How To Save A Life

The Fray

Epic

WE SAY

Colorado four-piece The Fray look set to repeat their all-conquering US chart and radio success over here. Their engaging AOR sound follows the mellow alt-rock lineage of Counting Crows to Dave Matthews with a good measure of Keane thrown in. Their debut album on Epic went double platinum in the US (it is the best-selling digital album since Soundscan records began), as well as reaching gold in Australia and Canada. This single and "Over My Head (Cable Car)" both sold over 1 million digital singles in the US. Perhaps an indication of how big this record will be, it was added to the Radio 1 playlist 11 Weeks upfront. The Fray will support The Feeling on a nationwide tour next month.
