Nov. #ArtistFave15 is Frente!; formed in 1989 and hitting peak popularity in the early 90s, the band’s core membership of singer, Angie Hart, & guitarist, Simon Austin play on; the songwriting powerhouse duo behind the band. More experimental than their biggest quirky pop hits, Frente! are a joy!

5. Bizarre Love Triangle (1994) (Lonely EP)

Rare for a cover version to have such global impact (#4 Aus/#49 US/76 UK/54 Canada), Frente’s acoustic rendition captured something unique in the band and song which still resonates strongly.

6. Labour of Love (1991) (Whirled Ep)
The beginnings of the Frente journey in this electric-quasi-acoustic haunting tale of difficult love and “the prison of circumstance” which the band returned to in later reunion recordings.

Day 9 - From a Million Miles - Single Gun Theory

Loved this mellow alternative dance track; channelling world music, alternative pop and some dimension of Laurie Anderson in a joyous combo.

7. What’s Come Over
Me (1996) (Album~ Shape)
Frente does new wave 80s elements fused with 90s psychedelic grunge breakouts in this winning combo of styles.
