Comes With The Fall

Some may have discovered Comes with the Fall due to singer William DuVall's association with <a href="spotify:artist:64tNsm6TnZe2zpcMVMOoHL">Alice in Chains</a>, but the group had been around for years and collected quite a few accolades in their own right -- before the singer stepped in for <a href="spotify:artist:4j1D2HVigkZ77JDPO2EPha">Layne Staley</a> during <a href="spotify:artist:64tNsm6TnZe2zpcMVMOoHL">Alice</a>'s 2006 tour. Comes with the Fall's focal point and leader is DuVall -- who also handles guitar duties and is the main songwriter. Having spent the '80s fronting cult punk bands and, later, writing for others (the singer/guitarist co-wrote the pop hit "I Know" for <a href="spotify:artist:7HO1DbzU86pWWp1vBN7l6k">Dionne Farris</a>), DuVall formed Madfly in the late '90s, a band that specialized in a more straightforward hard rock style and issued a pair of albums, Get the Silver and White Hot in the Black, before metamorphosing into Comes with the Fall in 1999. Originally hailing from Atlanta, GA, the group -- which also includes bassist Adam Stanger and drummer Bevan Davies (and for a brief spell, second guitarist Nico Constantine) -- relocated to Los Angeles a year later. Three releases followed (all on DuVall's DVL label), 2000's self-titled debut, 2001's The Year Is One, and 2002's Live 2002, before the group opened for (and served as the backing band for) <a href="spotify:artist:64tNsm6TnZe2zpcMVMOoHL">Alice in Chains</a> guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:5HUFo8AH9ZILmlyKFfEMNP">Jerry Cantrell</a> on his supporting tour for the Degradation Trip album. 2003 saw the release of a live DVD, Live Underground 2002, before an EP followed in 2006, The Reckoning. That same year, DuVall took a brief sabbatical from Comes with the Fall to tour with <a href="spotify:artist:64tNsm6TnZe2zpcMVMOoHL">Alice in Chains</a> (the group's first live dates since 1996) before returning to the group and issuing Beyond the Last Light in 2007. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
