Toward the Fray is the beginning of a new chapter in our journey as a band. Music brought us all together some 16 years ago, but life and our evolution as people, not just musicians, is what keeps us together and keeps things interesting. Now we have something to say, and the experience to seize that moment in a meaningful way. Maybe this is just a first step in this new direction, and we are certainly not claiming to have all the answers--after all, the irony of growth is that there is a humility in it. But as we gain a sense of awareness and responsibility, we want to do everything we can to honor that and do some good in the world. That's what this album is all about.
