""Break The Broken" Listener Reviews"

"This song is just a killer song, I have nothing but praise for this song, I can't think of anything bad for this song. This song is way better than the first song. And I thought the first song was going to be hard to beat, but you guys really pulled it off. I just love it. Keep making songs like this because then you guys will make it big in no time."

"Heartfelt... This has a very interesting and unique appraoch...it sounds like you guys can bring the muscle, but the verse is really reserved and haunting...this brings even more heaviness to your sound; it sounds like you guys have some good chops musically and really pay attention to dynamics and mood -not alot of bands do that; strong bridge and heartfelt track."

"This band plays really well together. The drummer is very solid. I liked his drumbeat the entire song. This song creates a good changing mood. "Can't break the broken" I really like that line. Good job guys."

""War Bride" Listener Reviews"

"A Hit" "Very powerful and sharp industrial track. Catchy melody, perfect vocals and cool drums. Solid 5 out of 5."
Reviewed by: magnu from Moscow, Russian Federation

"From a person who never listens to industrial I can say that your song got me open. It was just sonically superior to so much shit...so heavy and so raw."

"Fuck a fifteen word review... this can be summed up in two:
FUCKING HARD!
keep doin' what you do."

"This is really good! I would listen to this again...and again! I like the contrast with the more techno backround and the rougher voice! I love this!"
- BrpleVampiregrl from Tappan, New York on 31May2006

"I think these guys have potential!"

"Drums are powerful, vocals work very well, (both wet and dry), guitars are used tastfully to build strength but hold back enough to allow the other element through. This is a very professionally written and performed song. When do you play NYC?"

"Nice Drums... The guitars are screaming.. Causing earth quakes over there? You have tremors here.. Good job! Smooth vox. Although it is the guitars that steal the show... Regardless.. top down a winner...Good song!!!

"Immediately the ear picks up on the vocal effects, they are so tasteful here and it is especially striking because the song seems to be framework to feature the vocalist nearly exclusively. Thankfully it is a good creative decision because he has a strong charismatic voice that works well as a song feature. With song structure this good, ( nice woven verses into relevant sounding choruses ) I could see this gaining a massive fan base, it just has the potential to be appealing to such a wide range that so many people wish they had. The potential of this song is only limited by the quality of production it ultimately recieves, the arrangement is wonderfully set up, the performances are absolutely there. This song, groves, is fluid and above all else is just begging to be polished up. Nice work !"

"Super catchy! Wonderfully put-together piece of music. The intro sets up the song perfectly, and the other instruments seem to slide in smoothly as the song builds. The beat is wonderfully laid out-I love the sound of the snare and the way in which each measure leads into the upbeat. I like the fact that the chorus leans more towards a hard rock style-nice contrast to the very clearly industrial verses."

"Now this I really liked, just about every aspect of the song appealed to me. The drums which I couldn't work out if they were a mix of live and programmed (?)sounded excellent, the guitars were powerful and parts of it added an almost "Gothic" touch to the song (don't take that as an insult !) and I really liked the effected vocals. What more can I say, cool song"

"Awesome headbanging rhythm. The drums on this track really stand out. A huge guitar tone as well, works very good on this song. The vocals remind me of stone temple pilots early stuff...well done and in tune. The production seems a little quiet overall, but the levels are right...all the instruments are easily heard, and the vocals are clear, so that's good. That huge guitar tone would lend itself easily to a solo, and at only 3:32 long, you certainly had room for one. Overall this is a well written, well executed song. Great stuff!"

Discography

No Fallback Plan
Album:
“What Lies Beneath The Bottom”
Tracks:
“War Bride”
“War Bride” is a song that is very special to this band. It offers a mix of live and digital drums that are arranged in a very demanding way. The guitar riffs are very intriguing, thought out, and very well written. The song could stand on its own as an instrumental. But, behind all of that is an inspiring story…
I at one time had a very serious addiction to drugs. One night I had taken way too many and I overdosed and almost died. Well technically I did die, I was not breathing, and was put on life support for around 3 days. While in the hospital, most everyone I love was there, but missing were some real important people in my life. People who I love very much and have no intention of hurting here with this song, never came to see me, and really never has said much about it since. They pretend to understand me, and what all I have been through, at the same time making it all sound so simple, in their eyes at least. So this was my way of saying, you don't understand me, I sometimes wonder if you even know who I am, and your hurtful words that are forever locked in my mind may have been what I was trying so hard to escape in my life. The "war bride" is obviously a reference to drugs, and their illusion they give you of companionship.

