With their new single “Nostalgiaâ€, 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 selected by The Eclectic Show (shown in 11 countries) and Swept Away Tv - stateside!
