Framed

Have you ever felt boxed by expectations that others project onto you? Have you ever been reluctant to take a risk because of past failures?

Simeon explores these situations in 'Framed':
"Often I feel framed by peoples' opinions. I allow myself to be squashed by the moments I create. I know I box people. I know we box most things. Maybe it's a way of making the world a smaller place so that we can find a niche? The songs on 'Framed' explore these tensions and propose ideas of how to break free... to become part of something that cannot be framed."

Five singles from 'Framed' have been released to radio with huge success on community radio. Measured by airplay, 'Framed' has had 4 top 10 hits in the Rock Across Australia charts, including a number 2 with the song 'City Lights'. In addition, the liberating track 'Standing on the Mountain' had national commercial airplay on the Austereo network and regular play on Melbourne's Fox FM.

'Framed' is a reflective yet hard-hitting album. Its pop-rock sound and thoughtful songs have excited audiences across the globe. Initially released in 2004, Framed was re-released in February 2006 with two new recordings of ‘Home’ and ‘Crazy For You’.
