Dwayne Scott

Dwayne has always been a huge music fan. He started playing drums, bass, and guitar at about 12 yrs of age. Now, 23 years later, he is the guitarist and a founding member of Falling Manic. Dwayne has never gone the route of cover music…well maybe just once for a week at age 17 for about 3 jams…but we won’t talk about that! Dwayne started taking bass guitar seriously in his teens, adopting it from his older brother whose bands inspired him as he was growing up. In 1992 Dwayne landed the bass player role in a band that went on to be quite popular and even made it to much music, but that effort collapsed due to controversy between the singer and guitarist. Never one to give up, Dwayne went on to play in a few different acts and settled on the role of lead vocalist in The Dow Jones Index in 1997. Not quite satisfied with that situation, the day came when Dwayne, jamming with some musicians in Newcastle, was approached by a vocalist who had noticed Dwayne’s fantastic guitar talent and songwriting ability.  Formed in March of 1999, FacePlant was the original band, making their first album FacePlant, but after replacing the drummer  the band was once again set back by the departure of the vocalist  leaving just Dwayne Scott on lead guitar and Patrick Bolahood on bass guitar and the new drummer. Shortly there-after, the drummer quit as well. Due to trade mark issues with the name FacePlant, They changed the name to Falling Manic. Along the way they have endured many lineup changes going through numerous drummers and vocalists. Now with his current members Pat, Darryl and Steve, Dwayne and Falling Manic are intent on making a solid, firm and unforgettable music impression on those that take the time to listen.
