Posted
on November 18 2009
Possessed with an earth shaking heaviness and alarming "no frills" punk urgency, Belgium's Rise And Fall are the next chapter of true hardcore / punk greatness.
Rise And Fall sharpened their teeth with their debut album, "Hellmouth" in 2004 and not long after shed members only to evolve into a revamped, recharged musical monster. After months of gruelling work with the new line-up, Rise And Fall released their "Into Oblivion" album in 2005 (Deathwish) to be praised by aggressive music connoisseurs worldwide, propelling Rise And Fall to the forefront of the hardcore community.
In the last few years, Rise And Fall have been tirelessly touring the world over. Sharing stages worldwide with Converge, Integrity, Coliseum, Ceremony, Have Heart, Shipwreck a.d., and many more of the hardcore community's leading artists.
Four years since the release of "Into Oblivion", Rise And Fall have now completed their circle. On October 27th, Rise And Fall released their highly anticipated new album "Our Circle Is Vicious" on Deathwish / Stomp and this December will finish the year with their first visit to Australia where they will be joined by Perth's Blkout and Newcastle's The Hollow. Tickets on sale now.

We played an amazing festival called T in the Park in Scotland, which was a year and a half ago now, but that was really amazing in terms of being, by far, the biggest crowd we've played infront of, I think it was- we played in the dance tent, and it was the middle of the day, so it wasn't night time craziness, but they packed like 20,000 people into this tent, and it was totally round, it was just the best kind of crowd to be playing infront of, we were really suprised and weren't expecting to get such a big reception, particually in Scotland. We only really had played a handful of shows in Glasgow and hadn't really played anywhere else, so yeah, that's definitely up there.
Ideal Lineup? We kind of actually had this discussion when we first started playing together, before we even did any shows as Cut Copy, we made up these phoney band names and played a few shows at this pub, sort of on the wrong side of the tracks and a bit run down, you could ring up like the night before and get a gig the next day, so it wasn't really like, you know.. anything amazing. But we booked in, I think a couple of times under false names, just to make sure we could actually play our instruments and do everything before we actually put Cut Copy up on the stage, and I think in that year we sort of had this imaginary- it wasn't like a festival it was kind of the idea of billing this gig where it was us headlining with Sonic Youth, and then Daft Punk would be like the warm up DJs, and that was like our ultimate show, ever! And then we've actually played with Daft Punk at the end of last year so we just feel like we've maybe partly lived that dream a little bit, even though they obviously weren't the warm up DJs for us, but yeah, we've ticked off one of those things at least. All we've got to do now is play with Sonic Youth!
