Given the members involved, I was really surprised there wasn’t more press or, well, any information at all about this band. In fact, I didn’t even know anything about this EP until a day or two before it was released. Anyways, for those who don’t know, The Falcon is a Chicago punk supergroup of sorts featuring Brendan Kelly from the Lawrence Arms on vocals and guitar, Neil Hennessey from the same band on drums, Dan Andriano from the Alkaline Trio on bass, and Todd Mohney formerly of Rise Against (for their best album) on guitar.

Although the recording is shit, I think it compliments this ep so much. Brendan's vocals sound the best on this release IMO. It's just so fucking raw. oops, i mean dan. the only reason i'm not giving this a perfect score is because i wish it was longer. Totally awesome EP. I personally love the production of the album... Brendans voice sounds fucking brutal (No, not metalcore style brutal, wankers) and raw on a couple of these songs. I love it. Sounds better than heavily produced Larry Arms stuff I think This is what punk was before the Mary Kate & Ashley set grew up and started being a major influence in music. If these guys keep playing this well, this could be the greatest punk band ever created. AMAZING for only 4 tracks. Its really good, but I want to see Dan and Brendan do dual vocals... that would be the shit. is it just a game to you? http://www.casino-los-angeles.com/doliyoli/casino-directory-2005. html i got this for $1 the other day at cd/game exchange and just got done listening to it. i guess it's about as dull as the bands these guys came from. Great Stuff, brings me back. can anyone send these MP3's to me? Just bought this from interpunk. Haven't taken it out of the disc player yet. Great EP. Sit down and read the lyrics a few times with it. im not gonna read this whole page. "Chinatown är en odräglig snorunge!" A perfect 10, a la Bo Derek. track 5 is amazing dude, your nuts. all the songs are good, but if you think track 5 isn't....you got problems. i'm impersonating somebody else your joking right? Three and four are the best one's. number 5 is the worst, well I love it but not as much as the others if you are gonnoa impersonate: Chinatown är en odräglig snorunge! anyone else notice that this ep gets better around the tenth listen? It did for me at least The Fidgets were Todds best band Does anyone have a penis for me to suck on? I pretend they're lollipops. I just got this in the mail with None More Black's new EP (which I'm going to give a perfect 10 to), and some of it sounds like what Brendan Kelly singing for Against Me would sound like. The rest of it sounds like The Lawrence Arms' more straight and to the point songs (On With the Show, Necrotism: Decanting The Insalubrious, Minute, etc.). As a huge Lawrence Arms fan, I'm more into the latter, but I wasn't really into the random "Woohoo's" and that weird buzzing sound in one of the tracks. Oh well. It's still great. I ate man ass with tarter sauce. "Todd Also has a band called the Killing Tree with Tiim from Rise Against singing. They are about a million times better than Rise Against" this shit is all pretty good except for track 4. anyone notice the wierd ass "hoo's" in song 2 like halfway through? what the deuce? Ten fuckin ten, ten, ten "Yeah, wtf is up with interpunk taking this long time now? Fuck santa, he's making my falcon ep come late. I used to get stuff within 4 days and i live in europe, now it's been 8 business days and still no punk rock." 'This site should change it's name to damnedifyoudo.org." "This should of arrived today. But it didn't. From the songs i've heard it sounds great." scoer's for the romance of helen trent Well, I can't entirely agree with this review. First off, his complaints about the lack of proper marketing seems awfully silly. All I ever read on this site is about how bands are over-hyped and not DIY. My understanding is that this band is that it's made up of friends and released by a friend. This site should change it's name to damnedifyoudo.org. I'm actually relieved that band members of this stature are still "keeping it real." And 12 minutes of music is more than enough for the 5 bucks this cost me...5 stars! i'll go so far to say that track 5 brought tears of joy to my eyes. the brenden 'whoa' going into the second verse is ...just right ya know. i don't know how else to say it. what a song.... Apathy was the best album of 2003 IMO Barkley. i think weve had this convo before. I listened to my lp of "apathy" tonight, top three albums of all time for me. "But does Dan sing?" To answer the reviewer's question, Brendan says they're doing a full-length for sure. But does Dan sing?? Chicago residents are so raw and punk that instead of going to restaurants, they just eat each other alive. Theres a reason why this album doesnt have the best sound quality. If you have ever heard older Larrty Arms, Alk3, Broadways, Tuesday, etc its the same. I don't think a raw sound is endemic to Chicago at all. I think it's part of the core of the whole punk/DIY/hardcore thing. I wouldn't make the lofty claim that Chicago (or any one city) holds some sort of monopoly on understanding the warmth and honesty that in the raw recordings can have. Todd Also has a band called the Killing Tree with Tiim from Rise Against singing. They are about a million times better than Rise Against. "...I think some people outside of Chicago have a hard time understanding this." "You live in the UK. How the fuck would you know?" Theres a reason why this album doesnt have the best sound quality. If you have ever heard older Larrty Arms, Alk3, Broadways, Tuesday, etc its the same. It isn't that much of a hassle to order from interpunk if you (like ME) live in Canada. I have ordered stuff from there a few times and haven't had any trouble.. except the one time I forgot to get my money order in US dollars... but they still sent me my stuff, and later e-mailed me, telling me I had sent the wrong currency, so I still owed them a couple bucks You live in the UK. How the fuck would you know? "is ordering off interpunk from canada a hassle?" is ordering off interpunk from canada a hassle? This should of arrived today. But it didn't. From the songs i've heard it sounds great. Tracks 1, 2, and 5 are so fuckin' awesome. |
