With their new single “Nostalgia”, Froud sound like an American alternative rock/post- grunge band. The band started off on the right footing, signing non-exclusive publishing contract with US Licensing companies for TV, Film and Ad placement. This lead to a number of Internet radio stations featuring their songs. And lead to significant interest around Ireland, The UK & The US.
The good news became consistent when Skoepmag.com awarded them with 'Artist to Watch' receiving over 3 million hits and 500,000 unique visitors per month by music enthusiasts from all over the globe. (Previously awarded to Panic At The Disco, 50 Cent, The Dodos & Flobots).
Their forthcoming Single “Nostalgia” has been selected as one of the songs featured on a compilation album to be distributed in Italy next month by Midfinger and Busta Records. Over 20,000 copies will be distributed.
The Music Video for the single 'Nostalgia' is being featured on numerous websites as well as being aired by Music Mix USA (FOX,CBS,NBC, national US to approx 40million homes), The Eclectic Show (shown in 11 countries) and Swept Away TV. Swept Away TV is a nationally distributed US teen music/pop culture TV show. They are national winners of a 2004 AEGIS AWARD and finalists in the Billboard Music Video Awards for Regional Programs. Seen in 42 markets including NYC, Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta and Phoenix it is estimated to be available in 19 million households. Some of the artists interviewed by Swept Away TV over the past 5 years include Maroon5, , The Black Eyed Peas, Dashboard Confessional, Hoobastank, Good Charlotte, Reel Big Fish, The Presidents of the United States! Not bad company to be keeping!
Froud hail from a nationwide cross-section of Carrickmacross, Kilkenny, Swords and Athlone with very strong links to Wexford where the whole band began!
