The Fall Biography
Mercurial performer, Mark E Smith, auditioned for a number of heavy metal bands but finding his musical tastes far more eclectic, formed The Fall in 1977. The Fall provided Mark with a far better base from which to utilise his talents and of course the other major plus was that it was his band. The line up of The Fall has constantly been in fluctuation around Mark, but the band has successfully weathered the storms of all these changes. The Fall, were and indeed always have been seen as a cult band and thus they have survived the trends of the music business whilst others come and go. The late John Peel was a huge fan and one of the most high profile members of the band’s fan base. Of all the artists John Peel had welcomed to his show over the years, the session recordings of Mark E Smith and The Fall are allegedly the only ones he kept in his personal archive.
More recently, The Fall has enjoyed renewed success with many of their classic albums being
re-released. The band also appeared on the popular UK television programme ‘Later With Jools Holland’. The Fall recently released a critically acclaimed studio album, ‘Re Load’, which was a mixture of new material alongside re-recorded classic tracks. The resultant album garnered many excellent reviews in the mainstream newspapers.
