[edit] Singles

I think She Is is being released as a single?? �58.170.188.227 05:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Unless you have a source then what you think doesn't really make a difference...--danielfolsom 02:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How are they indie or alternative?

Not to start an argument, but Epic and Sony are kind of directly opposed to the indie aesthetic. 209.6.170.137 02:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christian genre

The Fray says in an interview that they are all Christians and they are a faith-based band but don't like playing with Christian bands to a Christian audience because the audience is already Christian, and they don't have a chance to change lives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.220.1.24 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 6 August 2007).

A) the Fray have said they're all Christian - that's true, in fact I'm pretty sure we say that in the article. B) They aren't a christian band - that's also true (as you said). we also say this in the article. C) The audience is Christian - that's not true- I haven't seen that in any report and I sincerely doubt such a statement would have been made. However, the fact that the Fray say they aren't a Christian band means we can't classify them as a Christian band -it's not our right to choose, it's their's.--danielfolsom 19:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you missed his point. He was saying that the Fray would rather not play to a Christian audience because they won't have the life changing impact like they could possibly have if they played in front of a non Christian audience. To assume that you could ever have a whole audience that is Christian is extremely naive ha, but that was what he was trying to say i think. -Brad 128.175.81.47 (talk) 01:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I think they are a Christian but they mix it up so the can reach non christians like many other bands have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.29.159.58 (talk) 16:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Fray - Vienna.ogg

Image:The Fray - Vienna.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
