Dead Rose Downfall were formed from the ashes of 2 struggling young
bands named Area 52(haha) and Reinforced(hahaha). The 2 joined very
slowly mainly in the first years of high school. Tom McHale (lead and
rhythm guitarist) and former bassist Benji Fletcher were the Area 52
crew, and had always wanted to be in a band.
The
same was happening with young Dani Beardmore (lead and rhythm guitarist),
who was in reinforced with some other members. The 3 guys met through
becoming friends at school. They all enjoyed the same music, and decided
to form a band. Now, I could go into detail of all the many different
line ups and changes, but i'll not go there as we could be here for
a while. So we'll stick to most recent. Early in 2004, the new band
named Bullet Theory, who featured Tom, Dani, Benji, Na Hutchinson and
former singer Sam Herron, had done a few gigs together when they realised
the singer was a fat waste of space and was more intrested in other
things. He was dropped from the band. After a few weeks of searching
for a new frontman, Dani told Tom and Benji that he had been talking
to his old reinforced bandmate Andy Cox. After a jam with him, he was
enrolled as the new singer. Almost a year later, some problems arrised
with Benji. Benji was also dropped and Dave (geordie boy) Kay was taken
to fill the bass slot. Now the most recent
change has taken place through all the band. We recently changed our
name from Bullet Theory to Dead Rose Downfall. We decided to do this
as we weren't getting very far by using the ffaf song as our name.
Also,
recently we have taken on our new drummer Inny, as we have been having
many problems with Na. Dead Rose Downfall have recently recorded an
3 song demo/ep. The guys walked into pig hut studios on the 4th June
and recorded what they thought would be a good recording. However, Andy
was flat and some things needed fixing, so Tom, Dani and Andy went back
and re-did the fuck-ups.
The Abolesco E.P is available now.
