Falling Up is an American Christian rock band signed to BEC Recordings. The band's name is derived from the first song they wrote, which refers to how imperfect people are, but how sufficient the grace of God is to compensate for it. In harmony with their name, their lyrics are heavily grace-themed.
Falling Up describes their musical style as "pash rock" [1], which includes alternative metal instrumentation and power pop vocals, with other varying influences such as alternative rock and rapcore, comparable to Linkin Park and Incubus. Falling Up is often labeled pop punk. [2] [3]
They debuted on
February 24,
2004 with a 12-track album titled
Crashings. Produced by
Aaron Sprinkle (
Kutless,
Anberlin),
Crashings sold 3,396 units in its first week, which exceeded first-week sales by any other album in the history of BEC Recordings—incidentally, that record had been previously held by Kutless, who are friends of Falling Up from childhood.
Crashings sold over 50,000 units by the end of 2004. Three songs from
Crashings—"Broken Heart", "Escalates", and "Bittersweet"—all reached #1 on the Christian rock charts at
R&R.
Their second album, Dawn Escapes, was released on October 25, 2005 through BEC Recordings. Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Chevelle, Cold). the album, though more melodic and hard rock-driven as a whole, did not majorly deviate from the sound of Crashings. Dawn Escapes pushed Falling Up's lifetime record sales to over 150,000 by the summer of 2006; guitarist Tom Cox left the band shortly after the album's release.
On
September 12,
2006, Falling Up released
Exit Lights, an album featuring remixes of the band's biggest hits and the new song "Islander".
Solomon Olds of
Family Force 5, and
Thousand Foot Krutch's
Trevor McNevan were among the artists who worked with Falling Up for the project. Guitarist Joeseph Kisselburgh left the band in late 2006 to focus on his solo project,
The Send, which is scheduled to release its debut album on
Tooth & Nail Records in the spring of 2007.
