Pop punk 5-piece band Falling Faster consist of Elliot Radford (vocals), Luke Pedley (guitar/vocals), Lewis Radford (guitar), Shaun Robinson (drums) and Michael ‘Stanny’ Stanier (bass) originating from the Midlands.
Their latest single ‘That Girl’s Got Whoremoans’ has received plenty of attention since its release roughly three months ago. The track is also accompanied by the band’s first official music video which you can check out on their youtube channel.
The song itself follows a very generic pop punk sound possessing clear positive influences towards such bands as YouMeAtSix, All Time Low and Kids In Glass Houses. Furthermore, the chorus strikes an uncanny resemblance to Simple Plan’s ‘Shut Up’, verging on plagiarism.
A stereotypical teenage pop punk rant about a girl is illustrated by the lyrics, claiming that she isn’t all that, and is nothing but a vindictive liar and con-artist.
The video demonstrates the enthusiasm of the band, although this is a trait clearly lost on drummer, Shaun. As for the vocals, they are very good on the whole, but lack strength and power in places. There is undeniable potential, and with one or two tweaks here and there, Falling Faster could become a force to be reckoned with.
FF will begin recording for their debut album in the near future as a follow up to the EP, The Getaway.
