One of the most underrated parts of the concert experience is getting to hear the smaller opening acts who have to go out and play in front of a crowd impatient for the band they actually came to see. That being said, here's an amazing band who I would never have even heard of if they hadn't opened for a show I recently went to see with a friend.
Artist: Beyond The Fall
According to their Reverbnation page (linked above), Beyond The Fall is a "hard hitting melodic rock band from "L/A Maine" that formed mid-2009, that focuses on heavy grooves, melodic structures, and musicianship with an original feel and style."
Going from the meager handful of their tracks that I've actually heard, I would have to say that that description is pretty accurate.
Their songs have a very well-put-together feel to them, with structures that are just as clean as they are complex and intricate. The vocals are quite precise, and are neither too heavy or light, finding a nice middle to appeal to ears of all different backgrounds.
Instrumentally, the guitar and drums are impressive, showcasing the technical abilities of the band members in addition to their talent when it comes to just putting an exciting rock song together.
Some standout tracks include;
• Alone
• The Way
• Where You've Gone
• Hard To Find
• My Comfort
• Another Time
Coincidentally, it would appear that as they are a smaller, not-so-famous, band, the best way to listen to their music online is through the site linked previously. And if you decide to give them a chance, you'll find that I just listed all the songs from that site as standout tracks. The great part about that is that it's totally true.
Heyyyyy im that friend ;) i winnn

ReplyDeleteknow the guys in BTF. They take very seriously their music and deliver 100% during their live performances. They have garnered a sizable following, mainly from people who have witnessed a show and were blown away and spread the word. Maine has an active but small music scene with shows taking place sporadically. If you get a chance to catch a BTF show, do so. You won't be disappointed. RC Los Angeles, CA.
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm a native Mainer and was able to see their performance opening for Shinedown last month at the Bangor Waterfront!
DeleteWhen they took the stage, I didn't know what to expect, but afterwards I wished their set had been longer - they had a great stage presence and their music sounded amazing!
