Founded in 1990 the group (named in honour of two eccentric Cork characters) are Paul Linehan (vocalist/bassist), his brother Niall Linehan (guitar) (replaced by Kevin Pedreschi in 2004) and Ashley Keating (drums).
Signing to the Setanta label in 1991, the group debuted with album EP1, and the lead track "Fashion Crisis Hits New York" became an indie hit. The follow-up album EP.2 was quickly forthcoming.
Shortly after signing to the Go! Discs label, The Franks partnered with producer Edwyn Collins to record the Happy Busman EP. Success in the UK was not far away, and following a tour in support of Carter USM, an Ian Broudie remix of the LP track After All reached the top twenty in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 11.
After a long sabbatical, the group returned with Grand Parade (with contributions from Gus Dudgeon), and the Indian Ocean EP in 1997. This was followed with Beauty Becomes More Than Life in 1998 and Glass in 2000. Setanta released a well received "Best of" in 2002.
In 2004 Niall Linehan left the band and was replaced by a friend of the band, Kevin Pedreschi. The band signed a new deal with FIFA Records in Ireland, and released a B-sides triple album, Souvenirs, in October 2005.
The band released a new album, Renewed Interest In Happiness, on October 27th 2006 possibly their most complete work to date.

The Frank and Walters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
A kiss should be such bliss
But you don't want to but you don't want to
My lips are just the place to place your lips upon
Go on
Aw see'mon, aw see'mon, aw see'mon
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
A hug could be oh so snug
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
You'll gonna change your mind some day
But I'll be gone, gone, gone
Aw see'mon, aw see'mon, aw see'mon
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
But you don't want to, but you don't want to
You'll gonna change your mind some day
But I'll be gone, gone, gone
Aw see'mon, aw see'mon, aw see'mon
The Frank and Walter's song "C'mon" is a playful track about wanting to kiss and hug someone who isn't reciprocating the same desire. The song has an energetic, upbeat melody with lyrics that express longing and the hope for a change of heart. The vocalist sings, "I want to kiss, kiss, kiss, but you don't want to," and repeats "aw see'mon" as if pleading with the person to give in to their desires. The lyrics suggest that a kiss and a hug should be a source of happiness and comfort, but the other person is not interested, and it's unclear why.
The song captures the feeling of unrequited love and the frustration that comes with not being able to express your affection. The lyrics, "You'll gonna change your mind some day, but I'll be gone, gone, gone," suggest that the person singing knows that they cannot wait forever for the other person to come around. The song is ultimately about taking a chance and not being afraid to express your feelings, regardless of whether the other person feels the same way.
Overall, "C'mon" is an enjoyable, upbeat track with relatable lyrics that speak to the experience of wanting something you can't have. The song encourages listeners to take risks and not be deterred by rejection, as there's always a chance that your love interest might change their mind.
