FEEL THE FALL

Feel the Fall is a five piece alternative rock band from Orange County, CA which officially formed over the summer of 2006. Obsessed with warm driving tones, passionate percussion and clarion countermelodies, Feel the Fall literally manipulates 22 strings to dynamically emulate the emotions of their lyrics. Critics and listeners compare Feel the Fall's sound to bands such as The Fray, Foo Fighters, and Smashing Pumpkins.
Feel the Fall was formed by lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player Dave Des Armier (Des Army A) from Huntington Beach, CA with a group of close friends all desiring to create and contribute to a style of music they love. Dave has performed most recently as the bassist of Nice (neese), former Orange County Music Awards Best New Band Nominee for 2004. After several members of Nice decided to form Tank Farm Clothing, Dave began collaborating (at first) with former band mate Jamin Boggs (drums) and then later invited Jerry Elekes (lead guitar/bgv's) to help play/promote/manage Feel the Fall. The trio performed together in the popular OC rock/ska band 180 later to become Flight 180. Jerry Elekes then recommended personal friend Brandon Cuevas (lead guitar/bgv's) due to his outstanding musicianship as well as Mike Merryman (bass) which those familiar with the OC hardcore music scene have probably seen Mike perform with the band Focused. Both Cuevas and Merryman have also performed extensively on tours all around the United States.
The story of how the band chose the name Feel the Fall will vary depending on who you talk to. Is it about Isaac Newton? Is it about the turning leaves and crisp air at the change of the season? Actually, like the personal and emotional lyrics on every track, Feel the Fall is about feeling the emotions of the human condition. Feel The Fall is about living life and all that goes with it.
