Never mind the Bio- just listen to the music. Frame 3-13 are all about and only about the music. The music comes first second and third for this young South Wales trio. They take it so seriously that it becomes fun. The musical version of the art which conceals art.

Their aim is simple- write really, really good songs, play them really, really well, get people listening, watching, dancing and having a really, really good time.

For the music think ‘Average white band’ (without the horns) A Welsh ‘Level 42’, and occasionally veering off to Abba/Kinks pop harmony wonderland with the raw energy usually associated with Punk.

It’s life-affirming funk pop rock. High tempo, guitar/bass/drums, with deceptive harmonies and irresistible dance ability. Life is short, it’s up to you what you do with it, or your 'dash' as the boys call it in their provocative track ‘Shadows’, (that’s the 'dash' between your date of birth and death on your gravestone,). While you are thinking about that have a good time with us. That’s the message according to front man/singer/writer/vocalist Jack Brimacombe now 19 from Swansea. He lives to perform, play and write. When they play it is not a recital it’s a show. Top music, top fun. Quirky banter with the audience is a trade mark Frame 3-13 feature. Enjoyment is compulsory.

Jack is completely focused on what he wants to achieve. His adolescent features mean there’s a big teenage female following for Frame 3-13, but Jack prefers to sleep with his guitar. Thinking about personal and off beat themes for songs and future plans for world domination of the Funk Pop music scene, with songs like ‘Suicidal Sister’, ‘Shadows’ and ‘Fall Into Something’.

Wayne Thomas, 19, on bass and vocals. Mediterranean tan, peroxide hair. Wayne plays that funky rhythm like his life depends on it.

Wayne also believes that not having a musical idol as he was growing up, may have helped him to develop his own original style. From Llanelli Jack and Wayne met in their footballing days. He gave up thoughts of a promising sporting career in favour of music only to see many of his contemporaries now in the Welsh squad.

The third member of Frame 3-13 Kyle Voros 19, a classical musician, trained in Piano and Violin, but for Frame 3-13 Kyle is on drums and eerie falsetto harmonies. He is a manic musical bespectacled genius with a thumping beat. Kyle's musical ability doesn't just stop there. His knowledge of music technology and his unique understanding of how the band want to sound, has led him to become Frame 3-13's producer.

They have played gigs across South Wales and are in demand from a growing number of venues with a crowd pleasing set and a loyal, growing band of enthusiastic followers. The most memorable gig was when they were booked by mistake to play for a Hells Angel pub in Neath by someone who thought they were like Motorhead- but they had the men in leather dancing and grooving before the night was out. Not bad for a bunch of eighteen year old kids.

Their much coveted CD ‘Artwork of Youth’ is currently being produced by the Voros Brothers and contains a selection of their growing number of songs. In the meantime they have plans for more gigs, C.D, more practice, more practice and of course, more writing.

One signature song "We Wan’oo" encapsulates their attitude with the lyrics ‘We don’t Care’, but hear the songs and you will discover they really, really do care.
