I love skillet and alot of these other bands that are on this section of the music scene, but i couldnt help notice no one mentions fallingup. Not spamming or anything but seemings how this is the music section you guys should check them out. They are really good maybe my fav. band right now. There single is on the top of all the charts right now check em out www.fallingupcrashings.com.

good stuff. now ill go post other stuff. just suprised thats all. What do you guys think their album came out today and I got it. Its absolutly amazing.
:) :o

wooohooo. not to be mean or anything, but i dont like them. They sound like what would happen if Linkin Park and Plus One got in a train wreck. I do want to hear that song with the dude from Demon Hunter on it tho...

exactly! all the reviews Ive read they have said that fallingup is totally original. Nobody sounds like them. Of course you can take influences but you have to name at least 4 bands to get them. It took me awhile to like em cause they were different. But thats cool if you dont like em. check out a review at www.melodic.net and find them in artists of the week. That review says it all.
God Bless.

Skillets new cd is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U aren't dissing this band are u, I love this band.

No, not dissing them, they just annoy me. i dont like his voice, its too girly. not that girl voices are bad, but guys who sound girly in a linkin park soundalike band? not good...

I LOVE Fallingup!! I totally listen to thier songs on their website over and over again, anyone wanna buy me the CD? lol. I heard of them on musichristian.net, I seen their CD was being released and I was like hmm... who is that? I think they rocketh. 8)

There awesome.........

There awesome.........


totally \m/ \m/ 8)

thats weird that you think he sounds like a girl?! I think he sounds intense.

No, not dissing them, they just annoy me. i dont like his voice, its too girly. not that girl voices are bad, but guys who sound girly in a linkin park soundalike band? not good...

lol. girl voices are generally annoying though. i can stand to listen to ben gate and that's about it.

They sound good, I like Brocken Heart.

No, not dissing them, they just annoy me. i dont like his voice, its too girly. not that girl voices are bad, but guys who sound girly in a linkin park soundalike band? not good...
They guy on Plus one sounds worse, but I stil, umm kinda like them, though I wouldn't buy one of there CDs, but Falling Up is cool.

i've only heard thier current single on air1. and i can't remember how it went right now. i remember thinking it was...ok...not horrible. but not my fav either. *shrugs* maybe it'll grow on me.

and yeah, i don't dig too many chick singer's either. simply because a lot [not all] don't experiment with their ranges. they stick to their chest voice to get that pop sound. which sounds good on some voices and not so good with others.

um yeah...so falling up...

They guy on Plus one sounds worse, but I stil, umm kinda like them, though I wouldn't buy one of there CDs, but Falling Up is cool.
I think he sounds exactly like the dude from P1. the first time i heard Broken Heart on air1 i thought it was something new from plus one (since they allegedly dumped the boy band sound).

Fallin Up is a great band, I know them. The other day, the 24th of February. I went to a little get together and hung out with the band as did other people. It was for their debut album Crashings. It was a lot of fun.

I think they're an AWESOME band. The more, the merrier, I say. I saw them on an advertisement w/ Kutless in the last CCM magazine, and I was curious to see how they sounded. I listened to Bittersweet and Broken Heartbeat, and I really liked their stuff. So I ordered their cd yesterday.

I know there are losts of christian artists we don't like (Plus One, Jump 5, *or who ever else), I know for one there's christian bands I think are really not that good. But still, I'm proud they're Christian, because maybe one of their songs say something to someone's heart that no Preacher or anyone else could say.

It's good to have different tastes in music. :)

i love falling up!!!
i heard broken heart on christianrock.net, and then i went to the falling up site to listen to the rest of their songs.
they don't get played on the radio in Australia, and the cd isn't released here either. so i ordered it from my local cd shop, coz i can't order stuff online, and i should be getting it in about a month!!
i can't wait!!

Falling up is a great band..even tho they message boards really needs to worked on! OH well. what can ya do! *shrugs*

yay!! i just got the falling up cd!! can't decide what my fav song is yet- they're all so good!!

