Their tour is huge - as they launched off June 29 in Cincinnati in support of their self-titled sophomore set. It isn\'t just a headlining tour that will get them out of their houses and off of their iPhones (\"We\'ve all just been playing with our iPhones because the new update came out and we\'re all kind of geeks about that. Everyone\'s been staring at their iPhones for the last couple of days,\" drummer Ben Wysocki said to LiveDaily. \"We\'re held captive\").

It\'s an excuse to showcase their new sound for a side-splitting stint around the country, hitting up Indianapolis, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Irvine, Santa Barbara, Seattle, Vancouver and more through August. The Colorado natives aren\'t just celebrating a second set seeing mainstream success, but one that is just as equally deserving of their top Billboard 200 spot, as The Fray tickets continue to impress.

Though it is their second album, The Fray couldn\'t find any other title for the effort but their own as they finally feel like themselves for the set that has allowed them to see commercial and critical acclaim with hits like \"You Found Me.\" \"We just kind of put off the process of naming it,\" Wysocki says. \"But then once we really started thinking about it-somebody brought up the self-titled idea-the more that we thought about it and talked it over, it made a lot of sense. We think that this new record kind of sums up who we are a lot better than the first one even did. Maybe it\'s because we know better how to express ourselves through the songs. We\'ve gotten a little bit better as musicians. It\'s almost like the first record is the handshake. This is the conversation where you really get to know somebody. The more chances you have to share yourselves with people through music, the more you get to share. The fact that this is simply self-titled, I think, is pretty fitting because there\'s a lot more of us than any other record we\'ve made.\"

Formed in 2002, The Fray has really collaborated on this last version: \"Both albums were [collaborative], but this one definitely is much more than the first,\" Wysocki said. \"Every day, we learn more about being in a band and how to do that. These four members have not been the only lineup in the band. I actually replaced my best friend, who originally used to play drums. It was super early in the game that the members sort of changed around. The first record had pieces of songs or parts of songs that other members had contributed to or written.

This record was just the four of us over the course of a couple years, writing and creating. There were a couple songs that were 100 percent collaborations that came out of just us playing in a room and assembling some ideas that came out of that. We haven\'t really settled on one writing method. Sometimes, it\'ll come out of a little demo that Joe e-mails, or come out of three hours of just playing in a room together. It\'s a pretty wide variety of sources.\"
