One of my favorites... lead singer's voice similar to the lead singer of Switchfoot... but I think they are better. The single kicks ass...

Hmm... I can't figure out who he sounds like but it's cool. Thanks for the links. :)

-

i think he kind of sounds like Chris Martin, from Coldplay
they played at my college last night and were amaaazing. they're really nice guys and were very enjoyable to work with. i got to talk to the lead singer for a quick minute...it's a funny story - my friends were looking at one of their posters in the hallway and were talking about how they thought he was cute and didn't realize he was standing right behind them the entire time, and then left :-P when i told them he was behind them they were so embarassed! So when i saw him later walking around backstage, I told him they were embarassed and he was just like "yeah that was funny." haha so i talked to him for about two seconds but he was really nice. his face was beet red when my friends were talking about how hot he was, it was so cute.
anyways, i bought their cd and am in love with it. i really want to see them in schenectady but it's sold out! oh well.
-
I absolutely adore their album. I've had it on pretty much non-stop since I bought it, which was quite awhile ago. They're amazing.
-
i'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with that one. reeeally good.
-
my favorite songs on the cd are:
She Is
Cable Car
Little House
Look After You
How To Save A Life
Fall Away
Heaven Forbid
At the moment HTSAL is my favorite favorite out of those, but it tends to change everytime i listen to the cd :-P
-
Yeah I am impressed. The single made me buy the album. Good stuff
Danny
-
I just got their EP, which is also amazing. My favorite is Unsaid
-
God if I love The Fray anymore...
I'm on the verge of obsession haha.
-
Best album of 2005 :)
I'm obsessed too...can't stop listening.
-
i saw them perform live at my college when ben folds came in october..they're AMAZINGGGG.
ever since i've been completely drawn to their music, its sooo good!! and now they're vh1 artist on the rise and they're playing on my radio at home..its so awesome, and i can safely say im 100% obsessed.
they're REALLY good, everyone should check them out!!
<3mellsy
-
and i can safely say im 100% obsessed.
haha, me too dear.
-
haha ginaaaaa! i love you<3
they really just have this sound that is undescribable..like you hear the actual music and begin to crave more of that, but then you hear his voice that is completely unexpected sounding and it meshes SOO well!!
(thats not even close to the description i have in my mind, but the description i have is beyond words so i think thats as close as we're getting for now..haha)
much<3 everyone! happy new year!!!!
--mellsy
-
just thought i'd share that i'm going to see them in Toronto in February :D
-
me = jealous
:-P

-
thannnks! I'm so incredibly excited :D
-
gina you MUST try to meet them, they're the nicest guys ever! (next to our benjamin jelen of course, haha) :-)
-

-
gina you MUST try to meet them, they're the nicest guys ever! (next to our benjamin jelen of course, haha) :-)
will do :D
-
Wow! People have heard of the Fray!! Awesome. I've known them since October/November 2004, when they were just another local band in Denver. If any of you has the cd, you'll notice they thank 93.3 KTCL listeners, who got them signed.
-
I am totally addicted to the song "Over my Head (Cable Car)".
-
Vienna = the most pimpingest song in a while.
-
ahh Vienna. Suuuch an AMAZING song.
-
I saw them early in the morning on MTV, I'm addicted to The Fray right now. Over My Head is an amazing song.
-
awesome, glad you like them! They're phenomenal. I'm just waiting for the chance to see them live. Some friends of mine have seen them and said they were increddddible!
-
I've seen the twice live now... they're AMAZING. The show in the smaller venue was so much better... wish they weren't getting as popular as they are, though I guess it's a good thing.
-
over my head is so damn addictive.
:x :lol:
-
Went to get the album (finally) & they didn't have it. :?
-

I hear ya! I started liking them well before they became popular and now they're all over MTV and things. Kinda bums me out but at the same time, I'm real happy for them. They deserve it.
-
Why does that bum you guys out?
-
I'm one of those jerks who... doesn't tend to like music that they play on the radio. I don't mean it in the sense that I'm not happy for them because I surely am. They deserve it oh so much... I just like small venues and intimate shows which isn't nearly as possible once they get big. Oh well. Cheers to them!

i totally understand what you're saying. it's like when you dig a band or musician and wish other people would get into their music aswell...but then when they're international superstars it's kind of annoying that everyone likes them...like everyone is on the same bandwagon. i dont know if im explaining that right...but i know what you're saying.
-
Yeah that's kinda how I feel. I'm happy for their success but it's always more fun when not EVERYONE is into them.
-
I feel the same.
I got into them a while back and me living in Aus I thought hardly anyone would know them so I enjoyed that for a while until one day my sister had the radio on and 'over my head' came on, i was like "oh i know this song.... awwww CRAP!" when I realised it was The Fray.
But its good they are getting more air play over here :D
I brought their CD of ebay and its amazing, havnt gotten sick of it yet which is great.
Oh just looked on our chart and they entered it at number 32 :?
-
Congrats to them! I'm really really happy for them, the really do deserve the success.
I wish they could be successful just by me keeping them my little secret.... hahaha. A girl can dream. (An extremely silly dream)
-
So I got the album & I love it.
They're coming to Tulsa, but the show was sold out before I even knew about it! :cry:
-
awww! I'm still waiting to see them live. Sucks. They're like one of the only bands that I REALLY want to see that I have yet to.
-
I don't particularly care for the song "Over My Head" and when I first heard it I thought it was Switchfoot, but my friend had me listen to their song "How to Save a Life" and I <3 that one.
-
I like "Over My Head" but it's not my favorite song on the album for sure. I think there are better songs on the album... and you're right... "How To Save A Life" is better.
-
I've been in love with "Over My Head (Cable Car)" for a couple of weeks now, but I kind of assumed it would be one of those "one hit wonder" songs that I'd love for a while and then never think of again.
But...
I just listened through "How To Save A Life" (the album) for the first time. I absolutely LOVE it! There's something about piano... I guess that's why I'm a Nessa fan to begin with.
I can't get over how good this band is!
I'm not gonna say that they sounds like Vanessa, but the songs are written in the same amazing way where you can just connect to them.
xoxo Sarah
-
yep The Fray is simply amazing. Crazy how everyone is getting into them now and how big they're becoming. I've loved them for about a year or so. Their music is just... well... phenomenal. All of it.
-
Rosie and I will most likely be seeing them on the 19th of September in London! Wooooooot! :-P
-
I dig. :)

