Terror We Fall

Terror We Fall is a punk/rock band out of the small town of Redfield, South Dakota. This small town band has big dreams and we're confident that they'll get there! They have done shows outside of their hometown, including the near-by town of Aberdeen and Sioux Falls, SD (the largest city in SD) Most impressively, they've ventured out of the state to play in Minnesota as well as North Dakota.
The band of four includes Jake Hardie (bass), Chandler Fall (guitar), Brandon Bruce (vocals/guitar), and Chris Shine (drums). The band formed by knowing each other through school and mutual friends. The quartet has been together since 2014. Hopefully they'll be together for many years more. 3 out of 4 members will be attending college in Minnesota to study music in the fall of 2017, leaving one behind in SD to finish high school. However, this is not deterring the band from pursuing their dream. They believe they will be more dedicated then ever. Distance isn't going to split them up.
Their first show was at the armory in Redfield in December of 2014. According to the band, things did not play out well. "We told people not to come past these chairs because it'll sound like crap. Needless to say it sounded like crap everywhere." - Jake Hardie. Their first successful show was at the Red Rooster Cafe in Aberdeen. They got the gig when the owner saw them perform at a parade in Redfield. He reached out to them and gave them a chance to show the people of Aberdeen what they were really capable of.
Obviously, since then they have made major improvements and have advanced in their career. As mentioned above, they've been playing everywhere and even going on little mini tours. They have merchandise available that they have designed and sell themselves. The band loves to play covers from all sorts of different bands. "We draw inspiration from a lot of different bands and music. We don't like to stick with and play just one thing." - Brandon Bruce. On top of playing an extensive range of covers, they have a 5 song EP called This Ones for You released July 7, 2016. They claimed to be working on some new music, but they didn't want to give too much away. All of us are super excited to see what they'll bring to the table in the near future.
These four boys have the personality, determination, charisma, and talent to get them where they want to go. They just need a little extension to their fan base to reach their final goal: a spot on Warped Tour. It would mean a great deal to the band, as well as the writers here, if you would check them out. Their social medias are listed down below. Terror We Fall is on the rise. We have full faith that they will make their mark in the music world one day.

King Of The Acapella App

Everybody has seen the acapella videos produced by an extremely cool new app. It basically replaced Vine for uprising singers. And for people just to goof around. One kid stands out from the crowd of consumers. That would be Austin Jones. All of his acapella videos have gone viral! But who is he? He's way more than a singer on an app and another teen heartthrob.
Austin is a 23 year old from Chicago. His musical styling ranges from Alternative to pop. Of course he has mastered acoustic and acapella music. Austin is definitely a musical king when it comes to social media. He has managed to gather 528,400 likes on his Facebook page, which for a fairly unknown artists to the public is pretty good. His Youtube channel has rapidly expanded since he first started it in July of 2007. As of right now he has over 117,295 subscribers and, as of today, 3,551,894 total views. His Vine following is roughly around 248,000.
Austin started his musical journey in 2010. He began writing his own music that year after "tragic events". He didn't go much deeper than that as far as I know. Honestly, I don't care. I'm just glad that he started in the first place! Austin released his first EP, "We'll Fall Together", in July 2014. The EP went to #12 on the iTunes charts and hit #34 on Billboard's Heat Seekers Chart. Not only did he have a very successful debut EP, he also had rather successful singles. He's released "Love Yourself (acoustic), Meds and Beds, and Fly Away. All of the above are available for download on iTunes.
Since Austin had gained such a big following in such short amount of time, Alternative Press invited him to join their 2015 Warped Tour. With this opportunity, Austin was able to expand his fan base and work along side big name artists. Some of those names included a few of my favorites: Black Veil Brides, Pierce the Veil, AS IT IS, Metro Station, and Our Last Night. Of course there were many other names. Those were just a few of my favorites.
However, Austin didn't walk away from Warped with all positives. Austin was caught up in the middle of a scandal. While touring he was accused of asking underage girls for videos of them twerking. When the rumors started, Warped was forced to take him out of the line up along with other social media sensations. He didn't deny the rumors long. Instead he released an apology. Austin immediately apologized for asking for the inappropriate videos. He also pointed out the fact that he was unaware that some of the people he was talking to were underage. Apparently he sent silly videos of him twerking back. He wasn't taking them very seriously. It was fun and games. He apologized for his actions and said that he was embarrassed for his family, friends, himself, and his fans.

Austin's "I Write Sins not Tragedies" cover

I believe the incident has long been forgotten. Warped Tour said that he had done nothing wrong and had taken responsibility for his actions. They weren't ashamed to have him on their line-up and would be happy to have him again. Since then Austin has regained a lot of his fans and fame with the help of the acapella app. His most popular videos are covers of Fall Out Boy, Panic!, and even Sleeping with Sirens. Austin has true talent. He has made some mistakes, but unlike many other stars, he took responsibility. There is no doubt that he is the King of the Acapella App.