*bump*

since there seems to be more interest in falling up, i'm bumping this so we don't have repeat threads. :)

I love Falling up. They rock my face off!!!
anyway i'm new.

yep. me too. its my favorite band right now and i want the falling up band picture to be on my site but it doesnt seem to work so i get sad. :T

I have to say, for still being in high skl (i think i heard that correctly), they have a LOT of talent...

has anyone seen there video clips? what are they like? coz i aint seen them yet :(

falling up is an ok band not my tast they try to sound like a chrisitianized linkin park .Is it just me or chrisitans just cant find thri own sound . they just copy and mimic everyone else


now ani difranco is mazing

they just are not my cup of tea thats all im stating now i do like beloved and norma jean hopesfall ani difranco taking back sunday , the hives , yellow card, olivia newton john , the sound of music , rent lenny kravitz jeremy camp oh brother where art though

Falling Up is awesome. They've got great lyrics, too.

who here goes to the falling up message board?
and what r your usernames there?
(i'm still sezza there)

i post there...im chattychick8188 over there. some of those people scare me tho lol

I used to go on their messge boards.. but its soo unkept. :P

i know...they scare me over there lol

i love falling up, and i went to their concert when they performed with kutless, and fmstatic, and tfk...they rock, and i havent listened to them in like a week...must go do so now!

from what i've listened to of the CD so far, it's pretty good, but they absolutely ROCKETH live. :afro: that was sooo much fun yesterday.... :D

theyre awesome live!

Ooooh...I know who they are NOW! I'm so behind with the times in Christian rock-your-socks-off music (except for Skillet, of course), and I just saw one of falling up's videos (though I can't say for which song) the other day...I did really like the way they sounded... :)

Hey, how good are falling up! I've onnly really heard the songs on their website. DOes anyone know what the rest of the album's like? They sound awesome!

They're like a heavier version of earthsuit. Anyone know earthsuit?? Well now, they're Math and Macrosick.. but yeah

oops, I just started a new thread about falling up.....

I just listened to the songs on their website, and I must say that they sound absolutely nothing like Earthsuit. In fact, they sound like generic pop/rock with keyboards. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it sounds nothing like Earthsuit.

oops, I just started a new thread about falling up.....
this is a good time then to remind people (or let them know) about the search feature on the site. on each section of the board (Music Buzz, In the Frying Pan...) there is a Search feature on the top right, above where it lists the number of replies, views and who posted last. :) click, type, search. easy. and it prevents you from starting a thread that already exists. ;)

Do they scream?

Um...I've only heard like one song by 'em, and I can't exactly remember if they screamed of not, I just know that I liked the way they sound!

Ah yes...I believe I've heard of the band Falling Up. In fact...I think we booked them! why yes indeed. We did! They're playing with Pillar/Project86/Subseven. How nifty.

neat-o keen ;D

I didn't even hear about them till 8/2, when I bought a copyu of X2004 on DVD and saw the Broken Heart vid. I just got their CD today, and I love it. But Skillet's far superior.

God bless, Alien Soul.

I'm listening to them on RadioY. Broken Heart. Great Song. All I have for now.

Falling up is a great band...love their song "Symmetry" (sorry, cant spell right now...

there cd is really good....i cant wait till they come out with a new cd

Ah yes...I believe I've heard of the band Falling Up. In fact...I think we booked them! why yes indeed. We did! They're playing with Pillar/Project86/Subseven. How nifty.
Yes, they are coming yet again to GR, Mi. on that tour. [with Pillar] not sure if I'll go. I might just to get out of the house. It's been to long since I've been to a show.

I need help! If anyone who's on the Falling Up boards reads this and writes songs, please post them on "Songs written by poeple falling up".

God bless, Wiggy

Falling up is a great band...love their song "Symmetry" (sorry, cant spell right now...
That's how you spell it. And I like that song a lot as well. :)

They totally rock out, they're amazing one of the biggest bands of christian rock I ever listened to.

Falling Up's pretty neat. I might get their CD "Crashings" in the future.

falling up kicks butt! i saw them in concert and they're awesome. josh is an EXCELLENT drummer!

yeah...i'm just wondering what makes falling up so great...i listened to their cd and it kind of bored me, so i'm just wondering if maybe there's something i'm missing about them? i dunno...then again i don't really like a whole lot of things...

Rapcore is't my thing either. But..we are all different.

falling up ROCKS! ;D i saw them back in november when they were on the wdwgfh tour w/ pillar. i have their cd. my fav. song is prolly either Divinity or Places 8)

looks like the boys are working on a new CD....
Currently, Falling Up is finishing up a brand new track that will be featured on the upcoming X-2005 disc. The album will also include songs from TFK, Pillar, Toby Mac, Relient K, Seventh Day Slumber, Hawk Nelson, Switchfoot, KJ-52 and more and is scheduled for release on March 29th, 2005. Taking advantage of some down time this past Christmas, the boys have already begun writing for their sophomore record. The band will re-enter the studio with famed producer Aaron Sprinkle in April. No doubt, Sprinkle will contribute the artistic innovation that helped make Crashings such a smash. This spring they will join the upcoming X-2005 Tour, which kicks off February 16 and runs until March 20th and will also feature labelmates Hawk Nelson, Seventh Day Slumber, and KJ-52. You can catch them currently on their first headlining run called “The Little Green Tour” with openers Subseven.

