When The Fray first burst onto the scene in the early aughts, the Colorado-bred band introduced the world to a profoundly life-affirming form of alt-rock:timeless but inventive, arena-size in scope but firmly rooted in raw emotion. Over the coming decades, their soul-searching songwriting and high-powered round led to earning four Grammy Award nominations, scoring a multitude of Billboard top 10 hits, and amassing passionately devoted worldwide fanbase.On their first new body of work in ten years, vocalist/guitarist and primary songwriter Joe King, guitarist Dave Welsh, and drummer Ben Wysocki continue the band’s formidable legacy following the 2022 departure of former frontman Isaac Slade—all while uncovering entirely new dimensions of their artistry. Named for a joyful declaration shouted out by a fan at a recent live show, The Fray Is Back finds King stepping into the role of lead singer and joiningWelsh and Wysocki in launching a bold new chapter for the globally beloved band.
