With the recent release of their new album In the Unlikely Event, The Fall of Troy, are touring North America, making a stop at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver on April 1.

For the past seven years Mukilteo, Washington’s own The Fall Of Troy has been ignoring fleeting musical and fashion trends as its members have embarked on a quest to cultivate their own unique brand of pro-gressive rock. Cinematic in scope and vision, the fourth album from the group sees the band expanding its sound in every sense of the phrase the heavy songs are bone-crushing, the melodic passages are instantly memorable and, most importantly, the avant-garde experimentation doesn’t overshadow the music’s inherent accessibility. The result is an album that unquestionably sounds like The Fall Of Troy because every song is so forward-thinking and innovative, but could also cross into countless other scenes both inside and outside the punk subgenre.

While many of the band’s peers are chasing success, the members of The Fall Of Troy are more con-cerned with creating honest and lasting art. “Obviously the first thing people are going to talk about is that In The Unlikely Event isn’t as abrasive and screamy as our other albums,” guitarist/vocalist Thomas Erak acknowledges. “We’re always going to have those elements in our music, but at this point, we want to create songs that mean something to people for more than five minutes what about five years or five decades?”

The Fall Of Troy have prided themselves on the fact that they’re musical outsiders that don’t have any rigid rules when it comes to creating their art and the fact that they’ve been embraced on tours along-side everyone from Deftones to Coheed & Cambria is tangible proof of that.

The Fall of Troy will be joined by Long Islands Envy on the Coast and Scottish band Twin Atlantic. Envy on the Coasts new album Lowcountry is set to be released this spring, and Twin Atlantic is touring in support of their latest release Vivarium.