^^ thanks! i wouldn't have seen that otherwise!

NICE!!! you all GOT to listen to this, Falling Up's new stuff, its here :
http://www.xthealbum.com/
and like, you have to click on the band, and click "listen to artist" or wahtever, and that new stuff ROCKS!!!

ive heard of them they sing that song broken heart which is pretty kool.

falling up rocks. crashings is one of my favorite cds

Falling up is definitely a great band. I bought their CD a while back and i thought it was like maybe a couple ppl in their band or sumthing but then i was looking at the cover and I was like members just kept popping out of everywhere! I can't believe how many ppl they have in their band! But, apparently it works for them considering how great the CD turned out.

I can't wait to see these guys again! :) Jessy is really awesome (the lead singer), and he seems to be screaming more and more each time i see them. Perhaps show # 9 will be even better? We'll see. Cant wait for the new CD to come out. :P Its too long of a wait!

Ya, I heard there was gonna be more screaming in the next album.(And I don't mind ONE bit)

It seems as Jessy is growing out his hair out...rather intersting. Their video is no. one at/on Steelroots TV.

Falling Up is really good. I LOVE their new song 'Exit Calypsan' from the X2005 cd. It is AMAZING!!

hey i have a question! on the album cover one of the (gazillion) members is wearing this t-shirt that says "Art is" and then the last half is blocked by someone's shoulder. Does anyone have any idea what the end of it says?? It boggles my mind every time i look at it!

falling up rocks!

i was wondering the same thing about the "art is.." tee shirt. i have no idea...

Falling Up is really good. I LOVE their new song 'Exit Calypsan' from the X2005 cd. It is AMAZING!!
lol, thats like, the ONE big reason I want the CD, lol. ill buy it for that, lol.

The CD is really good. My favorite is Bittersweet and Jackson 5.

i didn't know that they had any new songs out yet until i read this thread.. lol, i'm such a great fan. now i can't find x2005 at any non-christian stores. poop.

I didn't know either. I guess I'll have to go find X2005 then so I can listen to the new stuff, since everyone says it's so great. :D

bittersweet rocks

Yeah I saw falling up and subseven open for Pillar in buffalo, then when I went to Arizona I saw subseven and spoken open for falling up. I love spoken.

Hey, does anyone like Falling Up, they're (of course) a christian rock band that rocks, alot like Skillet here. If you do say so. I'm also wanting to see if anyone knows where I could download some of their music free (w/out signing up). Thanks.

GO PANTHERS, They rock!!!

I liked their first CD a lot. And their single, "In My Dreams" Thier second... not so much...

Ohhh...big fan here! I looove their music! I have their last c.d and there newest...awesome music =)

They're sweet. I love the new cd, except it's got way too much on the keyboard type stuff. Anywho, they're great. but, i've no idea where to download the music

*bump* Look what I found!

aww.. i like all the keyboard stuff... it gives the lead singer something to do... :-)

I love skillet and alot of these other bands that are on this section of the music scene, but i couldnt help notice no one mentions fallingup.

actually i think everyone has heard falling up...hehe...they are pretty cool though

yah I know of falling up..I like there song broken Heart (i think thats the name )

does anyone here besides me like falling up?:)

They're good :)

Don't we already have a thread for Falling Up? They suck anyway.

I LOVE Falling Up.. Crashings is AMAZING.. great band. great cd. lotza greatness right there. ;)

yay! i'm not the only one who likes falling up! :) searchlights would have to be my favorite song from their last cd... the cashier at our local Christian store recommended them to me and i've loved them ever since! :D

Don't we already have a thread for Falling Up? They suck anyway.

That was a good reply...What makes them suck?

Imagine the silence racing the timeless
We are the ones called
Holding defences
Guiding the blind to exit the lights
Your shadows have come
Following this
But we have the push it comes from the ocean
Started with this
To follow the darkness
Suffer the most and surface the motion
Now do you understand?


That would have to be my fav song from the last cd.. ;D

Crashings is a better CD in my opinion cause its not all digitalized like Dawn Escapes but thats just me. Dont get me wrong thought Dawn RAWKS

Totally, Marathons is a sweet song.

Really? I think it's more piano than anything.

I just seen them last night .. I liked them too.
Nice guys, took pics and done signatures.
I'll post pics soon
Leslie

I heard they're awesome live. I'd love to see them in concert. :D

Do I really need to say anymore? Their sound is just digested and regurgitated from other, better bands. The lyrics quoted in this thread are totally non-sensical; just a bunch of abstract statements with no theme to tie them together. I take it back, some of those statements aren't absract; abstractions have meaning behind them.

That's almost as odd as TFK lyrics.

