LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Epic Records) -
The Fray return February 2, 2009 with their hotly anticipated follow-up to the platinum-selling, top five debut 'How to Save a Life'.
The band preview their new self-titled album with a special sold-out show at the Borderline December 4th, 2008, with further UK dates to follow in the New Year.
Contagious first single 'You Found Me' is released in the UK January 26th, 2009.
The Fray - Isaac Slade (vocals, piano), Joe King (guitar, vocals), Ben Wysocki (drums) and Dave Welsh (guitar) - took the UK by storm in 2007 with hit single 'How To Save A Life', which sold nearly half a million copies and reached number 4 in the UK charts. 'Over My Head (Cable Car)' also proved to be a hit, reaching the UK top 20.
The Denver-based quartet enjoyed worldwide success with their Grammy nominated debut album 'How To Save A Life' which sold over 3.2 million copies worldwide including half a million in the UK alone.
'The Fray' reunites the band with Mike Flynn and Aaron Johnson, the same producers who took them to the top of the US charts in 2007. Musically, it's a huge step forward: Isaac's distinctive vocals have never sounded better, perfectly complimenting the piano-based melodies and personal songwriting that characterise the album.
'You Found Me' receives its world premiere on US television November 20th as part of a music video featuring live band footage and exclusive scenes from the upcoming fifth season of 'Lost'.
On Sunday, November 23, 2008 they will perform the song for the first time on the American Music Awards.
