[edit] 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 Maximo 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 Out' 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.

During their performance at the Louisiana on 6th 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' and 'OCD' precede their debut album, 'Repeat After Me', set for release on July 7th.

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