---Silence the Fall: Band Bio---
Silence the Fall is more than just a rock band. It's a group of musicians who set out to create a different style and sound. Drawing influences from metal, jazz, hardcore, funk and classic rock, this group of friends who met at college are bringing the world a different kind of rock n roll; a kind that grabs the listeners' attention and really boasts their talents. Fronted by melodic female vocalist Ania Bogdanowicz, STF is setting their mark on a genre dominated by male singers, and is proving their unique sound can stand strong. With percussive funk bass lines (Marc Wallace) thick creative rhythm guitars (Jon D'Urso), classic rock n roll solos (Tommy Venom) and chaotic tom-driven drumming (Mark Nunez), STF is pushing the limit to the edge.

After enjoying some time on independent label 4 Dot 6 Records, STF has parted ways with the company, taken their manager Jamie Bush (formerly of Arista Records) and has gone into the studio to record and self-produce their debut EP entitled "It's Only Forever." Averaging 300 plays per day and hitting the #10 metal band spot in their first week alone on purevolume.com, Silence the Fall is ready to blow up and show the world that it is possible to take the best of different styles of music and create something beautiful.
