James Sunderland and Brett Hite’s single “Capsize” went viral in June 2016, streaming more than 18 million times on Spotify within a month of its release and earning a nod as a contender for Spotify's Song of the Summer.
Watch Frenship perform a stripped down version of their hit "Capsize" for WCPO Lounge Acts.
“Once the song came out and we started playing concerts, we realized how big it had become because the houses were packed and everyone was singing along,”Hitetold The Fairfax Times. “We had this big song and we weren’t really prepared for it.”
