Fans of The Frames: where's a good starting point?

So the wife and I just watched "Once." While I've heard of The Frames, I didn't realize that their lead guy and the lead "Guy" in "Once" were one and the same until I watched the bonus features on the DVD. Can any fans out there recommend a good starting place to investigate their music? Thanks.

1. Great movie. I've been playing catch-up too.

Their last CD, The Cost contains their versions of many of the songs from "Once", so that's where I started.

2. The Frames are quite a bit more "rock" than the songs in the film.

I recommend "The Swell Season" by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. It has a lot of the songs from the movie in it.

I recommend Cost as well.

3. Oh, I fully expected them to bring the rock.

:) I've just discovered that NPR's "All Songs Considered" podcast has concerts by both The Frames and The Swell Season, so I'm getting those. (As well as the Nickel Creek and Polyphonic Spree shows.)
