Picture Frame Seduction

Picture Frame Seduction

Picture Frame Seduction (PFS) is a hardcore punk band from Haverfordwest, Wales. The band's influences included their peers of the day, Charged GBH and Discharge. With many other bands of the time like The Varukers, they helped develop the hardcore punk scene in the United Kingdom in the early to mid 1980s,[citation needed] and signed with the Mansfield punk rock label Rot Records. After a number of UK tours and releasing various singles, albums and compilations on various UK punk rock labels, the band split in 1987.

They caused controversy in 1987 by releasing "Try" ("With a Little Help from My Friends" by The Beatles) as a charity record. Michael Jackson owned the rights to the piece, and his representatives refused permission for the release of the PFS version. The release led to Daily Star and Today newspaper headlines in the UK.

Guitarist Mark Bozier died in 1990 at the age of 26, and the band reformed in 2003, releasing further material in CD and vinyl formats. Since then, the band has played at big punk festivals such as Rebellion Festival and Punk n' Disorderly in Berlin and Vienna, and at Rebellion UK shows. PFS recruited a new guitarist in early 2008. Ashley Shannon stayed with the band for 18 months playing shows across Europe. Robin Folland re-joined the band in November 2009, and Ashley departed - for a short while at least, with an open invitation to return. In 2010 the band will appear at the Rebellion festivals in England and Italy. Arrangements are in hand for the band to play in the USA in the summer of 2010. Several new and retro vinyl and CD releases will appear in the USA throughout 2010 on several labels.
