Through the Years: The Best of The Fray

Remember when I told you about The Fray going on tour this fall? 

Well, that's not the only great thing happening this fall! 

The Fray has released a new album, Through the Years: The Best of The Fray. This album containts the best hits they've released ever since they started, but that's not everything. Also, the album has three brand new songs: Singing Low, Corners and Changing Tides. 

These new tracks offer a style similar to the one we could find in Helios, however, I kind of feel that it's also similar to Scars & Stories' one. What do you think? 

If you've bought tickets for the tour this fall, you'll receive a free download copy of the CD! Also, you can purchase it on iTunes, Amazon (where you'll get two live bonus tracks), and you can stream it on Spotify!

Tour this fall!

September is here... that's something that doesn't amaze many of us. 

However, the farther we're from Summer... the shorter we're from October, which means fall! And our guys are doing an U.S. tour this fall. 

The Fray is touring with an especial guest - American Authors. They'll be touring all over the States, from the 15th October, until the 26th November. If you live in the U.S., go check out if they're going to a city near you (or maybe even to your own city) in their website, where you can get your tickets as well: http://thefray.com/

Thank you guys!

A few days ago, this blog reached 20,000 reads.

When you create something and you see it progress, moments like this one become awesome and weird at the same time. Why is that?

Well, when I created it and reached 1K reads, I thought that it was pretty rad and felt self-proud. Just as it happened when it reached 5K, 10K, and finally, 20K. For this reason, it doesn't seem like a big thing even to me, until I think about it with perspective of time. When I do, all I think is: wow.

About one year ago at this time, this blog had about 10K reads, which means that the reads here are now two times than they were back then - that little thought draws a huge smile on my face.

For this reason, even though I don't know you, all I know about you guys is where you're from (since I get to see where the reads come from) and that's it, I wanted to give you a big thank you. Because it's thanks to you that this is possible - although for you it might seem like nothing, to me it's a damn lot.

Without further delay, let's put aside the deepness and thoughtful stuff (not really anyway). This blog is about The Fray, isn't it? Well, let's talk about something related to our four guys!

Since I wanted to make this post kind of special and do something quite different, I started to think what I could talk about, and something came to mind. I realized I've never shared with you the times I've been noticed by The Fray in social media (yeah, I've never seen them live *cries*).

(I've deleted the name of the accounts because I wanted to keep my privacy and I don't use those accounts anymore so I don't want to share them here - but it's not fake)

Once when Joe King replied to my tweet (long time ago):

(If you know what this is from, I adore you)

This is from the first live chat they did on Facebook, I got so happy I got to replies, you should have seen my face of happiness ;)

 

They didn't reply to my post sharing this video, but they did to other girl's post. So, they saw a fan video we did a group of fans of The Fray - which was the best thing about all, they saw our video *-*

Honestly, looking at these captions, which are from 2013, makes me so emotional. It's been ages and these memories are really nice ones. By the way, have you ever been noticed by them? If so, share it here in the comments or in my twitter account (@bandskeepalive), go!

The Fray playing the Festival of Families!

Hello my fellow readers!

Only a few days ago, The Fray played at The World Meeting of Families festival, which was attended by Pope Francis, last Saturday.

This event is an international celebration of family, community and faith, which this year has featured international artists such as Mark Wahlberg, Matt Maher, Andrea Bocelli, Juanes, and so on!

Nevertheless, this isn't the only thing The Fray has been up lately. They've announced they're working on their fifth full-length album, saying that they've finished a week in the studio - "super early stages of lp5", which is definitely a good new! We can do nothing but wait, I hope we can listn to some new stuff soon :)

The Fray's tour is over :(

Hello there everyone!

The Fray's summer tour has already came to an end. After an amazing tour over the United States, they're back home and I'm going to post some photos from the tour for you!

By the way, if you've had the chance of going, you can share your photos, experiences or anything like that. I'm sure that a fray concert can't be anything but awesome - and if you share your experience with me I can post it here or whatever you want!

Helios Tour

Hey! I wanted to let you know some news about The Fray that you would like to know. Their tour dates are out now, so some of you might have your tickets already if they’re coming to your city or near, or maybe they aren’t coming near you.

I’m not going, because they haven’t announced any date in my country (Spain though). I hope they do anytime soon, because I really want to see them live. They say there’ll be more dates, so I haven’t lost hope yet :) What about you guys? Are you going to Helios Tour? If you, which dates? Let me know! 

Here you can see the dates for their American, and European & South African tour: 

The Waiting Is Over

The waiting is finally over! Today, Helios has been officially released. The Fray has also uploaded the audio of some of the songs (if not all), so you can listen to them via YouTube. What do you think?

For me, the best song in the album is Keep On Wanting, so I’m going to post the audio of it here:

Also I think you’d like to know that Helios is out worldwide, but except Europe, where is out March 3^rd. I hope you like it and have a nice day :)

2 days to Helios

You know which day today is, right? It’s 23th of February. I know it is a normal day, but it isn’t if we count the fact that in 2 days Helios will be officially released! Our waiting will be over in two days. Have you listened to the album yet? The Fray posted on Facebook a link where you can. So, I’m going to post it so, if you haven’t already, you can listen to it and enjoy it. In my opinion, it is very different than anything they have done before, but it is still amazing. It first didn’t get me much, but it has grown on me so fast and now I love it. What about you people?

Here you can listen to the album: http://www.deezer.com/album/7440233
