While on a plane from
Ontario toNew Jersey , 17-year-old Bowman was skimming through aTom Clancy novel when she came upon the term amphibious assault. Bowman thought this would be a great name for an industrial band.Soon after, Bowman went on to record several tracks with
Pigface for the band's 2003 album, "Easy Listening". Her enjoyment of the recording experience led her to begin writing music again. She purchased a sequencer and began exploring theindustrial music genre that she admired but had never actively pursued. In the months that followed, Bowman's basement became filled withdrum machine s andsynthesizer s. From her basement, she wrote the songs that made up Amphibious Assault's debut album, "District Six", released on the Social Unrest label. Bowman's formerKittie bandmate, bassistTalena Atfield , has also contributed to Amphibious Assault as has guitarist Pete Henderson.Amphibious Assault's second album was completed and originally scheduled for a June, and later, an August, 2005 release. The release was postponed, both times, largely due to Bowman's school schedule. Her scheduled live shows with
Pigface were also affected by her school schedule. OnJanuary 10 ,2007 , Bowman announced, on the Amphibious Assault website, that the second album, "On Better Days and Sin-Eating ", was now available to purchase. The album was limited to 500 physical copies but was also made available via digital download. She also confirmed that this album would be the last release under the Amphibious Assault name and that a new project, with a different sound, is expected in the future.elected Fallon Bowman discography
