The Fall
Out of all the late-'70s punk and post-punk bands, none were longer lived or more prolific than the Fall. Throughout their career, the band underwent a myriad lineup changes, but at the center of it all was vocalist Mark E. Smith. With his snarling, nearly incomprehensible vocals and consuming bitter cynicism, Smith became a cult legend in indie and alternative rock. Over the course of their career, the Fall went through a number of shifts in musical style, yet the foundation of their sound was a near-cacophonous, amelodic jagged jumble of guitars, sing-sp...[more]

There is an obvious buzz and resurgence of interest surrounding The Fall. Much of this can be traced to Mark E. Smith's own enthusiasm about the Narnack release of "The Real New Fall LP," the strongest Fall album in years. For "The Real New Fall LP," Mark took control of the sound, direction, and texture of the album. Officially released in the UK last year on Action Records, Mark wasn't satisfied with the overall sound. For this Narnack release, he wanted to strip it down and decided to remaster the entire [ read more ]

RESTOCK. Forget all those semi-official live albums and reissues, this is THE actual-official-real-McCoy new album that has full backing and promotion from the man himself: Mark E. Smith. The album consists of nine tracks recorded live in the U.S.of A. on their last tour, plus three new studio tracks. The quality is excellent, and the second the album kicks in with Smith yelling "word up word up," it's The Fall at top speed, storming, first class, in your face, mad ranting and raving. The album captures The [ read more ]

Take a step back to the boiling summer of 2006. The Fall had just successfully completed three out of sixteen US tour dates when suddenly, controversy struck. As Mark E. Smith and keyboardist/wife Eleni Poulou slept soundly in their Phoenix hotel, the band's guitarists and drummer hopped on an international flight back to the UK in an angry huff. It's still uncertain what happened in the desert that May, but whatever it was, it helped take The Fall in a refreshing new direction. Smith and Poulou decided to [ read more ]

Shift-Work, The Fall's second album for Fontana, is an edgy, accomplished and melodic work.

Extricate marked a surprising moment in The Fall's lengthy history - they had signed to a major record label. Despite taking the corporate dollar, they remained true to their own vision and passion to produce a crunching, commercial album that was their most focused since the seminal This Nation's Saving Grace.
