( Vicki <3
That was a great set at The Kathedral for NXNE. Certain bands evoke the feeling of that point-in-time I discovered UK music. Britpop Now BBC special. The Smiths. The Drowners video by Suede. The NME. The Roses. The power. The sensuality. The sincerity. The attitude. Listen to The Framework for a musical benchmark of The Britpop era.
Hey Framework, Great Sound. Love to do a show together. We're playing the Mod Club Sat June 14/2008. Love to see you there!!! If you'd like to be on the guestlist message us
