History

Guitarist Cory Fischer invited vocalist Luke Pate to join his

metal band a week before they were set to record their debut EP after their previous vocalist quit. This metal band would eventually evolve into the screamo/

band Frameworks in 2011. Recalling joining the metal band and starting his career as a screaming vocalist, Pate said: "I didn't have the slightest clue about what to do or how to do it, but I said yes for some reason ..I just kind of fell into it, and that's how it started." Early EPs from Frameworks include the self-released ''Every Day Is the Same'' (2011) and ''Small Victories'' (2013) released through 13th Floor Records. These early releases caught the attention of the indie label

, who announced they signed Frameworks in November 2013. On signing to and working with Topshelf, Pate said: "I'd say it's been the best case scenario. I've always really respected those guys and the bands they work with. We've meshed really well." Through the label, the band released its debut studio album ''Loom'' on April 29, 2014, which was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. ''Loom'' was produced by Jack Shirley (
