Framing Hanley | Rock 30 Guest Co-Host | June 6-7, 2026

Framing Hanley returns to the LA Lloyd Rock 30 as Nixon co-hosts the countdown for the fourth time. It has been eleven years since his last appearance, and this conversation picks up with a band that is not trying to recreate the past. Nixon talks about stepping away from music, rediscovering the reason he loved writing in the first place, and why this new era of Framing Hanley feels like the most honest version of the band yet.

The Reckoning

The band’s new single, “The Reckoning,” leads the way into a heavier, sharper chapter. Nixon says the song reminds people Framing Hanley is still very much a rock band, but with the sound of who they are in 2026. He also opens up about Nashville, Jason Isbell’s influence, the frustration of social media throttling, working with Richie Wicander of Fire From The Gods, and why the upcoming album may be the strongest music Framing Hanley has ever made.

POOR lil ME

One of the strongest moments comes when Nixon talks about where the band stands today, saying, “There’s not a thing your favorite band’s doing that we can’t do, baby.” That line captures the whole tone of this interview: confident, grateful, and fired up. Framing Hanley is not just celebrating longevity. They are pushing forward with new music, a renewed purpose, and a full album that Nixon says was built to be heard from start to finish.
