Here's a further hint. There are actually two bands that became famous as a result of The Commitments. One of the bands was a big hit in both The UK and Australia.

I don't know if anyone outside Canada ever saw this movie, but it was brilliant.
The band Billy Talent took it's name from one of the characters in this film. (the guy on the right, Kallum Keith Rennie. His character's name was Billy Tallent, lead guitarist)
I saw that movie, and it was indeed good.

I can't tell if Tenacious D is a real band or not.

Another one — Global Heresy. The trailer is the only thing i've found on the web. Love that movie.

Did this second band contain the young guy who was the lead singer in the film?

Hi Greg,
No but you are warmer. The lead guitarist of the band in question was in the film and so was the violinist, albeit briefly.

Thanks for racking your brain Greg, They are called "The Frames"
For some reason i thought the question was what two bands did the commitments come from!Doh I suppose i should read more carefully.
