Framing Hanley release music video for Criminal

We recently told you the exciting news about Framing Hanley and how they released their new album, The Sum of Who We on their new label Imagen Records. This is Framing Hanley‘s third CD and the first in 4 years. Frontman Nixon explains, “There was definitely a dark period during the 2 years we spent recording this.That’s not to say this album is some dark and brooding album. There are definitely some light-hearted tunes on here as well; some that are fun. This album is the past 2 years of our lives and is every part of our beings…that’s what the title means. This album really is the sum of who we are. The thing that I love most is, I think when the listener puts on those headphones, or puts the cd in the car, he or she is gonna listen and come to find out, hey, me and this guy have got some things in common!”

The album is the bands boldest artistic statement to date capturing the essence of innocence and hope, light and darkness, struggle and determination. They have recently released a music video for their hit single off the album, Criminal. The video was directed by Mason Dixon, making this the sixth time the band has worked with the director. Check it out here:

The Sum Of Who We Are was funded entirely by the band’s loyal fanbase by donating money via a Kickstarter campaign. “First and foremost, our incredible fans are the reason it’s even possible” states Nixon. “They funded the entire thing on Kickstarter. That is still unbelievable to us. This record from start to ﬁnish is everything that we have in us. The ‘sum of who we are’ if you will.” This new album delivers modern alternative rock with catchy choruses, pop hooks and emotionally driven lyrics that will have you singing along in no time.
