History
In January 2004, Fabrizio Pan (Vocals, guitar), PierAndrea Palumbo (Bass, backing vocals) and Marco Ferro (Drums) were in their first year of high school in Turin. They wanted to play music like pop punk bands Blink-182, Sum 41 and New Found Glory. They formed a band called Ducks 33, and started to play live in Turin at band contests and schools. After a year of shows, they became more well-known, and decided to record their first demo. Andrea Fusini, an Italian producer, saw the band at a show in July 2005 and decided to produce an EP for them, Melody Fall EP. Guitarist Davide Pica was added to the lineup around the start of the recording process, and the band decided to change their name to Melody Fall. The EP wasn't released at first in Italy. European interest for the band arrived only after the release, and big selling of the EP in Japan with Radtone Records. Just two months later, the band signed with Wynona Records, and toured Italy, Europe and Japan.
In February 2007, the band released their debut album, Consider Us Gone. The album was sold in Europe and Japan. A European tour with The New Story followed. The band then signed a contract with Universal Music in late 2007.
In February 2008, the band released a new self-titled album, their first with the label Universal Music. It is also their first album where Fabrizio Pan sings in Italian. They played at the most important Festival of Italian Music, "58° Festival di Sanremo" with more than 10 million viewers. On 17 May 2008, the band released a split album with American pop punk band Better Luck Next Time called Hybrid. It was released on Radtone Music, and was only available in Japan. The band continued to tour. In 2010 the second full-length album called Into the Flesh hit the stores, with a new Label in Italy (Nunflower, distributed by Universal) and Japan (Radtone Music). Into the Flesh is Melody Fall's highest selling album. After Into the Flesh came a new European tour. In 2012, the band produced a new full-length album Virginal Notes. The album is a mix of metal, rapping, melodic and scream voice, rather than pop punk. In 2012, the band went on tour with Forever the Sickest Kids. After that, the band had a pause of 2 years. Marco left the band, but the band found a new drummer, Andrea Bessone. Right now, the band is working on a big return, a new album and a worldwide tour.[citation needed]
