Stanley Frank

Born and raised in Montreal, Stanley Frank joined his first band at the age of 14, and already had several years of guitar lessons at that point while soaking in the different sounds on the radio. He built up his experience while playing at dances and small parties around the city for the next few years in a couple of other bands, writing his own first songs during this period. After graduating from high school and trying to make it as a song writer, he moved to Toronto and took a bunch of songs he'd recorded in his basement to Attic Records. In 1976 he managed to get a couple of his songs "S'cool Days" b/w "On A Line" released as a single, to little fanfare. He joined the British fusion/punk rock band The Saints during his period moved to England. With his return in Canada, he sighed with Polydor for one ep that not gain any real support and finally in 1980 he released his debut album “Play it Till it Hurts” produced by Robin Geoffrey Cable (Queen, Elton John, Chris de Burgh,etc).
