WE ARE THE FALL Podcast

Live from Manchester, the lads sit down with The Fall's most frequent producer, and no doubt, one of our favorites, Mr. Grant Showbiz. In celebration of 50 years of The Fall, this first-ever live interrogation was recorded on stage at Band on The Wall for the Futures and Pasts festival. We could not have asked for better company as the sold out crowd of 5,000 Fall fans were definitely not wrong. Cheers mates!

Flipping to Side B, Imperial Wax Solvent digs in even deeper, groovier, stranger, and full of those sideways turns The Fall make feel effortless. The rhythms tighten, the textures thicken, and Smith’s voice cuts through it all with that unmistakable mix of command and chaos. We unpack the back half’s hidden gems and off-kilter hooks, tracing how this album cements itself as a late-career high point.

Bonus episode: For this off-the-cuff interrogation, we get a phone call from the national/international treasure known as Funky Si. Recorded before the release of the latest House of All album, we apologize for the sketchy audio, but it's a worthy listen for the stories and the personality that contains one of our favorite drummers of all time!

Steve Albini left this planet 2 years ago, and we recorded an episode (back in 2024; unreleased) covering his last release with Shellac, as well as The Fall's influence on his own music. He may or may not have been in collusion with Virgin trains, but enjoy this mini side-journey!
