About

While serving over half a four-year sentence in a Nevada prison, singer Ronnie Radke put together the songs that comprise the post-hardcore band Falling In Reverse’s 2011 debut album. Having previously fronted Escape the Fate, Radke was well versed in song-crafting. While imprisoned, he enlisted band members who would meet with Radke during visiting hours to pull the songs from his head. Shortly after his release they recorded <i>The Drug In Me Is You</i>. “Raised By Wolves” opens with equal parts pop-punk and melodic post-hardcore. Heavy guitars accompany a thunderous rhythm section over which Radke’s inner demons go head-to-head in the form of a smooth voiced singer and a throat-grating screamer. “Tragic Magic” plays like an intimate recounting of his trials and tribulations. A burning sense of post-adolescent urgency makes the album’s title-track an obvious standout before “The Westerner” ends on an autobiographical confession.
