The Fray 属于另类摇滚乐队,2002年在美国丹佛市成立,由4人组成,包括:同为校友的Isaac Slade(主唱和钢琴)和Joe King(吉他,演唱)以及后加入的Dave Welsh(吉他)和Ben Wysocki(鼓手及打击乐器)。

The Fray乐队风格与英国的Coldplay和Keane相似,The Fray是新一批乐坛新兴血液中受英式乐队(诸如Coldplay和Keane)影响较深的一支,也保留了美国90年代传统摇滚Counting Crows和the Wallflowers的气质,还有点Jimmy Eat World这种EMO乐队的冲劲。但THE FRAY的特点在于乐队对钢琴的钟爱。也许就是因为钢琴,才使得他们的音乐有种特别的气质。旗帜般飘扬的主音唱腔颇具英式感,骨子里还是保守的美式作风,时不时来点情绪性的激扬调调,他们不是那种风格一脉相承的乐队,截取各家之长是他们一个显而易见的强项。

经过三年的努力,在2005年的9月终于推出了首张专辑《How to Save a Life》,而之前的单曲《Over My Head (Cable Car)》则最早出现在电影原声大碟《Stealth》之中。这张专辑给人一种相当醒目的、耳目一新的感觉,专辑中的主打歌曲《Over My Head (Cable Car)》无疑是一首值得多听几遍的歌曲,是一首让人“过耳不忘”的歌曲。而标题歌曲《How to Save a Life》来得更加的抒情,开场的钢琴绝对让人沉醉,能够立即抓住人心,歌曲也在很大程度上和《Over My Head (Cable Car)》打成平手,专辑在美国本土卖了150万张,在BILLBOARD专辑榜上更是排到了前12名的位置。

The Fray2009年2月16日发行了一张以《Heartless》为封面的专辑,乐团之前在BBC Radio 1中演奏的版本受到空前的欢迎,被许多电台频繁播放。这首歌之后还被收录到The Fray在2009年4月7号在ITunes发布的专辑《Live from SoHo》中。The Fray版本的《Heartless》成功登上美国公告牌百强单曲榜 (Billboard Hot 100)的第79名。这首歌自此以后成为The Fray现场的必演曲目,并且单单在美国的销售量就达到125,000次的付费下载。由于公众的强烈要求,2009年9月14日《Heartless》作为单曲唱片在英国发行。这首歌的豪华版本在乐队2009年11月10日发布的第二张专辑《self-titled album》中也有收录。

2012年发行录音室专辑《Heartbeat》。

2014年发行录音室专辑《Helios》。

2015年11月,乐队在加拿大安大略Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort表演。

2016年7月,乐队在美国科罗拉多州参加Divide Music Festival表演。8月13日,将在美国科罗拉多州开启Bohemian Nights演唱会。

The Fray is an American rock band from Denver, Colorado. Formed in 2002 by schoolmates Isaac Slade and Joe King, they achieved success with the release of their debut album, ‘How to Save a Life’ in 2005, which was certified double platinum by the RIAA and platinum in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. The Fray achieved national success with their first single, "Over My Head (Cable Car)", which became a top ten hit in the United States. The release of their second single, "How to Save a Life", brought the band worldwide fame. The song charted in the top three of the ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 and was a top 5 single in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

The group's self-titled, second album, released in 2009, debuted at number-one on the ‘Billboard’ charts and was certified gold in the United States, Australia and Canada. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2010. While both the albums were commercially successful, critical reception was mixed. The Fray was ranked No. 84 on Billboard's "Artists of the Decade" list. Their third album ‘Scars & Stories’, released in 2012, achieved moderate commercial success; debuting and peaking at number four on the Billboard 200. The album again received mixed reviews from critics. The band's fourth and latest album, ‘Helios’, was released in February 2014.

The Fray's use of the piano as the lead instrument in their music has led critics to compare the band with English piano-driven bands such as Coldplay and Keane. However, the band lists its influences as the Wallflowers, Counting Crows, Better Than Ezra and U2.

In November 2015,the band performed at Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.

In July 2016,the band performed at Divide Music Festival in Colorado.They will perform at Bohemian Nights on August 13,2016.
