The Fall
|
In this day and age when almost every long-since-separated punk outfit has decided to cash in on a reunion tour, The Fall continue their perpetual run producing a sound they helped pioneer almost thirty years ago…authentic dance-punk.
Inspiring many indie-rock bands from the early 90’s through today, The Fall return with a new album and a new lesson in rock n roll. Fall Heads Roll is the latest studio full-length and second for Narnack following 2004’s The Real New Fall LP, an album that was dubbed by the masses as the best of The Fall’s work in the last ten years. Fall Heads Roll features fourteen tracks of intoxicating Fall splendor which pick up precisely where the last album left off while re-exploring classic Fall territory. Recorded in both New York City and London, England during the winter of 2005, this album promises to captivate early and brand new Fall fans alike. Some tracks are enchantingly dreary (Early Days of Channel Fuhrer), others laced-up with monumental garage-pop hooks effective enough to candy-coat a bruised liver specifically, I Can Hear the Grass Grow, the album’s first single, released September 6th, 2005.
Emerging from working-class Manchester, The Fall formed in 1976 after vocalist and incomparably acid-tongued lyricist Mark E. Smith decided he wanted a more personal vessel for his words, ideas and obsessions with literature. He found some like-minded compatriots and the first full-length, Live at the Witch Trials, soon followed. Many albums and many more band member changes later, Mark E. Smith has lead The Fall in becoming what many critics consider to be the most prolific band of the British Punk movement. With his philosophical word play, knowledge of appealing song structure and bitterly controversial personality, Mark E. Smith has managed to front a band with not only a cult following, but an impressive record of success on both the UK and US charts.
The band are without doubt Living Legends.

The Talk
|
This Charlotte, NC rock quartet was forged when the British pop train went south, jumped the tracks and ran headfirst into the punk train. Once the smoke cleared and you realized there were only a few casualties. . . what emerged unscathed was the most beautiful train wreck you can imagine — The Talk.
With two albums under their belt and a reputation for a raw live show, The Talk deliver a new album with massive choruses, prowling beats and lyrics that’ll set you ablaze.
“The Sinners of Daughters” has birthed songs that scorched radio, made it to the “best albums of the year” lists and went on to heat up soundtracks for televisions shows like “The OC” and “Wildfire” as well as films such as the comedy favorite “Waiting” and indie film “Dee Dee Rutherford”.
2006 has ten of The Talk’s songs being featured in a variety of shows on Fuel TV. So grab your skateboard, snowboard, BMX bike or whatever hazardous mode of transportation you choose, fire up “The Sinners of Daughters” and wait for the crash! Catch them at SXSW 2006!
