Dude York is an indie rock band known for their energetic and catchy tunes. With influences ranging from power pop to grunge, they have created a unique sound that sets them apart from other artists in the genre. Their music is characterized by driving guitar riffs, infectious melodies, and introspective lyrics.

Similar to *Summer Cannibals*, *Cayetana*, and *Charly Bliss*, Dude York's music captures the raw emotions of youth while still maintaining a sense of fun and playfulness. Fans of bands like *Diet Cig* and *Remember Sports* will also appreciate Dude York's high-energy performances and relatable lyrics.

With their debut album "Sincerely" receiving critical acclaim, Dude York has quickly gained a dedicated fan base. They continue to tour extensively, sharing stages with notable acts such as *Great Grandpa*, *Bully*, and *Chastity Belt*. If you're looking for a fresh take on indie rock with an edge, look no further than Dude York.

Recorded at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco with producer Patrick Brown, Falling finds Dude York sounding bigger and more fully-realized than ever with hits that would feel perfectly at home sandwiched between Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind in early 2000s alt-rock radio rotation, while somehow still sounding utterly their own. Peter Richards (guitar) and England (bass) share equal songwriting and lead vocal duties on this record, a significant change from their previous album, 2017’s Sincerely, on which England fronted only two songs. The duality of their songwriting and vocals compliment each other emotionally and sonically, with Andrew Hall’s harmonies and driving drums providing their own unique character in each song. The collaboration is clear—each part is carefully crafted, with Richards’ guitar adding texture to the verses and then soaring into the particularly special kind of guitar solos that make you want to sing along.

The production on Falling is full of meticulous details and sonic tricks designed to hit that deep teenage place in your heart, whether it’s the dense, chugging guitars or impeccably-placed harmonies. “We all have very different reference points for music and then when we swap them in becomes something totally different,” says Richards. He didn’t grow up as attached to the radio-friendly emo music that defined the adolescence of the rest of the band, but when he got into the genre in the past few years decided he wanted to embrace it in his songwriting, which comes across in the heavy guitars and dramatic arrangements that shine.

Ultimately, the relationship Dude York is really investigating and playing around with is their relationship to music. By playing with tropes of romantic relationships, Dude York created a record that feels like a love letter to the alternative radio of yesteryear while managing to stay uniquely singular.
