Meet the Band

We are Fall From Ruin...

Alan Connolly

Alan leads the technology side of the band not just in sound solution but also the many media faces. Alan’s main influences include Alter Bridge, Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed. His sound is delivered using Fender, Schecter and Ibanez guitars and a headrush pedal board for live work.

Mike Pasby

A founding member, Mike Pasby has been playing guitar for decades and draws on influences from Guns N Roses, Queen and Black Stone Cherry amongst others. His ultimate guitar hero is Slash of G'n'R and Velvet Revolver fame.

Mike can also bring a sometimes unexpected, somewhat unpredictable but always entertaining physicality to the live performance. His sound is courtesy of a Gibson Les Paul Traditional and a Headrush pedalboard for live work.

Sam Bailey

Drums.

A founding member, Sam Bailey has been playing drums since early teens with his playing style being derived from his love of rock, prog, metal and funk.

Sam's favourite artists include Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Muse and RHCP. It is no surprise that he quotes Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini and Chad Smith as direct influences on his playing style. Sam currently uses Mapex drums/hardware Meinl Cymbals and Evans drum heads.

Cameron packer