Falling Up is my decond favorite band of all time. I love how for all of their songs in the lyric booklet, they put a verse of what the message is behind it. They are amazing. <3

Seen them at Ichthus this past June. They opened with Arafax Deep. It has been my favorite song since.

"Falling Up:We wanted to make Crashings, as well as our next cd, something that has a little bit of a mystery to it. We didn't want to give ourselves away so fast. We want listeners to use there head. On all of the songs there is a key subject that is the dominant idea of the song. But within each there is a lot of other sub groups that connect to other songs and also connect the song to the whole idea of the album in general. We just wanted our cd to be something people can find something new in every time they listen to it and read the lyrics."

Perhaps you should dig a little deeper instead of basing your attack on a part of one song. Notice how and entire song is written from a small verse. Without even using the same words. Look into how their songs tie in with the album art (for Dawn Escapes that is). Just because you don't see the meaning behind it right away doesnt mean it's uncreative. That's what mystery is for.

Who's attacking what? I'm giving my opinion. You asked why I said they suck, I answered. It's not my fault if you don't like my answer.

I didn't say it was "uncreative"; I said it was a bunch of random abstractions with no meaning behind them. Bring all the band quotes you want, call it mysterious, that's not gonna change my mind. The only thing you're going to convince me of is that they are trying very hard to be deep and philosophical when they aren't. I happen to love good abstract lyrics, which those aren't.

And for the record, there are THREE other threads about Falling Up.

i guess i missed them. Sorry :)

i could only find two (there were two others, but they were locked before they could get off the ground, due to being duplicates. No, i don't know why they were locked instead of merged.), so if you can direct me to the third, i'll stick that one in here as well.

And Kari, you can search for threads using the Search feature on the upper right corner of the boards. :)

Anyone heard their new song "To This Ice Cave"?. It's a redo of "Exit Calypson (Only In My Dreams)" but it's pretty neat. There's a lot of new synths.

Oh yeah it's on their myspace.

Anyone heard it yet?
I think it's amazing. Just hearing it. How much Jessy's voice has matured. From Escalates to Moonlit to the new song Islander. I love it.

I wanna get it so bad. Song list, please?

Yeah sure.

1. Islander
2. Exit Calypsan (Into The Ica Cave)
3. Escalates (Aceramic)
4. Broken Heart (Ghosts Of Seaside)
5. Circlewinds
6. Moonlit (Neon Predator) ft. Sol Glo Activator
7. Bittersweet (A Jedi Force)
8. Thirdlake
9. Searchlights (Indoor Soccer)
10. Fearless (250 and Dark Stars) ft. Trevor McNevan and Troma
11. Contact (Complexus)
12. Exhibition (Epoison) ft. Rachel Lampa
13. Cascades (From In The Forest Cascadia)

thanx. that's awsome. Can't wait to get it.

I ordered it through Musichristian.com the other day and I love it so much. They did a really good job with all the songs. My absolute favorite song is Fearless (250 and Dark Stars). It's AMAZING! The piano in the beginning is beautiful and his voice along with it is so smooth and graceful. I wish they had just left the song with him and the piano instead of adding the part with that girl (Troma) and the guy from TFK. Oh well. It's still a really awesome song.

So I really enjoyed the cd. However, if you've never heard Falling Up before, I'd suggest checking out "Dawn Escapes" to really hear Falling Up. This remix is just a nice one to add to the collection.

The new album is pretty great from what I have heard from their purevolume.

http://www.purevolume.com/fallingup

Got the album yesterday, Okay for a remix cd.
I think the song "Fearless" (205 And Dark Stars) Is a beautiful song . . untill the female vocalist comes in. . .
When she leaves It's beautiful again. :P
If she wasn't in it it might be my favorite Falling Up song.

Fearless is good. It's almost got a Backstreet Boys tone to it. Nothin wrong with that though.

I really like Exhibition with Rachel Lampa. Her voice is beautiful in that song.

Can someone explain to me how that song passed inspection like that? I mean, it's so unpleasing to the ear. It's just such an... unsmooth transistion when the girl starts singing. Sheesh.

"Train Wreck"

:P
Like I said if she wasn't in it might be my fav by them.
It would have been so much better if Jesse kept singing.

I really like Exhibition with Rachel Lampa. Her voice is beautiful in that song.I don't have the cd yet, but I heard the Exhibition remix and like it a lot also.

"unsmooth transistion" perfectly describes it. I don't mind having other people sing like Trevor and that rapper you can faintly hear. But her voice just doesnt match at all.

All I've heard so far is Moonlit and Exhibition. It's alright I guess, but I'm not big on remixes. Sadly, the only remix album I've ever really enjoyed was Linkin Park's, and I don't like them anymore.
