    • "One of downtown's most intelligent, anarchic new additions"
    - David Cote, Best of 2006, Time Out New York

    So here's the deal.
    We made a concept punk band.
    The Rising Fallen.
    With guitar steel and drum-tense electro-dense lyrics.
    And mythological legendary failures.
    And tall tales of fateful, prodigious gigs on Scandinavian oil rigs.
    And then we unwittingly begat our own brand of rousing idolatry.
    And it is good.

    PRESS forThe Fall and Rise of the Rising Fallen,

  • David Cote @ Time Out New York gave us four stars!

  • Helen Shaw wrote this about us in the NY SUN!!

  • Flavorpill thought this..." brutally scathing, brilliant satire that sends up conventional thought about irony, sincerity, contemporary theatre, and society norms, while kicking up buckets of piss and vinegar throughout."

  • "Fists With Your Toes" said this:
    "The Fall and Rise of the Rising Fallen is basically a transcendent masterpiece unlikely to be rivaled in significance by any future generations."
