"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

“Glam/Indie/Electro Rock from the Great White North! The Framework sway like Suede lost in the disco!"
-CityBeat Magazine - Cincinatti, OH, USA

"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."
