The Fall was a British post-punk band formed in 1976. Led by the enigmatic Mark E. Smith, they were known for their unique sound and uncompromising approach to music. With over 30 studio albums and numerous lineup changes, The Fall remained influential throughout their career.
Combining elements of punk, rock, and experimental music, The Fall created a distinct sonic landscape that defied categorization. Their lyrics often touched on themes of social commentary and existentialism, delivered with Smith's distinctive snarling vocals.
Despite their underground status, The Fall garnered a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. Their impact can still be felt in the alternative music scene today. Explore their discography to discover the raw energy and artistic vision that made The Fall one of the most revered bands of their time.

again working with john leckie on production, the fall's third beggars album,'bend sinister', was a distinctly down affair - not that the fall were ever a shiny happy band, of course, but both music and lyrics seemed like a darker corner to dwell in. it's the fall's heart of darkness, a lurching, sometimes ludicrous, thunderous beast. 'dktr. faustus' has such an air of satanic doom whilst 'gross chapel - british grenadiers' is the sound of a hungover thunderstorm. this is an under rated fall album
