Starframes formed in Naples (Italy).
In June 2009, their debut album “Street Politics” was released on the independent English label Mile High Music Records. 
Jon Astley (who had worked for artists such as The Who, Eric Clapton and George Harrison) worked on mastering sessions.
The album was a combination between modern indie music and classical British rock.
The band played the first three promotional gigs in London, and then came back to Italy and kept on playing during the following months.
In April 2010, Starframes released "Acoustic live sessions vol.1" for free streaming and started to promote their acoustic set during their gigs.
During the same period, they came back to studio for their second album "Ethereal underground", which was released in January 2011 on Italian independent label BulbArtWorks.
The album was deeply rooted in neo-psychedelic atmospheres.
“Ethereal Undergound” obtained a good feedback from audience and magazines and gave the band the chance of facing a long tour that ended in London in August 2012.
After that, Starframes spent two silent years and in late summer 2014, they released the self-produced EP “Unwired”.
After that, the band started to work on their third album “Nicht Vergessen”, which took almost three years to be completed.
It is a concept album consisting of 15 tracks going through a novel written by their singer Raphael Bramont.
The story is loosely based on Anna Funder’s book “Stasiland”.
It takes place in Berlin from the 1940s up to contemporary days and gives a wide view on modern society by following the dramatic life events of main character Friederich Braun.
From April 2018 to September 2018 the band released three singles taken from the album: “1961”, “Berlin is in love” and “Rising wall”.
“Nicht Vergessen” was released on 26th of November 2018 and edited by Bulbart/Kappa/TBMR.
