WE SAY
“........this art will play and we’ll be alright”
DO YOU WANT TO BE LOVERS?.................
so, here you go, let’s lay it out for you…
Race The Fray are five kids from Melbourne making art because we like art. We’re not overly tough and we’re not super cool, but we are honest. Not a lot of people really care about us, but I guess no-one really cares about anything these days.

We write, shoot, paint, make, design, animate or draw every piece of artwork (music, posters, video clips, website etc) that we release. We make it on our own and we’ll make it on our own. We’re still passionately independent like a teenage runaway and are focused on delivering attention to detail in every aspect of our art. We don’t have a lot of money but we do have commitment and obsession. We are concerned but at the same time optimistic, just like you, we get upset when people die. Back-burn us now so then the regrowth can begin.
We play rock and roll but we arenot in fashion….

Race The Fray have been on the Local indie scene since 2001. Through hours of hard work (not to mention a good measure of masochism) we’ve managed to organise and achieve the following: – One national (15 shows, 5 states) and three east coast tours (QLD, NSW, VIC, TAS) – Perfoming on ROVE LIVE as the House Band – Spot rotation on Nova 100 with first single ‘Always Away’ – Featured as ‘exposed artist’ on triple j plus light rotation on Home and Hosed. – Distribution of two EPs through MGM (one under the previous moniker "The Fray" before those bastards from the US stole our name!) – Second EP – This Art Will Play – debuted at #18 in the AIR charts before climbing as high as #3. – Numerous film clips on Rage and other visual media.

Race The Fray is the real deal and we are passionate about delivering the full artistic package (visual, audio and otherwise). We have
self-funded the recording of all our EPs (as well as touring and promotional costs) and are well backed by the passion and talent of Big Nick who does our artwork, video clips and website to ensure that Race The Fray is represented across all media.

“Let’s take it back to what we started, think of something we all wanted to be, inside the darkness of it all, our fists react to the marching of your feet.”

"These hotly tipped Melbourne rockers have just released an impressive new EP"
The Age, Melbourne.

“.......a bold step into world beyond two verses and a catchy chorus. Race The Fray are here to stay and this reviewer is certain that they’ve got what it takes to play with the big boys. Indeed, this art will play, and be played!!”
Beat Magazine, Review, Sept, 2005.

....and you want to call it pop because they’re so good to look at but you know that pop never looks like it hurts that much.

“...spiffing.”

Seems like the band owners have been pretty boring here, you should get in contact with them and find out why it's empty!
