Semitt Falls

Semitt Falls are a British band formed in 2012 in Stockport, Manchester. They combine metal genres, with various electronic dance genres, such as drum and bass, hip-hop, dub, electronica, reggae, and dubstep to create a unique sound. The band is named after a location in the 1988 console game 'Final Fantasy II'. The band was started by Paul Kendrick and Jay Kane in 2012 after their previous band, Halt Under Heavy Fire" disbanded. After many months of struggling to find their own sound and numerous line-up changes the band were settled on their new line up of Craig Gilroy (Vocals and bass), Paul Kendrick (Guitar, progamming, vocals), Jay Kane (Keys and vocals), and Daniel Houghton (Drums). The band changed their sound dramatically, moving from a post-hardcore sound to a more electronic rock feel while keeping the aggressive style which then led Jay moving away from keyboards to a more central vocal role, taking aspects of hip-hop and metal and adding it to the mix. The band recorded and released Monkey See, Monkey Do Doo in May 2012 and received good reviews including Artist of the Week on Reverbnation. The band entered an international battle of the bands competition making it all the way to the final at the O2 in London. Shortly after the final Craig Gilroy left the band for personal reasons and the band went on the lookout for a new bassist, in their search they came across Sidge Rushton, who dropped easily into the role and made it his own. The band yet again messed with their style, where Jay took on all vocal duties, and even set up adding live effects such as glitches, stutters and other crazy sounds to create a unique an wubtastic sound. The band have recently released a new EP titled "I Know Bear Heads" and is available for free on BandCamp and Soundcloud. Drummer Daniel Houghton recently parted ways with the band and they are on the lookout for a new talented drummer to fill his boots. Manchester's very own metal dubstep wompers
