Editor's note

The Fray's piano-driven rock from Denver

A Denver band that turned personal struggle into radio anthems about connection.

If you want the whole picture, start with 'Over My Head (Cable Car)' and then listen to 'Happiness'. That's the band right there.

When 'Over My Head (Cable Car)' hit in 2005, it wasn't just another rock song. It was a piano-driven confession that felt like a late-night conversation, and it opened the door for a whole album's worth of that sound. The band's foundation work around mental health awareness gives their songs about anxiety and connection some real weight.

They formed in Denver in 2002, naming themselves after a Friends character. After 'Over My Head' broke through, Isaac Slade's hiatus in 2009 while dealing with depression shaped later records like the one with 'Look After You' and 'Heaven Forbid'.
