History

Upon their release of Rise From The Ashes, the band quickly gained steam by DIY (do it yourself) touring full time and creating their own merch, street teams, and running their own shows. In 2005 they began working on the first Full Length album, Covered in Scars.

FFG is best known for winning said Fuse TV's reality show Bodog Music Battle of the Bands, and winning that $1mm dollar recording contract with Bodog Music.^{[citation needed]} FFG beat out over 7,000 bands in the end, the top ten of which they toured with for the prize. Those 10 bands included Boston's "Fear Nuttin' Band", Miami's "Big Bang Radio", Dallas's "Ashmore", Houston's "Subversa", Atlanta's "The Mood", Minneapolis's "Leroy Smokes", Los Angeles's "Blaxmyth", Phoenix's "Idle Red", San Francisco's "Strifer", and Philadelphia's "Burn Down All Stars".

The band released their first major label album, Sifting Through the Wreckage, in 2009, and toured with Alesana, Protest the Hero, CKY, and Graveyard to support the album. The album includes the singles "Burned", "Hated Youth", "King of Lies" and "Pictures on the Wall".

On November 5, 2012, Fall From Grace announced their split after their final tour.
