Meg & Dia (also then known as The Meg & Dia Band) released their debut album, Our Home is Gone, in 2005. At the time, the band consisted of just the two Frampton sisters, and the album's tracks were mostly acoustic songs. Meg played guitar and provided back-up vocals while Dia sang. A year later, they released their second album, Something Real which featured their most well known song "Monster", their first album released under Doghouse Records.
The band signed with Warner Bros. Records in 2007 and released Here, Here and Here in 2009 via Sire Records. Before disbanding, they were signed under the name Dia Frampton to Universal Republic.
