Biography

Two childhood friends from Bristol spent time in 2001 cycling around Berlin, listening to Iggy Pop and David Bowie on shared headphones as they searched for the legendary Hansa studios (where Bowie and Pop incidentally recorded). That's all it took to inspire the friends, vocalist Joe Winter and guitarist/vocalist Guy Connelly, to start a band upon their return home to England -- well, that and other cited influences like the Associates, the Beatles, Talking Heads, and Scott Walker. Not ones to waste time, they quickly enlisted the rest of what would become the Fallout Trust: Winter's siblings Matt and Jess (lead guitar/piano and violin/keyboards, respectively) and friends Gavin Ellis (bass/vocals) and Matt Watson (drums/programming). The sextet converted an East London subterranean warehouse in the image of Hansa as their space for living, writing, and recording. Affectionately termed Q Quarters, the spot is also home to the group's art/film partners Duckeye (who make the band's videos) and a bimonthly club night that the band throws for the East London party crowd. It was at one of these soirées that the band's music impressed At Large Recordings, and the Fallout Trust inked a deal with the label in 2004. Two limited-edition EPs were issued in 2005, along with the singles "Washout" and "Before the Light Goes," all to critical acclaim. They self-recorded their debut album at Q Quarters, and In Case of the Flood was released in 2006 on EMI. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

History

The Fallout Trust were formed around the crux of old school friends Guy Connelly and Joe Winter, inspired by a visit to Berlin and the music of Iggy Pop and David Bowie. The band was augmented by Winter's sibling, Matt and sister-in-law Jess, and bassist Gavin Ellis and drummer Matt Watson. The band then moved to London, setting up home at 'Q Quarters', a warehouse which served as home, party venue and recording studio. In 2004 they were signed by At Large Recordings. They toured in support of Maxïmo Park, Morning Runner and Leaves, in addition to several headline tours, and performed at Glastonbury twice in the Guardian tent.

Two EPs were released, in 2004 and 2005. First single proper was 'When We Are Gone' which reached #73 in the UK upon its first release in June 2005.^[1] Second single 'Before the Light Goes' reached #93 in November 2005. The album In Case of the Flood was released in 2006, with coinciding single 'Washout' peaking at #75. Nearly all of the band members are originally from Bristol and they are closely associated with venue the Louisiana.

The Corrections

During their performance at the Louisiana on 6 October 2007, Joe announced that the band would be changing their name to The Corrections. The Corrections have been reborn as a 5-piece, with the same lineup as The Fallout Trust minus Jess Winter and are touring currently. 2008 singles 'Barcode', 'OCD' and 'Full Stop' precede their debut album, 'Repeat After Me', originally set for release on July 7, was released in late 2008 release on limited Cd release and itunes.

The band maintained a tight link with artist/filmmaker 'Duckeye' who created much of their artwork and promo videos.
