The Fray

The Fray, a rock band formed in Denver, Colorado in 2002, has earned a reputation for their pop rock, alternative rock, and soft rock styles. Their successful debut album, "How to Save a Life," which includes hits like "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and "How to Save a Life," achieved quadruple platinum certification by the RIAA. The album also brought them a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Their subsequent self-titled second album debuted atop the Billboard 200 and received platinum certification by the RIAA. The band's song "You Found Me" from this album reached the top ten singles chart, enhancing their profile in the music industry.

Over the years, The Fray has consistently delivered successful albums and chart-topping singles. Their third studio album, "Scars & Stories," and fourth, "Helios," continued to solidify their position in the industry. Throughout their career, the band has been compared to British bands like Coldplay and Keane, primarily due to their use of piano as the lead instrument. They have listed Counting Crows, Better Than Ezra, and U2 as their influences. The band took a hiatus after 2019 and returned with the single "Time Well Wasted" on July 25, 2024, from their EP "The Fray Is Back." The band has been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and won several Billboard Music Awards.
