Frank was the girl group from Channel 4's comedy drama series "Totally Frank". Frank consisted of lead singer Lauren Blake (born 1984), guitarist Bryony Afferson (born 1983), keyboard player Helena Dowling (born 1983) and drummer Hayley Angel Wardle (born 1983). In the show "Totally Frank", the girls played fictional characters Tasha (Lauren), Charlie (Bryony), Flo (Helena) and Neve (Hayley). The band used their real names outside of the show.

The girls' debut single "I'm Not Shy" was released on July 31 2006 and reached #40 in the UK singles chart. Their debut album "Devil's Got Your Gold" was released on August 7 2006 and reached only #110 in the UK Top Charts. The album features tracks from the television show including "Money In My Pocket", "Never Left A Girl", "Silence", "Don't Wait Up", "All I Ever Do", the second series theme tune; "Turn It Up", and the first series theme tune "Complicated". New tracks included "If The Devil's Got Your Gold", "Wake Up" and "Palm Of Your Hand".

Their song, "I'm Not Shy" is featured in a comedy sketch on the show "TittyBangBang" on BBC Three.

The promo album sampler for Frank features three tracks, these being "I'm Not Shy", "Turn It Up" and "Never Left A Girl".

Frank supported fellow girl group Girls Aloud on their 2006 Chemistry Tour of England and Scotland.

Never Left A Girl was rumoured to be the second single before the band were dropped.

After the release of just one single and album, the band announced on 11 September 2006 that their record label had dropped them and that they had parted ways. Fans maintain Polydor were major contributors in their very brief music careers. Lauren was a member of the girl group, "The Paradiso Girls" but is now acting, Helena is still doing music videos and carries on dancing whilst Hayley carried on acting and Bryony did some solo gigs before turning to acting again.
