For the Fallen is a pure rock band based out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
For the Fallen first assembled in December of 2006. Guitarist Dylan
Young, bass guitarist Derek Cofer and drummer Joseph Cantrell were
experimenting a bit with a sound but lacked a vocalist and felt another
guitarist would add to the sound. Enter Corr and Roark. Creating the ultimate
birth of the original For the Fallen.
In June of 2008, Cofer and Roark departed from the band, leaving original
members Corr, Young and Cantrell. In September of 2008, the band added
current lead guitarist Nic Ysiano and then in February of 2009, the band landed bass guitarist Nate Adams.
While classified as rock, For the Fallen has a unique sound of their own.
A smooth, driving and consistent sound as well as meaningful lyrics are
all vital components that For the Fallen considers when writing music.
Tyler Corr is from Chickasha, Oklahoma and currently resides in Edmond, Oklahoma. He is well known for his strong voice and the pure energy he brings to the stage. Tyler contributes not only by voicing the lyrical content that FTF writes, but also by playing a role in writing the actual lyrics. He is a 2003 graduate of Chickasha High School.

from vocalist Tyler Corr's hometown of Chickasha, Oklahoma. Dylan currently resides in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Young plays guitar for the band and also supplies back-up vocals at shows. He also may perform some synth/keys from time to time. He also contributes by playing a major role in writing the actual lyrics and music that For the Fallen performs.

Marshall heads and cabinets. He uses a DigiTech foot pedal for live effects.

Joseph's interests include music, sports, YouTube browsing, movie-buffing, surfing the web, electronics, drums and many other things.
Nic Ysiano Born in California, Nic has lived in Arizona, Texas, and Missouri, and then finally after many years of life on the road, landed in
Oklahoma. Nic moved from Oklahoma City, OK to Shawnee where he
attended private school at Liberty Acadamy and graduated in 2004. Nic's
father (R.I.P.) was a musician, which explains all the time spent on the road
as well as Nic's passion and skillset for music. Nic started out playing
cello in elementry school, then picked up bass guitar in middle school.
Shortly thereafter, he picked up guitar and has been playing guitar ever since. Ysiano met vocalist Tyler Corr at work in Oklahoma City, OK. Nic not only performs the lead riffs for the band, he also plays a major role in the writing process. Nic enjoys meeting new people, spending time with close friends and family, and turning up the volume.
Nate Adams graduated from Stillwell High School in 2005. Nate now resides in Edmond, Oklahoma where he is a senior at the University of Central Oklahoma, majoring in Biology/Pre-Dental. Nate contributes to the band not only by playing bass but also by playing a role in the writing process. Adams has been playing the bass guitar since he was in the 8th grade. His musicianship doesn't stop there. He also dabbles around on the guitar, piano, as well as the ukulele. Nate's hobbies include hanging out with his girlfriend Vickie, watching the History Channel and AdultSwim, playing and writing music, turning up his Zune to 11, being with friends and fam, skimboarding, playing soccer, and cooking. A couple of interesting facts about Nate is he actually played bass guitar once with the great Dave Hope: bass player for the band "Kansas". Also, Mr. Adams once won a million dollars from a M&Ms bag in high school, but didn't know it and threw away the package but it was too late. Nate plays a '78 Fender Jazz Bass, Warwick Corvette, Schecter Stilleto Custom 4, and a Takamine A/E through a Line 6 Lowdown 300. He uses Electroharmonix Big Muff Pi, Line 6 FBV Shortboard, and a SansAmp Bass DI for digital effects.
