the fray

Congratulations to 'The Vampire Diaries' star Candice Accola and The Fray's Joe King, who tied the knot together yesterday, Oct. 18.

The Fray visited PopCrush to discuss their new album 'Helios,' the single 'Love Don't Die,' the advice that Adam Duritz gave lead singer Isaac Slade and more at their Off the Record session.

The Fray recently sat down with us for PopCrush’s Off the Record series, performing a set comprised of several new songs from their most recent album ‘Helios’ and one very personal Ben Folds cover.

When The Fray performed their hit 'Heartbeat' exclusively for PopCrush's 'Off the Record' video series, the band delivered an emotional performance, taking advantage of the intimate, stripped-down setting to riff on the tune and slightly change up the pacing of the song -- one of the marks of a true live performer. But the band also took the time to explain the meaning behind the song, and its origin may surprise you.

The Fray frontman Isaac Slade has a way of pouring emotion into every song he sings, and the band's acoustic performance of their new single 'Break Your Plans' at the PopCrush studio was no exception.

The Fray joined PopCrush in New York to perform ‘Love Don’t Die,’ the first single off of the band's fourth studio album, ‘Helios.’ The pop-rock group hasn’t lost their touch since their 2005 highly-acclaimed ‘How to Save a Life’ debut, and this exclusive performance proves it.

Kelly Clarkson recently wrapped her Stronger tour and is now co-headlining a summer tour with The Fray. Carolina Liar will reportedly be the special guest. The tour will begin in July in Washington and end in Nashville in September. If you would like to catch the show in nearby NY, you'll have to travel to Canandaigua or Bethel.

The Fray are catching some heat for their rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' before the NCAA championship game.  Their stripped down acoustic version received a polite applause but was being attacked on the Twitter-sphere last night.  Give it a listen and you decide.  Slam dunk or foul?
