Falling Up is an American, alternative rock band from Albany, Oregon signed to BEC Recordings. The band's name is derived from the first song they wrote, which refers to how imperfect people are, but how sufficient the grace of God is to compensate for it. In harmony with their name, their lyrics are heavily grace-themed.
Falling Up describes their musical style as "core-rock" [1], which includes alternative metal instrumentation and power pop vocals, with other varying influences such as alternative rock, ambient, and rapcore, comparable to Linkin Park and Incubus.[2]

Falling Up debuted on February 24, 2004 their 12-track album, Crashings. Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Kutless, Anberlin, Hawk Nelson, Capital Lights). Crashings sold 3,396 units in its first week, which exceeded first-week sales by any other album in the history of BEC Recordings—incidentally, that record had been previously held by Kutless, who are friends of Falling Up from childhood. Crashings sold over 50,000 units by the end of 2004. Three songs from Crashings—"Broken Heart", "Escalates", and "Bittersweet"—all reached #1 on the Christian rock charts at R&R.
Their second album, Dawn Escapes, was released on October 25, 2005 through BEC Recordings. Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Chevelle, Cold), the album, though more melodic and hard rock-driven as a whole, did not majorly deviate from the sound of Crashings. Dawn Escapes pushed Falling Up's lifetime record sales to over 150,000 by the summer of 2006; guitarist Tom Cox left the band shortly before the album's release.
On September 12, 2006, Falling Up released Exit Lights, an album featuring remixes of the band's biggest hits and the new song "Islander". Solomon Olds of Family Force 5, Thousand Foot Krutch's Trevor McNevan, and Randy Torres of Project 86 fame were among the artists who worked with Falling Up for the project. Guitarist Joseph Kisselburgh left the band in May 2006 to focus on his solo project, The Send, which released its debut album on Tooth & Nail Records in July 2007.
On the band's Myspace page, they announced the release date for their latest project, Captiva. The album was released on October 2, 2007. The first single from this album is "Hotel Aquarium", which can be heard on the band's PureVolume and Myspace page, or purchased on iTunes. The band later also posted their second single "Goodnight Gravity" on PureVolume, followed by "How They Made Cameras," "Maps," and "A Guide to Marine Life." They have recently finished filming a music video for "Hotel Aquarium," which can now be seen on YouTube. Jessy has told music video network TVU that they plan to start recording a new album around September, with a release likely in December.
Band members Jessy and Josh have also started a side project under the name The River Empires, and are creating an album with the help of The Dear Hunter's Casey Crescenzo. As yet unnamed, it is planned for a 2009 release.
Falling Up's newest album, entitled "Fangs", was released March 24, 2009. According to their MySpace page, "Fangs" will be their "heaviest album yet". It will be "more of an arrangement than just a record that is put together randomly" and one that "will not have 14 great songs in entirety, but just intriguing moments and sections". They've also let loose a name of one of the songs, which is to be titled "Lotus and Languorous". According to a BEC Recordings representative, a tour is supposed to coincide with the release.
In a recent blog entry, Falling Up's Jessy Ribordy announced that the band has completed the album entitled "Fangs" and that it will be about a "very very very fictional tale", including "a tiny bit of violence and some dramatic dialog". Jessy is in the process of hiring guitarists, keyboard players, and singers for the upcoming tour, and will be introducing them shortly.
According to BEC Recordings and Falling Up's myspace, Falling Up will be headlining the Fangs! tour in late April early May 2009 with Tooth and Nail artist Ruth and Portland indie/pop artist Archeology. Unlike past tours, the venues are strictly secular clubs.
