Windfall is a metal band, based in Cork, Ireland which began its life in 2002, when it compiled of just 3 members; Sean Norris on rhythm guitar, Stephen Desmond on lead guitar and Tony McGinty on bass. Like all young bands, the group was originally just a hobby, but as the songs began to gel, something a little more serious started to evolve.

In 2003 the group found two vital ingredients for any band - a drummer (Jason Donahue) in October and a vocalist (Sinead Collins) in December. The group continued like this for some time, but things just didn't seem to click.

In 2004, James Cronin joined as the new bassist to take over from Tony who subsequently left(on good terms). Finally, everything was running smoothly again, and James brought a new quality to the group. Two weeks into its new life, Windfall entered its first Battle of the Bands competition and won.

However, something still wasn't quite right, and after a few months, Sinead left the band. Now singer-less, Windfall was back to square one.

In late 2004, the group listened to the "Fuse 2004" c.d. in hopes of finding a new singer and, oddly enough, found what they were looking for.

On January the 1st 2005, the new vocalist (Siofra FitzGerald) joined. A friend of the guys (Dan Corbett) started to jam with the band on occassion and even started to help writing some new songs. Things were good.

Content set in and the new Windfall played their first Blast gig in Gorey. After a great response they continued to practice diligently in anticipation of a Cork Blast gig, and hopefully, a much larger crowd. They played a few more local gig with Dan as the drummer - initially just for convenience - but as the months went on it became apparent that Dan brought the group in the direction they were searching for. It was a tough decision, but in 2005, Dan became the permanent drummer of Windfall.
Thankfully, Jason is still a great friend of the band.

The current Windfall has existed since late 2005, and hopefully, will continue to grow musically. We're keeping it metal...
What could possibly go wrong?

You say you have a vocalist....but I don't hear any singing on any of your songs...it might just be my speakers or something crap like that.

But yeah, great sound.
