This Pop-Rock Alternative-Rock band was formed in the spring of 2002
by Joe King and Isaac Slade, schoolmates who grew up together in Denver,
Colorado USA and even sang in the same school choir; several years after
graduation and following stints in various local bands, the two decided
to start The Fray, with Slade on piano and King on guitar, they share
lead vocal and songwriting duties; over a period of about a year the band
progressed from a basement project to adding its current second guitarist
David Welsh and then Benjamin Wysocki on drums.
2003 saw the release of the band's debut disc, the 7-track "Reason"
EP.
In September 2005 the quartet released their first full-length album,
"How To Save A Life", which peaked at #14 on The Billboard 200
chart and spawned two massive smash hits: "Over My Head (Cable Car)"
climbed into the top 10 of The Billboard Hot 100 and the follow-up single,
"How To Save A Life", rose to the #3 slot.
