Driving The Fall

JUST A VICTIM OF MY OBSESSION

About Me

Known for their perfect blend of hard rock and harmony, Driving The Fall has managed to conquer central Florida and are spreading the word all over the nation.

With an all-star lineup consisting of ex-members of The Glitter Guns, Final Chapter, and NY based bands Loopus and Up-Hux, the members of DTF have years of experience between them, including extensive club tours and the Vans Warped Tour.

DTF puts on one of the most energetic and explosive live performances in the region, and are currently working on their debut album, due out soon.

Influences: Driving the Fall Reviews:
"As usual DTF's command of perfectly blended harmonies and meaningful melodies turns the potential cacophony of 'screamo' rock into hard driving messages of fall and redemption and survival at all odds but without the bleating of blame or the call for revenge that sometimes accompany such declarations. Apparently DTF sees the answers within themselves. Admirable in this age of victimology where everyone knows the problem and it's not them. The variety and range of the vocals, melodies and beats convince me that we'll be hearing and seeing DTF long into the future no matter which direction music may choose to go in. In DTF, we have the combination of multi- and many talented songwriters, vocalists and musicians who have a message and know how to send it without alienating half the population."
