Picture Frame Seduction

Picture Frame Seduction (PFS) is a hardcore punk band originally from Haverfordwest, Wales, but now jointly based in Cadiz and Malaga in Spain and London and Bristol in the UK. In their formative years in Wales the band was considered too aggressive in their musical style and attitude to book and were continually ignored by established Welsh venues. The band's influences included their peers of the day, Charged GBH and Discharge. With many other bands of the time, such as The Varukers and Chaos UK, they helped develop the hardcore punk scene in the United Kingdom in the early to mid-1980s, recording from 1979 to 1987 on numerous labels.

PFS disbanded in 1987 but reformed in 1999 after being featured on several punk compilation albums in the intervening years.[1]
