• Featuring members of The Lawrence Arms, Alkaline Trio, and Rise Against •

What would an Ornithologist say about The Falcon? Well, they would be filed under the “Punk Supergroup” classification for starters. Territory: first spotted in the Midwest, although they’ve since propagated throughout the Americas, as all the members now nest in different time zones. They’d be known as an extremely rare specimen that migrates from one shitty bar to the next, wetting their beaks and ruffling feathers. Not quite extinct, but they only spread their wings every few years. They’re like the Bigfoot of the skies and they’ve emerged once again to deliver the 12-song album, Gather Up The Chaps.

When members of The Lawrence Arms, Alkaline Trio, and Rise Against got together back in 2004 to make music in the name of fun, no one knew it would be THAT much fun or that their side project would be received so well. After a lot of laughs and several thousands of copies later, their 5-song debut EP (dubbed God Don’t Make No Trash -or- Up Your Ass With Broken Glass) was such a hit with the kids that it prompted the guys to crack some more brews and work on an entire album. That’s when their debut full-length was hatched: 2006’s Unicornography. 11 songs of singalong punk and Clash-esque ska. That record is important to us because it’s the all-time bestselling Red Scare release. Thanks, guys! *high five* Falcon?! More like golden goose!
