show at Lawrenceville, Georgia's punk haunt The Treehouse. After Neon Christ originally broke up, DuVall was briefly the second guitarist in the popular Northern California hardcore punk band Bl'ast, contributing a small bit of writing to their second album, It's in My Blood, released on the hardcore punk–alternative label SST Records, founded by Greg Ginn of hardcore punk band Black Flag. DuVall did not, however, stay with the band long enough to record on the album. In 1987, DuVall formed the Final Offering with vocalist Randy Gue (a former Neon Christ roadie), Corrosion of Conformity bassist Mike Dean, and drummer Greg Psomas. However, Psomas's heroin habit hindered them from working consistently. Dean would go back to work with Corrosion of Conformity; Psomas died of an overdose in 1994. DuVall spent the late 1980s with a Hendrix-inspired band, No Walls. Other members of this band were jazz bassist Hank Schroy and drummer Matthew Cowley. DuVall gave a demo tape to Living Colour lead guitarist Vernon Reid backstage at a show on their tour with The Rolling Stones in 1989. Subsequently, Reid brought No Walls into the Black Rock Coalition fold and helped arrange some shows for them in New York. They also recorded a demo at Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios in New York under Reid's mentorship. No Walls released one self-titled album in 1992 and disbanded the same year. In the late 1980s, DuVall earned a degree in philosophy with an emphasis on religion from Georgia State University. Madfly, Comes with the Fall, and Jerry Cantrell (1992–2007) In 1994, DuVall, along with Milton Davis, co-wrote the song "I Know" for fellow Atlanta musician Dionne Farris. The track stayed on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for 38 weeks, peaking at No. 4 and earning Farris a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. DuVall won an ASCAP Pop Music Award for it in 1996. In the late 1990s, DuVall founded the band Madfly with Nico Constantine, Bevan Davies, and Jeffery Blount. He served as guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Their efforts included two albums: Get the Silver and White Hot in the Black. The former was released on Killing Floor Recordings and the latter through Blackheart Records. In 1999, DuVall, Bevan, and Nico moved on to form Comes With The Fall, adding Adam Stanger as their bassist. CWTF released their first album, Comes with the Fall, in 2000, and
