Biography

From Winnipeg, Manitoba, Torn & Frayed – named after the Stones song – were a solid club act who released their own independent three song single in 1980. A debut album, ‘First Legg’, was recorded at Roades Studio after this and they were soon able to license the album to Boot Records and the album was renamed ‘Not Frayed of Nothin’.
