Yet there is one way where we at Getintothis can step into our musical wormhole and travel back through space and time and that’s with our hotly contested and vehemently debated Top 100 Albums of the Yearpicks as well as our lovingly created monthly Album Club choices. Make things better or different once we’ve had a bit of time to ponder. There aren’t too many instances where we can nip back in time and reverse decisions we’ve made or choices we’ve picked. We’ve all done it and although Mr Sinatra may have had too few regrets to mention, there’s not many of us who haven’t got long lists of them. How often in life, do we look back and say to ourselves “If only we’d…” or “I shouldn’t have had that one more drink”, or “Why on earth did I say that? What was I thinking of?” Hindsight, it is said, is a wonderful thing. Guitarist Derek Jones died on Aphe was 35 years old.With 2017 becoming a distant memory Getintothis’ writers travel back in time and pick a selection of the best albums that slipped through our net.
Their fourth long-player, Coming Home, was released in the spring of 2017. They toured for much of the year, parting with longtime guitarist Jacky Vincent that October, and continuing promotion with his replacement Christian Thompson.
Keeping Fashionably Late's experiments with hip-hop on the sidelines, Just Like You saw the band returning to a heavier and more scream-centric focus. The band's third studio long-player, Just Like You (Epitaph), arrived in early 2015 and fared better with critics. Ficarro parted ways with the band once the tour concluded, his slot filled by Escape the Fate's Max Green (who ended up leaving the band after just five months, replaced by Zakk Sandler). In early 2014, Falling in Reverse hit the road again, this time with Radke's former band, Escape the Fate, on the Bury the Hatchet tour. The band kicked off a tour in support of the effort, which was cut short by the birth of Radke's son. The album fared well on the charts, but received little support from critics. Released in mid-2013, the album saw the band adding hip-hop and electronic elements to their original post-hardcore sound. That year, Radke and the new lineup returned to the studio to record their sophomore release, Fashionably Late. Horiuchi left the band and was replaced by Ron Ficarro in early 2012.
After serving two-and-a-half years of a four-year sentence, Radke was released in late 2010, and the band set to work on their debut, bringing their driving, melodic sound to life in 2011 with the release of The Drug in Me Is You. While imprisoned, Radke recruited guitarists Derek Jones and Jacky Vincent, drummer Ryan Seaman, and bassist Mika Horiuchi to help him realize the musical vision he was creating in his head while behind bars, meeting with his bandmates during visiting hours and spending the rest of his time writing. The band was formed by Radke while he was serving time in Nevada's High Desert State Prison for a 2008 parole violation. Fronted by former Escape the Fate frontman Ronnie Radke, Falling in Reverse is a post-hardcore band based out of Nevada.
