Past_members =Falling Forward was one of the forerunners in the mid-nineties development of
post-hardcore , or emo in theUnited States . However, unlike the emo music of today, Falling Forward took the elements of the early pioneers such asRites of Spring , and expanded on them with their own ideas, resulting in something that is at times punk, at times reminiscent of hardcore. What we have here is the soft/loud juxtapose, the thrashy, powerful, yet melodic guitar playing, and the gut wrenching honesty sung in both quiet whispers and aggravated screaming.Some members went on to form the band Elliott.
