*****
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, Alexisonfire, 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 Scary Kids Scaring Kids. 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. You
can catch them on the entire 2007 Vans Warped Tour on the Smartpunk Stage. Their
debut full length His Last Walk will be released on Science Records on April
10th, 2007.
