How To Save A Life - The Fray

The Fray are a four-piece American Indie Rock band from Denver, Colorado. They formed in 2002, released this album in 2005 and have another due out at some stage in 2008. The piano is a heavy focus of their music, at the very forefront of their sound and something that they use very much to their advantage. It is the piano in the music of The Fray that drives the music forward and makes the band stand out from the crowd. The bands most commercially successful single so far has been the albums title track 'How To Save a Life', a track that sold well all around the world and is definitely my favourite from their 'How To Save a Life' album.

I first heard of the fray about 6 months ago when I heard their song 'how to save a life' on BBC radio 1 one day. It was one of those occasions where you hear a song and fall in love with it straight away, unfortunately it was also one of those occasions where you hear a song but miss the title and band name so I spent about an hour on the internet afterwards trying to find out what it was.

The album is quite possibly one of the best albums I own and would describe them as a ...  Read the complete review

My housemate returned back to University after the Christmas holiday absolutely raving about this song she’d heard on her drive back down on Radio 1. Now she normally has quite good taste in music, apart from the odd bizarre addition to her collection of course which also features Aqua’s Barbie Girl album. After listening to some of the album on her ipod I decided I had to have it after falling in love with the first three tracks I heard. Before this I’d never heard of The Fray who are a four piece American band from Denver. They formed back in 2002 and found quite large success in Denver over their first couple of years. The first single they released in ...  Read the complete review
