Praise The Fallen: Rebuilding, Resilience & Rock That Hits Deeper

In an era where rock bands can feel mass-produced and overly polished, Praise The Fallen (PTF) stands apart. Hailing from Indiana, this band brings something back to the stage that’s been missing—heart, history, and hard-earned perspective.

On the latest episode of The PATH Radio Spotlight, frontman Jammie Bosstell pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build something real in today’s music world—and why he’s never given up.

“We All Bleed Red”: From Roots to Riffs

Before he was fronting PTF, Jammie was a kid in Chesterton, Indiana playing trumpet in the school band. From military service in California to jamming in storage units alongside soon-to-be-famous acts like Deftones and Cake, his journey was far from linear.

“I didn’t plan on even having a band,” Jammie reflects. “I just liked playing drums… and I ended up being a singer by accident.”

That “accident” has evolved into a career marked by near-breakthroughs, band shakeups, personal loss—and relentless perseverance. His story isn’t about instant success. It’s about rebuilding. Over and over again.

Fuelling the Fire: From Signal to PTF

Bosstel’s early band Signal saw success—opening for acts like Hinder, Three Days Grace, and even doing a run with The Cult. But behind the scenes, there was tension. Jammie wrote a hit the band didn’t want to play.

“The way I solved it was by starting a new band,” he says. That band became Praise The Fallen, a project born from frustration, but driven by passion.

One pivotal moment came when MTV’s Lillian Axe guitarist John Stir happened to see Jammie perform his “discarded” songs at an open jam. “He heard me and said, ‘We’re going to start a band. These songs are too good,’” Jammie recalls.

Praise the Broken, Not the Perfect

Despite the heavy name, Praise The Fallen isn’t about despair—it’s about redemption. The concept is personal for Jammie, who grew up in a violent home and used music as his escape.

“There’s a lot of broken people out there,” he says. “We can either spit in their face or praise them—and help them rise. That’s what the name means to me.”

In the interview, Jammie opens up about heartbreak, bullying, and tragedy—including the loss of loved ones to cancer, car accidents, and violence—all of which inform the themes of PTF’s music.

Songs with a Purpose: Low, Bait & Beyond

PTF’s latest single “Bait” isn’t just a riff-heavy anthem—it’s a stand against manipulation and self-doubt. “Don’t let them bait you on,” Jammie urges. “They want to distract you, take your joy. That’s what toxic people do.”

He brings that same raw honesty to Low, a track and animated video that explores emotional manipulation and bullying. “There’s a lot of backstabbing in the local scene,” he admits. “I just wanted to call it out—but creatively.”

The Song Is King: PTF’s Collaborative Power

Today’s Praise The Fallen lineup features Andy Kavanaugh, Randy Davis, and Kenneth Jones Jr.—a group Jammie describes not just as bandmates, but brothers.

“Andy’s a shredder. He wrote the music for ‘Bait.’ I don’t have to write every riff. The song is king—that’s what matters.”

The chemistry shows. With home studios and open collaboration, the band is writing constantly while still performing across the Midwest.

“We’re never not writing,” Jammie says. “We’ve got new music coming and a new video for Sleepwalker in the works too.”

Not Chasing Fame—Chasing Meaning

Although Jammie once dreamed of tours and record deals, today his focus has shifted. He runs multiple projects—including Bostell, Arson Radio, and the UK-based studio collaboration Entwined—all with one goal: to create music that connects.

“I’ve had fans tell me, ‘Man, your songs got me through.’ That’s the win right there,” Jammie says. “The Rockstar dream? That’s not what it’s about anymore. I just want to use my gift to give back.”

This isn’t just an interview about a band—it’s a candid conversation about life, loss, growth, and grit. Whether you’re an artist yourself or just a fan of music with meaning, Jammie’s story will hit home.
