Falling in Reverse is an American rock band formed in 2008. The guys without unnecessary creative searches immediately achieved good success. During the existence of the team, its composition has changed several times. This did not prevent the group from making quality music, while remaining in demand.
The background of the appearance of the Falling in Reverse team
Falling in Reverse was founded by Ronnie Joseph Radke. This happened in 2008. Having already managed to gain fame, the artist was expelled from the Escape the Fate group. The reason for this turn of events was Radke's problems with the law. Back in 2006, Ronnie found himself in the thick of things, for which he had to answer in court. The artist participated in a quarrel, which resulted in the murder of an 18-year-old boy.
Ronnie was indirectly involved in this atrocity, but the court recognized him as an accomplice in the crime. An aggravating circumstance was Radke's addiction to drugs. As a result, the artist was sentenced to 2008 years in prison in 2.
Escape the Fate decided to find a replacement for him. The main reason was not the fact of problems with the law or the absence of a vocalist, but restrictions on tour. The group with the convict Radke in the composition at first could not travel outside the state, and then it turned out that it was impossible to violate state borders.
The beginning of activities in captivity
In 2008, Ronnie Radke was taken into custody by a court order. Despite serving his sentence, the artist was not going to interrupt his creative activity. In captivity, he assembled a new musical group. The band was called From Behind These Walls.
The activity of the new group began in 2010, when Ronnie Radke, founder and leader, was released. With the release of creativity to a wide audience, the team had to be renamed. The original name violated copyrights, and the participants did not want to officially resolve the situation. This is how Falling In Reverse was born. At first, the composition of the team often changed. This did not prevent Radke from moving in the intended direction of development.
Release of the band's debut album Falling In Reverse
Having embarked on active work, Ronnie Radke confidently set about preparing his debut album. It took almost a year to develop the material. Before the beginning of 2011, it was announced the intention of the musicians to go to the city of Orlando, Florida. Here the guys rented a studio to record their first album "The Drug in Me Is You". This work lasted about 2 months. Ronnie Radke called his old friend Michael Baskette as the producer of the debut brainchild.
Having prepared the material, the band signed a contract with Epitaph Records. Ronnie Radke collaborated with them while in Escape the Fate. By the end of the first month of summer, the group released their first video, and a month later they published their debut album. Already in the first week of sales, 18 thousand copies were sold. At the end of the year, this disc took the 19th position in the Billboard 200. After the release of the first album, the group again underwent a global line-up change.
Release of the second album "Fashionably Late"
After the release of the debut album, all the forces of the group were directed to promotion. The team actively toured, participated in various thematic events. By the end of 2012, it was decided to come to grips with studio work again.
Falling In Reverse started recording their second album. Initially, the release of the release was scheduled for early 2013, but the disc went on sale only in the summer. In an interview, Ronnie Radke stated that work on the album had long been completed, but the band decided to tour first and then release the record on sale. In the summer of 2014, personnel changes again took place in the group. After that, the team worked out a big concert tour of the United States.
New album and another line-up change
Already in the summer of 2014, information appeared about the work of Foling in Reverse on the next album. The announcement of the new album was intended to be made at the beginning of 2015. At the end of 2014, the band released a single, and at the beginning of the next year, another one. The new album "Just Like You" was released at the end of winter. By autumn, the group again saw changes in the composition. After that, Falling In Reverse went on a big tour of America.
Fourth album and new personnel changes
In early 2016, Ronnie Radke announced the preparation of a new album. Already at the end of January, the group released a fresh video and only at the end of the year the next single of the group appeared. The fourth album "Coming Home" was released in the spring of 2017. After this event, according to tradition, personnel changes again took place in the group. By the end of the year, Falling In Reverse focused on touring. This time the concert geography was not limited to America. The group visited other countries
Falling In Reverse activities in the present
After the release of their fourth studio album, Falling In Reverse focused on live activities. Since 2018, several clips and singles have been released, but the guys have not announced new records. The group repeatedly went on tour around the country and abroad.
As before, changes are regularly noticeable in the composition of the team. Only leader Ronnie Radke remains a permanent member of Falling In Reverse. Currently, there are 4 musicians in the line-up. Over the years, 17 people left the team. The line-up also saw 6 temporary session members. In 2021, the group has several live shows in an online format, which is not a tribute to fashion, but a necessary measure.
