History

The band was initially founded by Clement and Dick Brain. Clement started his career as a hip-hop Dominatrix, but soon wanted to have a live band to work with and to dabble in the rock scene. Dion, who Clement met through a mutual friend, introduced Clement to Rich, Dan, Stacey, and Jonny. Previously, Clement had found vocalist Kojo on Myspace and wanted to work with him too, leading to the formation of The Frontline. Although he has been shown to rap, Dion became the band's drummer.

The group have worked with producer Iain James, known for working with Professor Green and Wretch 32. They have supported the likes of Plan B, Rizzle Kicks, and De La Soul. The group were named a nominee on MTV's Brand New for 2012, and were tipped as T4's Rising Stars of 2012.

Their song "Champion" was used as one of the unofficial songs to support the London 2012 Olympics. It was also used as the official theme song of the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view in 2013, specifically in the buildup for the main event match between CM Punk and The Rock, and on the soundtrack of the video game F1 2011. Their song was featured on the soundtrack of the video game by EA Sports, FIFA 13 with "Us Against the World".

The group has collaborated with artists such as Ghetts on "Overtime", Kano on "Mayhem", and Sway on "It's My Time". After announcing a series of solo shows throughout May and June, it has been mentioned that Clement is taking a break from The Frontline.
