Band Biography
Falling in Reverse is an American rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2008 by lead vocalist Ronnie Radke. Originally named From Behind These Walls, it was renamed Falling in Reverse shortly after formation. They are currently signed to Epitaph Records. The band has undergone numerous lineup changes, with Radke being the only remaining original member.
The band is currently led by lead vocalist Radke, alongside guitarists Christian Thompson and Marc Okubo, bassist Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz and drummer Luke Holland. The group released its debut album, The Drug in Me Is You, in July 2011, which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200, selling 18,000 copies in its first week. It was certified gold by RIAA in December 2019. The band's second studio album, Fashionably Late, was released in 2013, which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200. The band released their third album, Just Like You, in February 2015. Their fourth album, Coming Home, was released in 2017. Their fifth album, Popular Monster, was released on August 16, 2024.
In 2006, lead singer Ronnie Radke was involved in an altercation in Las Vegas that resulted in a friend fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Cook in self-defense. While Radke did not shoot Cook, he was indicted on charges relating to owning brass knuckles that he took to the altercation. These charges, combined with Radke's past troubles with narcotics and rehab, led to five years probation. After he failed to report to his probation officer, he was arrested in June 2008, where his probation was revoked and he was mandated to serve his original sentence of two years in prison. At the time, Radke was the lead singer of post-hardcore band Escape the Fate, which, in 2006, released its debut album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.
Following Radke's incarceration, he was ejected from the band and replaced by former Blessthefall lead singer Craig Mabbitt. Radke was released on December 12, 2010. Radke discussed his relationship with Escape the Fate members since his departure from the band, stating that they have tried to reconcile with Radke but he was uninterested in getting back on friendly terms with them claiming that they kicked him out and misinformed their fans about him. Radke stated in an interview,
