The Fall

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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]

 

 

Working across four decades, The Fall have become a venerated musical institution. Remaining musically far left of center as possible whilst simultaneously enjoying the luxury of wide-scale critical adulation, the band have released over twenty-seven studio albums, and double that in collections. In leader - and only band constant - Mark Edward Smith ruling the group with his particular R.O.D. of iron, the band have lost none of their sneering charm and continue to both delight and repel in equal measure.

The definitive Fall anthology, this 39-track double CD spans the illustrious career of one of rock music's most important bands. Of all the late-'70s punk and post-punk bands, none are longer lived or more prolific than The Fall. Throughout their career, the band underwent a myriad of lineup changes, but at the center of it all is vocalist Mark E. Smith. With his caustic, acerbic wit and inimitable vocal style, Smith has become a cult legend in alternative rock circles. This double-CD set is the ultimate co   [ read 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 ]

BRAND NEW studio full-length record from legendary rock band The Fall! Fall Heads Roll gives us 14 crankers including the hit single, "I Can Hear the Grass Grow" filled with garage-pop hooks and another strong hit with the dub reggae filled "Ride Away." Intoxicating to say the least.

VINYL FORMAT. As stubbornly maverick as ever, the Fall's tenth album hinges on their now-accustomed dissonance, into which a tighter, commercial edge was introduced. New guitarist Brix Smith, wife of leader Mark E., added a partly melodious sheen that brought an air of 60s subculture to the group's post-industrial rattle. Nothing was sacrificed in the process and while "Bombast" hurtles with a vicious power, talismen Can were acknowledged in "I Am Damo Suzuki," the name of the German band's Japan-born singe   [ 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 ]

"Kicking off with the thrilling bite of 'Pay Your Rates,' on Grotesque, the Fall really started hitting its stride, with Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon now a devastatingly effective combination, somehow managing to sound exactly placed between random sloppiness and perfect precision.

VINYL FORMAT. "The first of what would be a veritable flock of live albums, some legit and some hovering on the edge of it, Totale's Turns, with the same lineup as Dragnet, found the Fall in a hilariously aggressive mood, as the statement of purpose 'Intro' demonstrates. 'The difference between you and us is that we have brains!' proclaims Smith, and from there it's off into their version of rock and roll hell.
