The Frst drop new single

Musician Mikei Gray has had a decorated sonic career that’s seen him share the stage with the likes of Florida Georgia Line, Portugal. The Man and Sublime With Rome all over the world from venues such as The Grand Ole Opry to the Vans Warped Tour. In 2017, when looking to create a project that fully expressed his creative vision he founded The FRST, intentionally leaving out the ‘i’ due to the shifting nature of the outfit’s lineup.

Balancing hard-hitting riffs with reflective lyricism, The Frst has struck a chord with fans of Machine Gun Kelly and Weezer, linking up with featured artists such as Nathan Cogan of Taking Back Sunday, Andrew Leahey of Thirty Tigers, Insane Clown Posse’s Jeff Hutchins, Justin Smith and Eric Barfield to name a few. Unveiling the project in 2018, The Frst dropped the debut single “Another One”, followed up by a string of singles in the build up to their first record Prelude which featured the track “Ammo” which hit the #1 spot of Soundcloud’s USA Rock Chart as well as “Tarantino” which took #1 on US FM Radio (KXFM and #78 on iTunes Top 100 Rock Songs Chart.

Continuing to go from strength-to-strength over the last two years with more stellar releases and collaborations, the Frst now brings us their latest work with the new single titled “Trust Fall”. Laying down an energising pop rock sound, “Trust Fall” is an anthemic and instantly catchy hit written about facing your fears and demons.

Blending driving guitars, pacy percussion and Mikei Grey’s soaring vocal leads all wrapped up in shiny production, with “Trust Fall” The Frst shares another storming modern rock track. Mixed by Grammy winner Steve Hardy, who’s previous credits include Alicia Keys and Jay Z, and mastered by Andy VanDette who’s worked with the likes of David Bowie, Sublime, The Beastie Boys and Rush, “Trust Fall” captures a powerful sound and uplifting message of optimism from a band at the top of their game.

Commenting on the single, band founder Mikei Grey shares, “It was written during a time of desperation in my life; so sonically, I wanted there to be a warmth that feels like your favourite thrift store cardigan, while the lyrics brokenheartedly champion the underdog. Overall there’s a general sense of urgency and youthful optimism that feels both classic and fresh.”
