Blessthefall Biography
Review The Artist (4)
From a city named after a mythical creature - known for its invincibility against competition and for its rise among ruin, Phoenix proves itself time and again to be a city on the rise- producing notable band after band. There can be no better representation then blessthefall. In addition to their staggering live performances, blessthefall have quickly become known for their uninhibited personalities and eccentricities, including a love for llamas, hot tamales, and the Top Gun soundtrack. They also carry certain advantages - as they are younger, yet equally as capable as their more established counterparts. A five-piece that dug its heels into the dry desert sands and refused to relent, blessthefall planted themselves amid the chaos of competition in January of 2004. Drummer Matt and guitarist Mike formed a band with sweeping dreams and untainted visions. Early on, with friends playing as interim members, the band gained regional recognition by winning local battle-of-the-bands contests, spurring them to continue forming the enterprise.. despite the member changes that young bands typically face. Temporarily secure in their line-up (with Craig..s vocals and Jared on bass) they spent the next year focused on evolving as musicians and refining their sound. Though they drew from bands like Underoath, Alexis On Fire, and As I Lay Dying, aspects of pop, hip-hop, rap, and even R&B surfaced in their songs - if not through Craig..s vocal reach, then through the beats and rhythms that surfaced in their music. Being one of the youngest bands in the area, blessthefall were added to bills with other notable local artists such as Greeley Estates and Handcrafted. In August of 2005 they recorded their self-titled 3 song EP which enhancing their growing reputation. By October the line up was complete when Eric was added on guitar, complementing the band's progressing sound. As the older bands were away from Phoenix touring and recording, blessthefall took advantage of the musical drought the Valley was in. They confirmed their capabilities by selling out show after show at the local venues. Ultimately, they were responsible for shutting down Neckbeard's (a well-known local venue) in January 2006. Doors were permanently closed after the employees failed to maintain capacity due to the hundreds of kids outside trying to force their way into an already sold-out show where blessthefall was headlining. They continued to share the stage with other established artists, often drawing a bigger crowd then those more reputed. Over the next few months blessthefall will tour much of the U.S. and Canada with Bleed The Dream, Greeley Estates and The Radio Rebellion tour featuring Norma Jean where they will no doubt garner recognition at an overwhelming rate while on the road. Their debut full length His Last Walk will be released on Science Records in early 2007. |

BlesstheFall :] | Reviewer: Rachel | 4/28/2008
I saw Blessthefall at the Taste of Chaos in Albany. They were awesome! They were very good. Also, I heard that they are broken up, but I saw Craig singing...is it true that they're broken up and that Craig Maddet is the new lead singer of Escape the Fate?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Danny Ray | 11/11/2007

i LOVE going to btf shows, home shows are always the best. we bring it! i.e. the closing of neckbeards. the clubhouse will be next.
as if the arizona heat is not enough, there were so many people at the march 15th show (over spring break), you could see heat rising off of the crowd, everyone was drenched in everyone else's sweat.
rise up is deff the best song live. "YEAH"
i am so happy for all that the guys have accoplished and hope for the best in everything else that they will do.
