Framing Hanley Debut 2007-11-05 by RJAfan308 | 2 Comments | I'm not a great writer/reviewer, so here is a review from TuneLab Music- http://www.tunelabmusic.com/reviews/reviewid112.php?subaction=showcomments&id=11786003 27&archive=&start_from=&ucat=5&. Check out some of their music on their sputnik band profile.
"'The Moment' is a solid rock album that doesn't try to push the extremes of any one genre, making it appealing for fans all across the board. Opener "Built for Sin" is one of the album's strongest tracks dynamically, as it displays an impressive attention to detail in regards to guitar and vocal tones. Frontman Nixon is one of the strongest "pure" singers in recent memory, and he does manage to draw some intensity out of his vocal chords during the unexpected breakdown in the atmospheric "Hear Me Now", as well as in the punk-tinged "Wave Goodbye", which sees Nixon's voice impressively distorted to add a nice backbone to the song. Framing Hanley flash some of their catchy side in the hook-laden "Slow Dance" and in the soaring overtones of "All In Your Hands". The more I listen to 'The Moment', the more I hear Framing Hanley's similarities to 30 Seconds to Mars, which is most evident in the upbeat "It's Not What They Said". The band showcases the unique use of a synthesizer in the retro feel of "23 Days" and Chris shakes the album up a bit with his double bass work in "Count Me In". The true zenith of the album arrives at track 8 entitled "Alone In Your Bed", a truly masterful and touching acoustic ballad highly akin to Faktion's acoustic smash "Distance" which is the lyrical and musical envy of 'The Moment'."

I could have sworn this CD had been out for awhile.
Yeah, they're pretty good, I saw em while they were on tour with Evans Blue and I enjoyed what I heard kinda. The CD is somewhat repetitive, but it does have some nice tracks on there. They have promise of becoming something much better than they are now.
I prefer 3against1 though.

These guys are from my town. Played in a battle of the bands with them. Not too bad for radio rock.
