Hello there everyone. It's been a month or two since the last post so I thought I'd get my arse in gear and get something on here in the form of an update.
We've been busy writing away at our studio for a couple of months now and I think we're very nearly there with the new album. There are a couple of loose ends to tie up but to make it more official, we've booked 5 days in the studio from 15th - 19th April! The new album will most probably be 10 songs (...more if we're suddenly very prolific in the coming month) and is tentatively titled "Standing on the Precipice".
We did find time in the last month to venture out to Leamington Spa and 'test' these new songs in a live environment. I think it was the first set we've done in a long time where no songs from "Interlopers" were included. A milestone I think! All songs felt great to play and got a fantastic response from the very friendly Leamington types so we personally can't wait to hear them recorded.
Speak soon!
The Fall, The Rise (TFTR) are a Birmingham, UK based 4-piece rock band. They consist of Martin, Steve, Richard and Simon. We like big riffs, cool Time signatures and catchy music. Think bands like Kerbdog, Cable, 90's Revolution Records bands with pop sensibilities and a healthy dose of metal.

New Year, New Album
Hi everyone and a Happy New Year to you all. Hopefully you've all overindulged over Christmas and had plenty of top prezzies from Santa. I know I did.
We had our first practice on Sunday after a week or two's break and it sounded good. We've got the majority of a new album written now and the new ideas are still coming fast. We've taken a look at a local studio we're going to be recording the album in so it's just a matter of time now. We're aiming for mid-March I think. Exciting!
In other news we've booked a gig in Royal Leamington Spa on 5th Feb at the Robins Well. Come down and say hello. We'd love to see your face.

September Update
Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd post a small update so you know what we've been doing with ourselves. At the moment we're locked away in our little studio writing songs for our next album. It's going very well and we have 5 completed songs (2 of which you can hear on our myspace www.myspace.com/thefalltherise) plus 1 more on the verge of completion. They are sounding amazing if I do say so :-) Very different to the songs on Interlopers in places as well.
We're aiming to get another 6 or 7 songs done before we go and record them so we'll keep you posted with progress.
In other news, we're playing at The Public in West Bromwich on 2nd October so come down and say hello if you're in the area. You'll get to hear most of these new songs as well!

What a night!
Last night we put on a show ourselves at the Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham and I think I can speak for us all when I say we had a great time!
We were lucky enough to share the stage with our old 'gig buddies' The Killerest Expression. It was great to see them play again and I'm hoping we get to do many more shows with them. Top band.
Thanks to all those who came down and made the night a success and we'll hopefully do another around Christmas time. In the meantime, we're booking all the gigs we can at the moment so keep an eye on our Myspace page for updates. If you're a promoter and can help us out, get in touch.
We should have some photos online from the evenings fun so keep an eye out for those too!
See you soon!
