Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

For the vast majority of the time what is needed from music is the ability to knock the door of complacency down so far and fast that it splinters, fractures and disintegrates into sawdust. To take on the comfortable and undeservingly content is a right that many dare not venture into and yet, especially at this time of year when the ballot boxes of discontent are brought out with alarming military-like precision. Thankfully Manchester’s The Falling understand that to bring such things to the attention of music lover is their inalienable right.
