The Frequency was an independent rock band from Los Angeles, CA. Marc Cazorla and Alex Stiff, later of The Record Company, were the core songwriting and recording duo behind the music. They used an array of analog and vintage instruments to create sounds described by NME as "stripped back music strengthened by simplicity as much as beauty". Q Magazine gave the release "Morning to 3 A.M." 3 out of 4 stars and hailed the band as "able to form perfectly crafted Air-like synth-pop while also stretching their wings on the 17 minute ever-shifting psych rock track 'Ego Is the Drug/3 A.M.'

In 2010, The Frequency signed a worldwide publishing deal with Chrysalis Music Archived 2004-06-04 at archive.today in the UK. The song "Jim Gordon Part II" played all over the globe due to being licensed for a yearlong BlackBerry television commercial campaign. Music from The Frequency was also featured in major motion pictures and television shows.

Inspired by music from Pink Floyd, Air, Can, and Spiritualized, the live show added intensity to the music. The Frequency shared the stage with diverse artists, such as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Bravery, Primus, Matisyahu, Mutemath, and Lotus. The show was described as an audio/visual feast for the senses and led Quebec City's Live Daily newspaper to declare "The Frequency should be on every rock fan's radar."

The Frequency's "Jim Gordon Part II" was nominated for the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for Jam Song of the year.
