PIANO-DRIVEN POP-ROCK BAND, THE FRAY, TO BANG IT OUT AT SILVER LEGACY

The Fray earned their success the old school way, by getting out there and winning followers one gig at a time. Add to that a grassroots listener-driven campaign to get them a recording contract with Epic Records in 2004 and fame followed close behind.

Their first single, in 2005, from, How To Save A Life, “Over My Head (Cable Car)” climbed into the top 10 on the Billboard singles chart, has been certified double platinum and was streamed more than a million times on MySpace in just one month.  MySpace has been good to the band: they’ve been streamed over sixteen million times, have more than five million views and have close to 300,000 friends on the network site translating into a group whose songs stand on their own, no clever marketing or catering to genre tastes. From the same album’s title track, “How To Save A Life,” has proven to be one of the bands greatest hits. 

The band recorded their self-titled second album in 2009 with the single “You Found Me,” peaking at #7 on the Top 100 list and the single, “Be the One,” a song written in the space of twenty four hours. The Fray’s third album, Scars and Stories, is set to be released in 2012. It turns out that The Fray’s music resonates with lots of people; they are one of the most licensed bands with their music being featured on shows like Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy, What About Brian, NCIS, One Tree Hill and Bones.
