History

Formation (2008–2010)

Further information: Escape the Fate

In 2006, lead singer Ronnie Radke was involved in an altercation in Las Vegas that resulted in the fatal shooting of 18 year-old Michael Cook. While Radke did not shoot Cook, he was indicted on battery charges. These charges, combined with Radke's past troubles with narcotics and rehab, led to a sentence of five years probation. He failed to report to his parole officer and was arrested in June 2008, where he was sentenced to two years in prison.[1][2] At the time, Radke was the lead singer of post-hardcore band Escape the Fate, which had released its debut album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, in 2006. Following Radke's incarceration, Escape the Fate kicked him out of the band and replaced him with former Blessthefall singer Craig Mabbitt.[3] Max Green, bassist of Escape the Fate, stated about Radke's law problems that, "First we couldn't tour out of the country, then out of the state." Radke was released on December 12, 2010.

Radke discussed his relationship with Escape the Fate members since his departure from the band, stating that they have tried to reconcile with Radke but he was uninterested in getting back on friendly terms with them after they kicked him out and lied about Radke getting caught with heroin inside prison. Radke stated in an interview, "They make a whole album called This War Is Ours, and then they try to say, 'We didn’t name that album after you, dude.' Which in fact, they did. I could be wrong; they could be talking about the war on terrorism or something. I don’t know. But I just have a feeling that record name was about me. They talk a lot of shit. It is always about forgive and forget, but there’s some things that I would like to say. So I did. On the record."[4]

During his time in prison, Radke formed Falling In Reverse and officially began creating media with the band upon his release. The original lineup consisted of Radke and bassist Nason Schoeffler, who helped find guitarist Jacky Vincent and rhythm guitarist Derek Jones. The band went through several drummers including former LoveHateHero member Scott Gee[5] and friends of the band before finding former I Am Ghost,[1] Aiden ,[6] and The Bigger Lights drummer Ryan Seaman.[7] Schoeffler quit the band in April 2011[8] and was replaced by Mika Horiuchi, formerly of the band Cellador.[9]

The Drug in Me Is You and record deal (2010–Present)

In December 2010, the band began recording for the first time. They announced on December 20 that they would go to Orlando, Florida to record a full-length debut album over a period of two months with a tentative release date of the first quarter of 2011. The band also confirmed that Radke's friend, Michael Baskette, who has worked on Blessthefall's album Witness and Radke on Escape the Fate's debut Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, would produce the album.[10] It was soon confirmed that the band was signed with Epitaph Records, Radke's former label with Escape the Fate, and would be releasing their debut album in 2011.[11] The album was soon titled "The Drug in Me Is You" and was slated for a July 26, 2011 release date, with pre-orders beginning on June 7.[6] The eleven song tracklist was released soon after. With the help of Executive Producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, mixing and tracking for the album concluded on April 2, 2011.[12] The album spawned the single's "Raised by Wolves"[13][14][15] and "The Drug in Me Is You".[16][17][18] The band's first music video was released for "The Drug in Me Is You" on June 28, 2011,[17][19] and was advertised by The New York Post the week before the album's release.[20] The album was streamed in its entirety by the band on their official website on July 15.[21] The Drug in Me Is You was released in the United States on July 26, 2011[22][23] to mostly mixed reviews,[24][25][26] but managed to sell 18,000 copies in its first week in the US charting at number 19 on the Billboard 200.[27][28] A third single single, "I'm Not a Vampire", was released a few months after the album's release on October 24 with an accompanying music video featuring Jeffree Star which features a satirical Celebrity Rehab theme.[29]

The songs for the debut album were all written by Radke during his imprisonment. Radke said that, "I would think all day, for days and days, [about] what people would want to hear. I would dissect my old album and read all the fan letters and the reasons why they loved my band and why they listened to it. And I wrote about that, but in different ways. I don’t know why these kids love the tragedies that I write about. I guess they can relate to it."[4]

To promote the album, the band announced the dates for their first live performances, which would take place at the end of July following their debut album's release at certain locations in California, with one date scheduled in Texas on September 24, 2011. These shows were planned to be with supporting act Vampires Everywhere.[30] However, the July dates were postponed due to issues with guitarist Jacky Vincent's immigration visa, though the band voiced intentions to make these dates up.[31] This meant that the band's first live performances would be at the Vans Warped Tour 2011 from August 10 to August 14 for five shows on the Kia Kevin Says Stage throughout the western United States.[30] However, the band played a few secret shows under the name "Goodbye Graceful" on August eighth and ninth in Anaheim and Los Angeles.[32] Following the release of the album and some Warped Tour 2011 appearances, the band announced their first headlining tour across the United States, with locations beginning in New Mexico, looping around the east coast, and concluding in Colorado. The tour took place from September to October 2011 with support acts Eyes Set to Kill and For All Those Sleeping.[33][34] The band's first supporting tour will be a ten-show tour in November 2011 with headliners Black Veil Brides and supporting acts Aiden and Drive-A.[35]

Musical style and lyrics

Falling In Reverse's music is primarily classified as post-hardcore, while occasionally including pop punk and metalcore influences. The group's debut album has been labeled post-hardcore and pop punk for its emphasis on pop-oriented choruses. Screamed vocals are a feature found in many of the album's tracks. This is a continuation of the genres formerly explored by lead singer Ronnie Radke during his duration with the post-hardcore band Escape the Fate, which combined metal and pop in many songs. Radke commented that, "in the same songs it sounds like Norma Jean or Underoath with Katy Perry choruses."[36] Lyrically, according to Radke, some of the band's have tones of being, "arrogant, [it’s something] like rappers do mostly." This is because Radke has cited Eminem as one of his major influences,[37] so much so that he even included a beat made by Eminem and Dr. Dre during a breakdown on the track "Sink or Swim".[36]

The lyrical content of the band's music is inspired mainly by vocalist Radke's personal experiences, which include his mother, the corruption of Las Vegas, and his incarceration/release from prison due to multiple run-ins with the law involving narcotics and battery charges related to the death of Michael Cook. No songs by the band to date concern love because Radke stated that, "...I'm not going to lie ... and try to write songs on how much I love somebody. I do have love, but there will be a lot of songs about just what I’ve been through."[38] Several songs focused on his departure from Escape the Fate after they kicked him out and replaced him with former Blessthefall singer Craig Mabbitt,[3] with songs by the band that directly attacked both Mabbitt and Escape the Fate bassist Max Green,[38] even mocking the latter's entrance into rehab in 2010.[39]
