The Fall of Troy: 20 Years of Doppelganger, with A Lot Like Birds

The Fall of Troy is a three-piece experimental progressive rock band from Mukilteo, Washington. The band consists of Thomas Erak (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Forsman, (drums), and Frank Black (bass, backup vocals).

The Fall of Troy have been together since 2002. The band is characterized by the alternating vocals of Erak and formerly Ward, multiple effects, and Erak's vocal extremes (soothing singing voice to a harsh, shrill scream). All three founding members came from the band The 30 Years War, which they were in when they were all about 17 years old.

The Fall of Troy draws from the progressive roots of bands like King Crimson and Yes, while also combining it with the modern experimental sound influenced by bands like At the Drive-In and The Blood Brothers. They also claim to be influenced by a wide variety of bands from The Beatles and Weezer to Aphex Twin and lots of hip hop.
