Lead singer & songwriter Kenneth Nixon, guitarists Tim Huskinson and Brandon Wooten, bassist Luke McDuffee and drummer Chris Vest came together to form Framing Hanley and quickly gained a large following in Nashville.

In November 2006, these demos were discovered by Brett Hestla, former Creed bassist and frontman of Dark New Day.

In an interview with HitQuarters Hanson said he "flipped out" when he heard the song "Hear Me Now" and decided immediately he wanted to sign them.

In early November 2009, Framing Hanley entered the studio to start working on the sophomore record, A Promise to Burn.

[5] Through Facebook and Twitter, the band has uploaded a video explaining everything that has happened to them in the past year.

Nixon explains the band leaving their record label and the struggle to make another album.

According to their official Twitter feed, and other fan sites, Framing Hanley has named Robert Venable as the mixing engineer for this album.
