February 12, 2015

Contributed by Alexandra    Different from all the last shows I went to, Falling in Reverse only had one opening band, called Annisokay. They are actually a German band. Their sound is post-hardcore and fans of clean vocals mixed with screams and a guitar-driven sound will surely like them. They already have one album out and release number two, titled ‘Enigmatic Smile’, on March 20, 2015.   The first single ‘Carry me away’ of their upcoming record will be released Feb. 12th, 2015. They were with FIR for three dates and will be touring with Callejon from Feb. 12th until March 7th and with Emil Bulls from April 10th to April  25th through Germany.
