The Fall, The Rise<br>(from Birmingham, England)

About me

Location	Birmingham, United Kingdom
Introduction	Following the dissolution of their previous band Martin, Simon and Steve-being first and foremost long term friends-decided to continue making the music they wanted to hear and formed TFTR in late 2004. After losing their bass player they were fortunate enough to find Chris, who shared their love of both heavy and melodic music and the line up you see today was complete. The blueprint was simple: If they thought it was good and they enjoyed playing it, then it was good enough for the public to hear. Their songs contain punishing heavy sections coupled with an almost pop music mentality of ensuring there is always a catchy hook. After writing songs they were happy to record they entered the studio and set the songs down with Jim Turner of Waiting Room Studios/Tribute to Nothing. What came out of this recording was the debut album Interlopers 'which was quickly picked up by Black Records. It's 10 songs deal with sorrow, despair and ultimately redemption. Interlopers music has attracted the attention of important people, with song Bite Your Tongue and Walk Away getting multiple airplay from Zane Lowe on his Radio One show.
