Alternative rock band CLOUDFALLS have two albums under their belts, with a bunch of videos! An all new album is expected come the end of this year 2020! Find out what more was said about this band from music, bit of history and other bands they would recommend we check out!
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Hi, Well, it all started as a single project of mine, I just stopped playing with my previous band (metal band), I get my first kid at that time also. So I was kind of bandless and I started work on some softer material, rock music for fun. And very quickly I got some serious good songs and I missed being on stage so much, so I decided to make a new band. At first it was called Super heroes chronicles, and I changed during 2 years about 30 times of other musicians (very hard to find good bros..) and the name changed to H.E.R.O. Basically all the lyrics were about super heroes fighting super villains ah ah… and somehow, someday I found Raphael a very talented guitar player and he brought in his brother Alx behind the drum, Meumeu at the bass was already in the band HERO, and we renamed the band Cloudfalls. Then we started work on the first album Start over, made some videos, some gigs in France. Then new album Ravens don’t fall came 2018. We are currently working on 2 new albums, a first one with new material and a second one as an orchestral version of some of our old songs (+ some new ones as a bonus).
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
Cloudfalls means "the internet cloud" falls, it’s a reflection about what if the cloud actually fall someday, what would happen to our society. It’s pretty far from the super hero basic concept behind some of our lyrics, but it also just sound good…
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We are from Lyon in France. There is plenty of bands but we start to have trouble finding good venues for local bands. The French regulations changed few years ago and most of small bars and small venues couldn’t spend money to be up to date, so they simply stopped making live shows.
I can recommend WHIST https://www.youtube.com/user/WhistBand.

4. How would you describe your style?
We make alternative hard rock, some say alternative rock or post rock. What we do is rock music tented with metal and Californian punk.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We release 2 albums and a bunch of videos. You can expect a variety of strong powerful songs and some rock ballads as well.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
Yes we have already 6 songs for the next album coming end of 2020.
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?Unfortunately nothing, these days particularly completed with the virus. We didn’t made plan yet. We have a show end of June if it’s not cancelled, fingers crossed. By the way we really show our full potential on stage, it’s where we belong and where we are the best.
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
Our plans is to keep releasing good albums, having some fun, making more gigs :) and why not found a good label to go to the next level.
