Rap
Rap

The Fray is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Mutemath, Keane, Counting Crows, Better Than Ezra and U2. Those roots explain a lot about how The Fray arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Five for Fighting, The Calling, Gavin DeGraw, Daughtry and Vertical Horizon, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kris Allen, Julia Michaels, Andy Grammer, A Day to Remember and Iann Dior, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 45 connections around The Fray, reaching back through Mutemath and forward to Kris Allen.
