The Frank and Walters signed to Setanta Records in 1991. The Frank’s first hit single ‘After All’ from ‘Trains, Boats & Planes’ resulted with the band’s first appearance on Top Of The Pops. The second album ‘Grande Parade’ was described by NME as “The jauntiest of melodic joys” with tracks like ‘Colours’ (featured on Tom Dunne's Alternative Irish Anthems), propelling The Franks to new heights. With Noel Gallagher as their roadie and supported by Suede & Radiohead the band toured the world and gained a loyal following with their energetic live shows, infectious melodies and seemingly irrepressible happiness. Written in New York, ‘Beauty Becomes More Than Life’ was described by NME as “A lost classic for the 21st century.” Following the release of ‘Glass’ and their ‘Best Of’ album in 2002, the band took a break from recording & gigging.

In early 2005 the band began writing again and signed to FIFA Records. Starting with a double album release titled “Souvenirs” in September 2005 and following up with a new album in March 2006 titled “Renewed Interest in Happiness”, The Franks are preparing to take their rightful place as one of music’s most creative and enduring acts.
