Please read the sentence below:
"Most of the bands we've heard recently have fell short of our expectation"
Would you please tell me the meaning of ''fell short of..''
Thanks in advance.

Sentence rewriting: So surprising, the answer according to my teacher is... • Sentence rewriting: We have made neither a profit nor a loss this year. • I don't quite understand this sentence: Maybe for professionals and hard-core... • The use of "trust you to...' • The use of 'nothing short of it' • Editing of a paragraph required • The use of the comma • A noun required (metal plate/strip) • each day vs first day vs from the time • Mistake finding: Swimming is a good sport for our health • create vs build vs make • Need clarification: Past perfect is used to indicated the sequence of past events • pronunciation of 'either'
