2. What kind of songs are Picture In A Frame/Too Much To Ask?
Picture In A Frame/Too Much To Ask are a diamond in the rough to be sure. They combine earnest personal lyrics with the gravitas of wider worldly woes. Together they produce startling changes in direction and originality that imbue the songs with the attraction of something at once familiar and also innovative. Picture In A Frame/Too Much To Ask are mosh pit fillers and fist-in-the-air fucking bangers.
3. Which bands do The Fragz sound like?
Goodbye Blue Monday, Hateful, Fall Out Boy, and Against Me!
4. Which bands have inspired The Fragz?
They aren't saying or no one asked. The singer is rocking a Frenzal Rhomb T-Shirt so there's that. There's a lot of American pop-punk/emo in their sound like Green Day, Blink-182 or Fall Out Boy but a bit of classic punk like Stiff Little Fingers too.
