For a band named after a wrestling match, ONE FALL proves they're not just another contender in the rock ring – they're the undisputed champs.
For a band named after a wrestling match, ONE FALL proves they’re not just another contender in the rock ring – they’re the undisputed champs.


Spine First! is more than just an EP – it’s a declaration. Tracks like “Rage/Quit” and “Surrounder” aptly demonstrate ONE FALL’s unique blend of metal, street punk, and skate punk energies. The Springsteen cover, “Born To Run,” seals the deal, reminding everyone of McWilliams’ New Jersey roots and the band’s versatility.
However, it’s not just about the music. The lyrics stand tall, with McWilliams providing a deep dive into society’s dark corners, addressing issues like misogyny and capitalism’s influence on patriarchy and rape culture.
Amid all the chaos, the camaraderie within ONE FALL is evident. From Hunt’s riffs to Wheeler’s rhythmic prowess, the band exudes mutual admiration.
As they embark on their new journey post the EP release, playing at various events like The Fest in Gainesville, the trajectory for ONE FALL seems promising. While they’re excited about the accolades, at the end of the day, Spine First! is a testament to their sheer passion for the craft.
They sum it up best,
Spine First! is available for streaming now.
