Facedown Records are beyond excited to officially announce the newest addition to their Family – Fallstar. Check out a brand new song / lyric video below which features guest vocals by Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire.
The band commented: “Today we are so happy to announce that we will be releasing a new full length album on Facedown Records! We love their mission as a label, they have supported us so much already, and we are excited for what is to come! The record is titled Backdraft and it will be released April 16. We tracked the record at Interlace Audio in Portland Oregon, with Kris Crummett. Thanks so much for all the support all these years and we hope you enjoy the new music! ”

From Portland, OR come Fallstar, an unrestrained group of artists and musicians who draw just as much inspiration from their local punk and hardcore scene as they do from their hometown in general. “Our city is known for its global perspective, sustainable living, care for the homeless, and having ideas that challenge long-standing traditions and beliefs. So we’ve developed this way of thinking that is energized by our doubts and ideas. We’re a west coast band, we’re relaxed and not afraid of new things.”
Fallstar love the mercurial atmosphere of a live show, and so write true to their genre with sing-alongs and crowd participation. The influences of hardcore and metal are there, but they aren’t restrictive. The band spends countless hours layering and composing their songs to achieve the balance they desire. “Our music isn’t incredibly technical, so there’s lots of room for swinging guitars, jumping off things, chipped teeth and stitches.”
Fallstar released a full length with Come&Live! in 2010, and we’re proud to announce their debut Facedown release Backdraft, due out April 16, recorded by engineer Kris Crummett [Alesana, Dance Gavin Dance, Sleeping with Sirens] at Interlace Audio.
