First Fall

When I look for artists to write about, there are several components I look for. First, there has to be drive. I’m not going to help a musician who doesn’t help themselves. Next, I look for originality. Finally, I absolutely must see and hear talent. These guys have all of that and more. First Fall is a quintet representing Southern California. David Larrea, Joe Esparza, Gerardo Cisneros, Marvin Espinoza, and Adam Coronado are the members of the group that was founded in 2007. Since that time, they have performed at places like the Miami Music Festival in 2009 with RCA artists 2AM Club and Jared Evan and Los Angeles House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard.


One of the interesting things about First Fall is that their genre of music is really an undefined one. They infuse a very healthy blend of rock, alternative, blues and jazz. With an eclectic style, their debut EP, Tunnels, is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Adding a special touch, percussionist extraordinaire Alex Acuña, who is widely known for being a session player for major acts and was member of the 70’s jazz-fusion group Weather Report, was gracious enough to lend his talents as a special contribution to the EP. How awesome is that?!? The EP was mainly recorded at the Tabernacle Sound Lab, with fine tuning by producer Hugo Larrea and mixed by Tim Palmer, whose roster of collaborations include U2, Pearl Jam and Jason Mraz, as well as Grammy award winning mixer Benny Faccone, who has worked with Lou Rawls and Billy Paul, to name a few.

Tunnels is scheduled for a May release and will be available on the bands official site, as well as www.amazon.com, www.rhapsody.com and www.itunes.com. The video for their single “Inside Out,” produced by Antonio Lozano, is posted below; prepare to be blown away!
