Fall From Grace

Hear it Now

Dubbed "the band that will not die," the members of Fall from Grace are anything but dead. Touted as wild and energetic performers, this punk band will not only make you want to mosh, they'll help you solve your problems too. We're not just talking about lyrics you can relate to -- this band connects with fans on a deeper level.

After all of the hardships the band has faced -- from brothers Brian and Ken Olson who not only suffered a difficult childhood, but had to cope with Brian's near fatal car crash that put him in a coma -- to drummer Kenny Bates who became epileptic from vaccines he received when he joined the army -- the band is eager to counsel fans and help them through the emotional challenges they face.

No doubt it's tough for them to answer every email and letter they receive, especially since they've become more popular, but they do. In fact, the band mates, who consider themselves more like family, divvy up the "Dear Abby" style letters from fans.

For Tryg Littlefield, who emancipated himself from his abusive mother when he was 12-years-old, dealing with teen issues is important. He was always inspired by musicians, so when Fall From Grace began performing, he immediately connected with people by giving out his phone number and answering emails. "We've saved lives," said Littlefield.

In addition to sharing advice, the band also tours a lot and was on a Fuse's reality TV show Bodog Battle of the Bands, which they ended up winning (though they do not like reality television). With their new one million dollar record deal with Bodog Music, by the grace of all the band's goodness, we can all look forward to hearing more from Fall From Grace.
