You’ve heard of head-banging, now get ready for spine-snapping. One Fall aren’t cushioning their new collection of red-hot riffs, so watch your back, lest the barreling force of their fast fretwork snaps you (and some vertebrae) into a 90-degree angle. The Salem band’s new EP Spine First! arrives today (October 20), their first royal decree since securing the crown at the 2023 Rock and Roll Rumble. But the five-track EP demonstrates that One Fall aren’t resting on their laurels, and instead proves to be a thorough pummeling of melodic punk, down to a rough ‘n’ tumble cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run.” The charming ruggedness of Spine First! is enough make listeners fall head over heels — if they weren’t so preoccupied with being blown away. Tune in below.
