The Philadelphia band Frail only existed for a few years in the ’90s, and they broke up in 1995, before they’d even made a full-length album. In their time, Frail made tangled, impassioned, politically driven straight-edge hardcore/
The band proved influential on some of the earliest screamo acts and on later-generation hardcore bands like Foundation, and Frail members later went on to play in bands like Ink & Dagger. Over the years, Frail’s music has been collected in a few reissues, including No Industry, a Numero Group collection that came out last year. Now, like so many bands with Numero Group compilations to their names, Frail are back together and playing shows.