I would also like to add I am now sober, and never plan to return to that part of my life. I would encourage anyone who thinks they are "different" and they just use, they are not addicted, to rethink that statement. Drugs can not be controlled, they do the controlling. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you, and odds are you will not be around to talk about it. Stay clean, and make music, it is a much better high than any drug can ever give to you. Peace

Album:
“What Lies Beneath The Bottom”
Tracks:
“Break The Broken”
This is a hard hitting, touching rock track with intricate guitar riffs, and memorable melodies. We believe it is one of our best to date. This song is about people in our lives who try to break, or cut us down. But, after you have been broken so many times, there is nothing more to be broken. So, their attempts at hurting you fails, and by going down to that level, they are the ones who really have fallen.

“What Lies Beneath The Bottom”
Tracks:
“Cruel May”
"Cruel May" is a dark, deep toned, angry song, with simple, yet effective guitar riffs, and a clear pissed off message. The song about someone in your life, who is around you everyday, but still doesn’t know you. They would like to believe they are apart of your “master plan,” but in reality they are nothing to you. They would like to believe they “pull the strings,” but that is fiction.

Bio

www.nofallbackplanet.com
The Official No Fallback Plan Website

No Fallback Plan could not be a better name for the band. The name describes them and their views perfectly. All their lives, the people closest to them would condescendingly tell them to "have a fallback plan for if you don't make it." Well to them, good advice it may be, it sounded like they should plan to fail. From that statement was born a drive to reply with absolution. No Fallback Plan will prove them all wrong, and shatter this cloud of doubt.

No Fallback Plan was founded in 1994 by the two original members, Westen Ferris and Devin Hord. With so many reasons to escape the chaos surrounding every aspect of their lives, they poured everything they had into what they saw as a way out. From the beginning there has been doubt, but No Fallback Plan never doubted themselves. The daily routine of being told their dream was unattainable only added more drive to their deep well of determination. With unbelievable commitment No Fallback Plan has, and will continue to prove everyone who doubted them wrong.

In 2006, No Fallback Plan, a band underestimated, was signed by Research Music Inc., the leading virtual record label in the world. By early 2007, their music will be available for download in stores such as iTunes, AOL, MTV/Urge, and hundreds more...Worldwide! From the UK, Germany, Japan, Italy, France to Australia, Sweden and Denmark, just to name a few...No Fallback Plan's fan base is growing exponentially.

The Fallen † will rise.

With the wonderful invention of the Internet, No Fallback Plan is now reaching people worldwide, and building an international fan base day to day, minute by minute. The band began playing live shows in 1997, and quickly built a strong fan base. With the success they have enjoyed on Myspace, and other music based sites, No Fallback Plan is becoming a force, that is not to be ignored. Growing not only as a band over the past 9 years, but also as musicians, They now have their eyes on the prize. They have something to prove.

With meaningful lyrics from songs like "War Bride," a beautiful union between the Industrial and Hard rock genres, that is receiving very enthusiastic reviews, and has recieved multiple online awards and honors. To songs with a heavier feel and deeper tones like "Cruel May" and "Away." No Fallback Plan's newest release, "Break The Broken," is also not disappointing, reaching #10 on the mp3.com charts as of 11/13/06.

"The range of music on the up and coming album is very impressive." Jon Sidel, A&R department of V2 music (a branch of Virgin Records) recently took notice. The A&R rep. requested two more songs, a bio on No Fallback Plan's vision on where they see their music going, and promo photos. So, No Fallback Plan's hopes are high right now, and the band very much appreciates all the support over the last few months.

The Vice-President of Research Music, located in Germany, was so enthusiastic about No Fallback Plan that he signed them immediately. Research Music Inc. signed No Fallback Plan to a Worldwide Distribution Deal. Michael Peckmann, Vice-President of Research Music and head of the A&R Department, is aggressively working hard to secure a Major Label Deal for the band. So far receiving interest from V2 music, UMusic, and a few others, there is no doubt...No Fallback Plan's time is coming.

The Fallen † will rise again.
