Energy Orchard

The constant comparisons with U2 didn't help either, even though musically the bands were not especially similar. The band was dropped in 1996 and subsequently disbanded, though Bap went on to have some success with a solo career. Currently he is recording an instrumental album which will feature special guests such as members of Pearl Jam. Unfortunately the record company gave the band very lacklustre support and despite extensive touring, the breakthrough to mainstream success eluded them. He was active in the 2004 presidential campaign of John Kerry. Subsequent albums compensated for this, the 1992 release Stop the Machine, 1993's Shinola, Painkiller (1995) and a 1996 live album. After the attack of the World Trade Center in New York, Frampton decided to become a United States citizen. The first album, Energy Orchard, was released to critical appreciation, but with some reservations about it being overproduced (producer was Mick Glossop), somewhat diluting the band's raw live sound. His latest album is Now, and he embarked on a tour with Styx to support that album.

The first single, Belfast, was released in 1990 on MCA records, followed up with Sailortown. In the 1980s, Frampton returned to recording, though he has never been able to top the charts since. The band were:. Upon his recovery, Frampton played a part in the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band film, which failed spectacularly. Fronted by Bap Kennedy, their style drew heavily on the influence of Van Morrison and other classic RnB, but incorporated traditional elements of Irish folk music to create a unique sound. After his follow-up, I'm in You, was released, Frampton was involved in a serious car crash in the Bahamas. Energy Orchard were a Irish guitar-based rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s, from Belfast. Frampton's solo breakthrough was the six-times platinum Frampton Comes Alive (1976), which included "Do You Feel Like We Do", "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Show Me the Way".
