Artist History Hailing from Fresno CA, Five Stories Falling was formed in the summer of 2001 under the alias The Late John Doe. Their music has been compared to such groups as; Green Day, Nirvana, Third Eye Blind, and Ben Folds Five. Together with their inspiring mix of intimately written originals and crowd pleasing covers, Five Stories Falling has earned notoriety with industry professionals and club owners alike. This increasing respect has allowed the band countless opportunities to obtain an awesome array of loyal fans who sell out almost every show they play. The band’s lineup consists of Ryan Ray (lead vocals/guitars), Ryan George (bass/vocals/keys), and Dallas Stoeckel (drums/vocals). In June 2002, Five Stories Falling went into Cobalt Recording Studios in Fresno CA to emerge with their debut 12-song full length album entitled “Good Enough” as The Late John Doe. This accomplishment, so early in the band’s career, has lead to many promotional opportunities and high exposure events. These experiences, along with those to come, have assured each of the members that the path the have chosen is the right one and plan to take it as far as possible. In August 2002, through a contact provided by Apoxy Records, Five Stories Falling was selected to perform with Unwritten Law, Tommy Lee, and others at New Rock 104’s Birthday Bash, a one-day event in Fresno CA. They have since been contacted by various promoters and labels for several compilation invites and gig trades. Currently, Five Stories Falling is briskly booking as many shows as possible and steadily writing new material to return to the studio by June 2003. The band is hoping to utilize their creative energy and intense ambition to eventually turn this musical endeavor into an experience only a select few are fortunate to enjoy, and they are ready to do whatever it takes to make this dream happen.
