Trustfall

Trustfall is a surprisingly seasoned band founded by 19
year old twin brothers Max (vocals, bass) and Spencer Ernst (vocals,
guitar) who have been writing songs since they were 5 years old and
have been performing live since the age of 11. In 2008, Greg Mallick
(drums) and Patrick Shine (guitar) joined the band. Hailing from
Washington DC, the quartet has built a name through numerous
performances at Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club, Virginia’s Jammin’ Java,
NYC’s Mercury Lounge, Baltimore’s Rams Head Live, and other elite
venues up and down the East Coast.

Trustfall signed a publishing deal in 2008 with Cherry Lane Music
(Elvis Presley, Black Eyed Peas, John Legend, Wolfmother, Quincy
Jones). Networks such as MTV and ESPN have used Trustfall’s
compositions, and their music was featured on the CBS TV series, Cane.
The band has a diverse recording history.

They have been in the studio with names such as Stacy Jones, (Plain
White T’s, American Hi-Fi, Veruca Salt), Chris Keup (Jason Mraz,
Lifehouse), Jon Kaplan (The Whigs, Sara Bareilles, Maroon 5), Jeff
Juliano, and David Connelly. Their new self-titled E.P. was released
nationally on April 28, 2009, and was mastered by Chris Gehringer
(NAS, Missy Elliott, Jason Mraz).

Trustfall is co-managed by Eddie Fam and Alan Stewart. Fam, owner of
IMPACT Marketing & Events, has managed SEV. As manager, he signed them
to a major record deal with Geffen Records which landed the band a
Pepsi Blue Commercial that aired during the MTV Awards. Stewart, from
Magus Entertainment, has managed Duran Duran, Ferry Corsten, and Emmet
Swimming.

The band is endorsed by Gibson guitars, Fender basses, and Mesa Boogie
amps. Additionally, the band is sponsored by DC based iKY Clothing,
which was nominated by VH1 as one of the “Top 3 Rock Gear” Companies
in 2007 and was the official clothing sponsor for the 2008 Oscars and
American Music Awards.

In the 2009/2010 season, Trustfall will be the youngest artists in
residence at the prestigious Strathmore Music Center in Maryland. Over
100 acts were invited to audition and only six were selected. Most of
the other musicians that have been selected are college graduates from
prominent schools of music from around the country.

Trustfall recently took the stage in front of 625 students at
Rockville High School in Maryland to promote teen responsibility as
part of the “Every 15 Minutes” program for Students Against
Destructive Decisions (SADD) where they featured their original
anti-drunk driving anthem “Drive Home.”

Washington DC's On Tap Magazine called Trustfall one of five "bands to
watch" at Dewey Beach Music Conference. With tour dates, special
appearances and film/TV work lined up for the band, the guys
definitely plan on living up to that.
