The Almost Fallen were once a two piece band from Carlisle. Having studied management at Dumfries university; bassist Nicholas Morris began work at the stationary super giant Staples. having been working at Subway for a couple of years, drummer Jason Aubrey started bumping into Morris at the local Tescos quick food counter. After a few weeks Aubrey learnt that Morris played bass. Soon a quick two piece had been set up and after a couple of jams "No Kind Words" was established.
A year later Miles Scarcliffe graduated from Newcastle with a degree in medicine. Lacking the inspiration to start work, some would say he foolishly took a year out. However to Miles it was the best decision he would ever make. Meeting Aubrey and Morris in "The Northern Boot" a tinny pub outside of Carlisle. Soon "No Kind Words" had a lead singer and also a new name. "Almost Fallen" were formed, with Miles taking on the role of charismatic lead man, promising to take the band places. Whilst Aubrey and Morris worked, Scarcliffe focused his energy on song writing. Whilst his parents dispaired, Miles formed the music that took the band to headline the Festival Republic stage at Reading and Leeds in 2010. The past year has seen the band lie relatively low, playing only one of gigs. However, vigilant blog posting lead fans to realise a new album-the recently released "realistic approaches"-was on its way.
Describing their influences and inspirations as anything from power rock heroes Muse (Matt Bellamy especially as Scarcliffe himself comes from the south), Scottish Indie band Frightened Rabbit and the harder rock of the Twilight Sad.
