The Fall

Punk rock
Punk rockRap

The Fall is a Punk rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of New Order, R. Dean Taylor, Tago Mago, ESG and The Idle Race. Those roots explain a lot about how The Fall arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Wire, Public Image Ltd., The Wedding Present, The Pop Group and Au Pairs, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Whipping Boy, Ride, The Clean, Goat Girl and Buke and Gase, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 60 connections around The Fall, reaching back through New Order and forward to Whipping Boy.
