NEWS - CURRENT - NEWS
Our official website is back online at last. We had to sort out a new host and some file re-constructions. Visit it here .
Recording of our second album [yet to be named], has reached its final stages. We only have the vocals left to record before the mixing and marketing can begin. Plans are also underway to record a CD with new re-vamped versions of some of our older songs during 2008. A three or four track E.P. is also in the pipeline.
As a result of the extra recording this year and also some major re-construction work going on to our recording studio and rehearsal room, we have fallen well behind with our plans for the remainder of 2007. The organising of gigs will have to wait a while, but rest assured that as soon as we can, we will get on the case, and get a few live shows booked.
We are also putting together a video to go with our song "This is our world". Although ideas are still being considered and reserved, the end product is far from decided. In the video we will be highlighting the ever increasing ecological problems that is happening right now here on our planet. We plan to continue work on this in 2008.
Meanwhile, we wanted to produce a visual of some description this year, so we quickly put together a small experimental "bit-of-fun" video of our song "Quick Rebellion". We have used a mixture of movie, photos and art to view while listening. This track will also be on the new album.
The photos in the photo section below are from a late summer/early autumn photo shoot in 2006. We will be changing the photos from time to time, as we have lots more to use.
More information on the four tracks in the player above can be found by scrolling down this page.

ABOUT THE TRACKS WE'VE SELECTED FOR THIS PAGE
"Quick Rebellion" reflects our love of space rock. This track was originally written in the late 80's as a solo compositon for one of Paul Denison's solo albums. It was then re-written and became a Frayed Edge track in 1991. It has now been re-written again to suit the current Frayed Edge style.
Late September 2006, saw the writing of a brand new track "This is our world". This track reflects our influences within the genre's of metal and heavy rock, and a little blues break thrown in as well.
"Can't get out of bed" was written in 1990, and received some excellent reviews in the local media. It became a crowd favourite back then, and is still very well received today. This track undoubtedly reflects our punk influence.
"Voices" is one of our more progressive tracks. It has been included in all of our recent set lists due to the favourable comments it has received from various audiences since it was written. The song was written in the latter part of 2005.

BEGINNINGS
Frayed Edge were formed by Paul Denison (guitars & vocals) and Kevin Mulvey (drums) in 1988. Ginger became the first bass player, and Mark Ferris became lead vocalist for a short while. Mark Ryan (current member) replaced Ginger on bass when he left, and Patrick James (also current member) joined as new drummer when Kevin had to leave. Jan Patterson stepped in as drummer when Patrick had to leave in 1991, but it was all change again in 1992 when Jan left and Mark moved to live in Germany for a few years. Kev Mulvey rejoined as drummer along with Hannah Young as the new bass player. Then Hannah left, so Paul ended the band later on in 1992. The current band members re-formed Frayed Edge in 2004.
Below is a video showing a couple of samples of our early stuff from 1990. It was recorded with very dated technology and has also lost some of the quality on the upload, so it's quite good, but far from excellent. The music is set to some photos and art that change during play.

Record Label: Self production currently.
Type of Label: None
