Title: Scars and Stories | Release Date: Feb. 7

 

Recorded at Nashville's legendary Blackbird studio with producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Spring­steen, Pearl Jam), "Scars and Stories" looks set to build on the runaway success of the Fray's ( @thefray) self-titled sophomore set, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2009. The project's lead single, "Heartbeat," has been a fixture on the Billboard Hot 100 since its release last October, while album cuts "The Fighter" and "Run for Your Life" deliver a similarly rousing mix of emotive melodic rock, perfectly tailored for mainstream appeal.
