Back in July, we got a taste of new music from Billy Sheehan‘s latest project, The Fell. Now, the band’s debut is here.

The Killswitch EP collects five songs from the quartet, which also features vocalist Toby Rand, drummer Nick Chiarore, and guitarist Mike Krompass. Their mixture of hard-rocking riffs and anthemic choruses makes for catchy songs.

“We have waited many years to share this Art with you, the band wrote on Facebook. “Full-length record will be out in 2026. We will have signed copies available end of November. Massive thanks to everyone who helped put this together.”

The Fell dropped a new studio performance video for the opening track, “Trippin’,” to celebrate the release. Known for his work with Mr. Big, Talas, and David Lee Roth, Sheehan brings decades of virtuoso playing to The Fell. His snarling tone gives the band an extra edge, and he lights it up during some unison riffing with Krompass at the 1:56 mark.

The Killswitch EP is streaming now on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more. CD and LP versions will be shipping in November via the band’s webstore.

The Killswitch EP Track List:

  1. Trippin’
  2. KILLSWITCH
  3. Footprints
  4. Face Out
  5. Dancing on a Glass Floor
