*May 2013*
Fresh from recording their new EP in Byron Bay with producer, Anthony Lycenko (BusbyMarou, Pete Murray), the The Short Fall are keen to show off the fruits of their hard work.
With a sound drawing from influences such as Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, City & Colour, Boy & Bear, and The Temper Trap, The Short Fall’s EP, titled ‘Make a Move’ is a unique blend of alternative indie folk and rock.
Led by brothers Angelo & Ryan Conway, the aptly named ‘Make a Move’ EP signals a shift towards a more mature sound, and contains 5 beautifully crafted songs that showcase the Conway brothers’ talents for vocal harmonies and guitar playing. Their live performances bring a new perspective to the songs on the EP; performing as a duo with just their guitars and voices on show, The Short Fall deliver with emotion and sincerity, and are garnering a reputation for wowing audiences with their flawless harmonies.
The EP Launch Tour aims to continue to build momentum for The Short Fall, who have recently supported Aria Award winners The Whitlams, and had their single ‘The Meadow’ receive air time on RAGE and crack the Triple J Unearthed top 100 charts.
‘Make a Move’ is now available digitally on iTunes, Reverbnation & BandCamp.
