Fraser is a London based indie/folk-pop band created by frontman Fraser Gregory.
Born in Scotland and raised in Malta, Gregory gained a solid reputation from a young age by founding reknown Maltese export The Beangrowers (Rough Trade). Despite the band’s success and the future opportunities that followed, Gregory decided to explore different musical avenues and went on to perform as a solo artist in both Europe and the USA after parting ways with the band. During this time he encountered a series of life-changing awakenings, mishaps and tradegies that transformed his songwriting style to what it is today.
On returning from his international tours, and having made a significant musical impact on the population of Malta, Gregory decided to change direction yet again by moving to London, where he soon met likeminded musicians Stuart Davenport (lead guitar), Daniel Muscat (bass) and Michael Lavarone (drums) and subsequently formed the band Fraser.
Fraser decided to recruit a team of the band’s favourite musical inspirations to help record their debut album ‘A Garden At The Top Of The Tree’. The album was produced by David Vella (Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club) at Temple Studios, mixed by Luuk Cox and mastered at Metropolis Studios by Frank Archwright (Radiohead, Damien Rice, The Kooks)
After hitting the London gig circuit last summer, Fraser were quickly hand-picked from hundreds of bands to support Queen’s keyboardist Spike Edney and his All Star Band in December. Fraser’s catchy and upbeat ‘Lay It On The Line’ song was chosen to be the lead single from their debut album, particularly due to it’s fantastic response and feedback from the industry during the sold-out show. It was released on the 25th of January and has since gained decent support from Steve Lemacq, John Kennedy, Tom Robinson and Jim Gellatly amongst other radio tastemakers who are keen to get on board with more of Fraser’s music.
The band’s debut album “A Garden At The Top Of The Tree” was released this summer 2010 via Moody Noodle Records, with further single releases coming later on in the year.
