Dublin, Ireland, alternative pop band the Frames are led by the gifted singer/songwriter Glen Hansard, who quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local streets. At 17, he borrowed money from his parents to record a demo, pressing 50 copies that he distributed to family and friends; one of the copies made its way to Island Records' Denny Cordell, who successfully lobbied label founder Chris Blackwell to sign Hansard to the roster.
