It was this family disruption which led Hart to the Punters Club, a live music venue on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's eclectic and bohemian inner suburbs. She frequented the venue to play pool and drink, though she was still under the legal drinking age. It often fell to bartender Simon Austin to eject her from the premises. Hart's older sister was also bartending at the Punters Club in 1989 and when Austin, a guitarist and songwriter, mentioned he was starting a band and looking for a singer, Becky Hart suggested her little sister Angie. Austin and Hart began writing songs together almost immediately, and with the already-recruited bass player Tim O'Connor and drummer Mark Picton, Frente was born.

Frente! Austin and Hart embarked on a romance, the subsequent disintegration of which caused considerable tension within the band, especially as the end of their relationship came just as Frente was achieving success. The band's 1991 self-funded EP, "Whirled", spawned this success with the song "Labour of Love". The song achieved national airplay on Australia's youth radio station Triple J and ranked highly in the Hottest 100 for 1991, a listener's poll. This led Frente being signed to Mushroom Records' White label. With great pressure on Austin and Hart to produce a hit, the tension led to an argument between the pair, which in turn resulted in the song "Ordinary Angels". This was the first track on their May 1992 EP "Clunk" and it launched them into mainstream success in the Australian music scene, with the song reaching number 3 in the ARIA Charts.

With the success of "Ordinary Angels", Frente was given the opportunity to make their debut album and Prince's producer Michael Koppelman was drafted in for the project. The resulting "Marvin the Album" was released on 23 November 1992, with the single "Accidentally Kelly Street" quickly rising to number 3 in the ARIA Charts where it remained for much of the Australian summer. An environment of saturation media, with the song being aired very frequently on television and radio in Australia, led to Frente experiencing a public backlash similar to that experienced by Jodi Phillis's band Clouds.

Frente achieved unexpected US chart success with Austin's pared-down cover version of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle". Originally intended as a B-side, the overwhelming interest in the song led to it being the first single from the 1994 US release of "Marvin The Album".

After three years of touring, Frente were led back to the studio in 1995 by Mushroom to produce their second album. The extended touring had largely extinguished Hart and Austin's desire for songwriting, and they arrived in Spain with only a handful of songs for producer Cameron McVey, husband of Hart's idol, the iconic Swedish pop singer Neneh Cherry. At the time, Hart stated that being on tour constantly had left them with no lives to write about. This is evidenced in Hart's lyrics of the 1994 songs "Lonely" and "Explode". McVey immediately broke up the Hart/Austin songwriting partnership, leaving Austin in the studio while he worked with Hart to write a number of the songs featured on the final product, "Shape", which was released in July 1996. Cameron McVey is a British music producer, best known for his work with Neneh Cherry, Massive Attack, Portishead, All Saints, and more recently CirKus, Virgin Souls and Siobhan Donaghy. ...

Splendid From 1998 to 2004, Hart performed as part of the pop duo Splendid with her then-husband, Jesse Tobias, whom she met August 1996 when Frente was supporting Alanis Morissette in Canada. Tobias was Morrissette's touring guitarist. Hart and Tobias married on 22 March 1997 in Austin, Texas and settled in Los Angeles where Hart collaborated with local musicians and made jewellery while Tobias took various jobs as a touring guitarist for Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch among others as well as music direction and production work. As Splendid, the couple released their debut album, "Have You Got A Name For It", on 11 October 1999 in Australia. Due to the collapse of their US record company, Mammoth Records, immediately prior to the album's US release date, "Have You Got A Name For It" was never released outside of Australia. Hart and Tobias separated in September 2004 and have since divorced. Splendid's second album was largely completed prior to Hart and Tobias separating, and a 2006 release is expected. In December 2004 they released a six-track EP, "States Of Awake", in Australia and through several independent distributors worldwide.
