The Fallen Idols

HOW FAR WOULD YOU FALL?

About Me


Formerly known as 50 Cent Ride, The Fallen Idols are a hard rock band from Boise, ID. Since the groups conception in 2001 they have specialized in a new hybrid of rock music. Taking their influences from the masters classic rock, they inject a dynamic array of modern ideas the Fallen Idols have dubbed their particular genre of music Cocaine Rock, which is also the title of their first album, released by Statue Records. The Fallen Idols formed in the spring of 2001 to play in a collected rock venue. Due to an overwhelming fan support and popularity of their music, The Fallen Idols decided to become a more permanent fixture in their local music surroundings. The group has played throughout Boise and others areas of Idaho. They have headlined and opened for other independent touring groups such as The Broke, Pummel, and Midnight to 12. When they placed their music on MP3.com they accrued three times the downloads than any other band from the Boise area.

The Fallen Idols are comprised of four members:
The Reverend:who supplies the dynamic lead voice of the Fallen Idols as well as his formidable skills as secondary lead guitarist. He also writes and arranges predominantly all of the Fallen Idols music.
The Axeman: is the Fallen Idols primary lead guitarist, whose incendiary style provides the group with their devastating sound.
Brian "Give Her Hell": Is the Bass guitarist, who supplies the bone-crushing power that the Fallen Idols are known to give out of their music live or recorded.
Mr.Long: Last but never least, he sits at the heart of the rhythm section being the percussionist putting on an electrifying show by himself. Usually playing till something brakes or last call, which ever happens first.

With a catalogue of over 50 original songs The Fallen Idols are forging a path into a new era of rock and roll. Their latest album was recorded, engineered, and produced by The Fallen Idols themselves in the Reverends basement using an antiquated 8 track Fostex reel to reel and a severely underpowered home computers. The results were extraordinary and surpassed the efforts of many of the fully equipped studios in the area. The Fallen Idols are a group showing a revolutionary approach to modern rock genre.