That's SO awesome! I'm so amazed that they /actually/ made it. They're from denver... the first concert I saw them at was a free CD release party a couple years ago in a tiny little record store. and now they're HUGE. amazing.
-
Yeah, it's awesome for them, I'm really happy for them. Been listening to them for over a year now... and it's awesome to see them get so much recognition but - radio really does play their songs WAAAAAAAY too much.
-
I guess I really wouldn't know, I don't listen to the radio now that I've got my IPOD!!! helll yea! sorry, but I just got my ipod a couple of months ago... I don't know how I've gone without it. The radio, as our favorite, Hilary Duff, would say, is "so yesterday."
I hate commas.

Commas are necessary, though. :wink:
I hardly ever listen to the radio & yet every time I have it on I am bombarded by The Fray!

Actually every time I listen to the radio I am bombarded with Pink's "U and ur hand" :?

i dont really know how far your comfortable with learning from vids but there are a few(two...i think) videos on youtube (around 8 minutes long) teaching you how to play that song...
-
Thanks!
-
I'm so bummed that I couldn't go to their show in Toronto on Saturday. But it was parents weekend and my family came up. Bummer.
-
sooo I finally got to see them live tonight, after waiting almost 2 years. They were absolutely amazing! I was extremely impressed with their live performance. Not to mention they jokingly did a cover of "Dance Like This" by Shakira and it was absolutely hilarious. Mae opened for them and I loved them as well (of course, they're my favorite band), though it was my... 5th time seeing them live. They played some new songs so that was cool. The Fray did as well. Great show. Ok Go also played, don't really care for them too much.

i saw them last night too.. and yeah, i loved when they did "hips don't lie," that was probably my favorite part of their performance. the drummer ben was so funny. i still can't really believe they're headlining though.. i remember being really excited about them being the free download of the week like a year ago on itunes. haha. but my favorite part of the night was meeting mae for the first time.. they're so nice. i wish they could have played longer though.. i really thought ok go should have played before them. but anyway, the fray was fantastic, i'd definitely go see another one of their shows this summer.
-
I'm so happy you love mae! They're amaaazing guys! And honestly, I've seen them play much better than they did, but I think it was the fact that they were just an opener. If you haven't seen them in a smaller venue before, you really should sometime! Loooove them! Can't wait for their new album to come out!

What the hell Gina! Jessie and I were there too, we were in the pit up front. I wish we knew you were going too!!! It was an awesome show, though. I really liked Mae, and even though I didn't think I'd like OK Go I thought they were entertaining.
-
you're oh so lucky, we just got lawn seats because well... we're poor and we'd already seen mae a million times. I wish I was up there, but it was still amaaaazing. Wish I could have seen you guys! Jess put up some awesome pics... and I realized... hey that's what was going on up there hahaha.

what was going on up there??
-
I just mean, I couldn't see at all from the lawn seats so when I saw the pictures I could actually see what was happening on the stage.

You actually probably saw more than Jess or I did, even though we were at the foot of the stage. the stage was very high up and the wall was the same height as Jessica, and when the crew set up for The Fray they were so spread out we could barely see anything until Hips Don't Lie when they had to be a foot away from us for us to get a descent look. The speaker Ben stood up on at the end was right in front of us and blocked our view of the piano completely. Jess did her thing though and shoved her camera in front of people and took pictures anyway. That's why we heart her!

I feel as though because I am 4' 10", it is my right to push people more fortunate than I out of my way so that I can too can get photographic evidence of my life experiences. And if it happens to be snotty little brats that I push at a Fray concert, then so be it.
ps, his name isn't Ben it's Isaac :-P
-
hahaha I love you Jess. I got some really blurry pictures because I was using my 10x optical zoom which really didn't work so well haha.
-
I just got back from seeing them in London and they were amazing! I took some video of How to Save a Life and Little House which was really good quality except for random silent bits, which really sucks :( They played a couple of new songs that were good :)
They were supported by an artist called Terra Naomi who sang and played guitar/piano with a band. She was ok, I was a bit bored, but I'm not great with new stuff. The mic was too loud and she never pulled back on the strong notes, which was a bit :/ I think I will check out some recorded stuff.
-
Ah, The Fray.
It's nice to see there are a handful of Nessa fans that are also The Fray fans. I enjoyed reading about how you guys followed them from the beginning, and a few of you mentioned seeing them back when they were just making it big in Denver. I think you guys are very fortunate to have been able to see them rise to fame like that!!! I wish I could have had the opportunity to see them perform in a small venue, which is something they would probably not do too often or at all today.
Anyway, their third album should be coming out in the next few months, so I thought I would come and try to revive this The Fray thread. I can't wait until they start touring again too. I hope I like their new material.
