ReFrame, started as a studio concept...a place for some like minded musicians to write and record music without the typical constraints of being in a traditional band. No concerns for genre, or other limitations. As the songs started coalescing it became apparent that the chemistry and these songs needed to see the stage. ReFrame has opened for Andy Timmons, Tantric, Tony MacAlpine, Collective Soul, Doug Pinnick(King's X), Michael Angelo Batio, September Mourning, Lillian Axe, Schism(Official Tool Tribute Band), Reverend Jack, Neil Zaza, and numerous others.
Despite the craziness of 2020, ReFrame released our debut album Reaching Revery on Luminol Records. Which featured guest appearances from Corey Glover of Living Colour and Neil Citron of Bangtower and Black Cat 6.
We were very fortunate that during the pandemic we became involved in the soundtrack for a movie being produced in the Memphis area. Here we got to perform on tracks featuring Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Al Pitrelli of Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Savatage, Derek Sherinian formerly of Dream Theater and currently of Billy Idol, Sons Of Apollo, and Black Country Communion, Corey Glover of Living Colour, Jeff Scott Soto of Sons Of Apollo and Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Eric Gales, and Saving Abel. In early July of 2021 the second movie began filming and we appeared in it performing as the opening act for a band featuring Al Pitrelli, Stu Hamm, Gary Hoey, Derek Sherinian, and Brian Tichy.
Here's some Press on ReFrame:
Dave "That Metal Guy" Campbell at Metal-Temple.com
"I was not only won over, but became immersed in their melodies and songwriting to the point of a big smile on my face that refused to go away as the album continued on. I highly recommend this to any fans of Progressive Metal and those who are looking for that next big band…because this is it!"
Songwriting: 9
Musicianship: 10
Memorability: 9
Production: 9
Stefan Hennig at DPRP.net (He also voted us in his top ten albums of 2020)
"If any of this makes you inquisitive, follow your instincts. It has been some time since a prog-metal album has wetted my appetite as much as Reaching Revery has. It is not only a stunning debut, but a potential classic. If you like your musical boundaries being pushed to the maximum, give this a go. I don't think you will be disappointed"
"ReFrame's "Reaching Revery" is an absolutely powerful and ambitious debut, highlighting the qualities and potential of the band."
Jerry Lucky author of Progressive Rock Files
"This is music that sits comfortably alongside the more proggy releases from Styx, Magnum, Rush and even a band like Angel. Over half of these compositions are over seven minutes in length so when you combine some great guitar riffs with a driving rhythm section knocking off some inventive musical passages and then insert a hint of tasty keyboards, well it comes together to make for some really fine prog-influenced listening. The other thing is these are very good songs, good harmonies and great melodies, which again elevates the music overall. Fans of the band’s mentioned above along with fans of heavier prog and Prog Metal will find much to enjoy listening to Reaching Revery."

ReFrame review at Rocknation.it(in Italian with english translation)

English Translation:
“ReFrame are from Memphis and this double concept album, "Reaching Revery" on Luminol Records is their debut. A record that opens immediately with the long and articulated "Fear" that starts with piano and voice only and then launches into a succession of riffs, sometimes neurotic tempo changes, but guided by a strong expressive charge as if to reaffirm the firm will to "tell" with music.
Reality as a set of interchangeable and perceptible levels in a different way, to the point of total daze, this is the theme with which ReFrame have fun. Songs like “The Unbegun” or “And The Light Shall Lie” constantly play on contrast and a rhythm that takes your breath away. On the contrary, “All Yours” gives us an airy and difficult melody to match with a metal album, even if the guitar carpet remains powerful and round.
Surprisingly, echoes of Linkin 'Park take over the notes of "April Showers", proving how the musical formation of the ReFrame does not fear forays into other territories. And it is precisely this fact that makes listening to "Reaching Revery" interesting: it is as if a new generation of rockers, which grew up in the early 2000s, is coming into the limelight, and while following the stylistic features of a strongly codified genre such as Progressive Metal, manages to enrich it with nuances that speak of the musical formation of the individual components.
The album thus alternates reminiscences of the aforementioned Linkin 'Park, Dream Theater, Styxs - the voice in "Fearless" seems to be that of Dennis De Young -, Epica and Rush. Just like the Yes who cited the Beatles in their long suites, so does this new generation, citing their first idols and sources of inspiration.
That a new musical phase is making its way can only please as well as seeing that there are no more musical and generational borders: "I Want To Be More" sing the ReFrame along with Corey Glover of Living Color, and that this is the right mantra for them and all their fellow musician brothers.”
