Formation and early years (2002–2004)

The band members were mainly formed in Denver churches, where they served as leaders of worship, and three of them attended the Christian academy. At Faith Christian Academy, Isaac Slade and guitarist Joe King were several years ahead of drummer Ben Wysocki. David Welsh, a singer and guitarist, performed in the same worship group. Former schoolmates Slade and King reconnected in the spring of 2002 and began regular two-man jam sessions, which culminated in writing songs. Mike Ayars on guitar, Zach Johnson on drums, and Slade's younger brother Caleb on bass were all eventually asked to leave, but Caleb was later asked to leave. Caleb's departure from the band caused a rift in his friendship with Isaac, and the song "Over My Head (Cable Car)" was based on the brothers' waning friendship. Following this Johnson's departure from the band to attend an art school in New York.

Benjamin Wysocki, a former bandmate of Isaac Slade, joined as drummer and Dave Welsh, who was also a former Slade and Wysocki bandmate, was recruited as lead guitarist. The Fray, a newly formed band, was named. After being asked people to write band names on a piece of paper from which they randomly chose randomly, the band members settled on a name. At first, the band members argued that the name was appropriate because they often quarreled about the composition of the lyrics in their songs, but they have since stated that they are now on good terms when writing songs and acknowledging contributions from all members.
