The Fall Latest News

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Bitches - Can Not Love
Hear this, lo-fi fraternity! When Bitches get angry they want you to know why. No home recording hiss. No towel-covered anonymity. No, er, Auto-Tune. The root of their angst? They "Can Not Love". With royal-riffed, robo-rocking chops like this, it’s not desirable that that situation changes any time soon. This track will arrive with two others on 7" in February. Sounds...
He is not appreciated
Anyone got a collection of Hardy novels on their shelf they’ve been meaning to read? Actually, I’ve read a good few Hardy novels, and morbidly rewarding experiences they are too. I do have a stack of Fall CDs cluttering up Media Monkey, though, and I feel the time is right…

The Fall MP3s

The Fall - Berlin, 12th February 2010
  If you, like me are getting a bit impatient waiting for the new Fall album this should take your mind off things for a while. It has to be said that this is one of the best Fall recordings I’ve ever heard and some credit must go to Hanno the taper who has done a first rate job but what a performance from the band. You can almost feel the energy seeping through you headphones (if...
Download: The Fall - The Junction, Cambridge, 31st March 2009
Well you can’t have too much of a good thing and this was the gig I really wanted to hear in any case. The sound on this is much better than the Koko gig further down this page and I think the band are sounding tremendous at the moment. The next chance to catch up with them will (hopefully) be at the end of the month when they participate in the Camden Crawl. Can’t wait for a new...
Wetdog
Post-Pumpkin Wetdog will be touring the UK in early October with The Slits and together they make a fine pair, blending old-style jams with new unpretentious concrete punk. They’re another noisy post-punk band but fuck it, their music rules. The band formed about four years ago in London and has been turning a few industry heads with their droney, antagonistic, guitar-driven punk....

The Fall Reviews

The Fall - Leeds, O2 Academy, 2nd October 2009
It seems like far too long since we last engaged in some Smith worship so let’s put that to rights. I was actually supposed to be going to this gig but as luck would have it found myself in Peterborough on that day so it was impossible. That sort of thing always seems to happen when The Fall visit my neck of the woods. They played in my home town of York last year on the only day for...
The Fall - Koko, 1st April 2009
The Fall on April Fools Day, marvellous. Not that I’m saying M.E.S. is a fool but he must have looked rather comical beetling around the stage in his wheelchair like Chorlton & The Wheelies (due to his broken hip). I just wish I could have been there. Still I guess this is the next best thing. Not the best recording in the world, slightly on the quiet side but decent never the less...
The Fall
Venue: The Ritz, Manchester Teaser: Gary Corrin reviews The Fall live in Manchester. I’m pretty sure this is the first review on the site that makes mention of Terry Nutkins… Pull quote 2: The Fall are clearly still at the cutting edge of their game after three decades First para: The Manchester International Festival is kicking off, and after seeing...
The Fall - Manchester Academy 1, 18th July 2009
I’m getting more and more excited about the new Fall album by thye day. The new songs seem to sound better with every gig. Songs like "Cowboy George, Bury & Funnel Of Love have already become live favorites and this gig gave a storming debut to "Sloppy Floor" which is simply magnificent. This will be the last Fall gig until October by which time the new album will...
My Teenage Stride + Pow Wow! | Cameo | 4.02.2009
It’s hard to tell how serious My Teenage Stride are as a band. Some of their songs seem like attempts at mimicing other bands (The Wedding Present, The Chills) and main man (and MTS’s only constant) Jedediah Smith is prone towards jokey stage banter, like introducing themselves as other bands in between every song. ("Thank you! We’re Megadeth.") I guess it doesn...
