New video from Falling In Reverse for Chemical Prisoner

January 27, 2016

  Check out the new video from Falling In Reverse for their song, Chemical Prisoner. This is one of my favorite songs off their recent album, Just Like You. It is a great video that captures the energy of the band. The video was filmed in Ronnie’s hometown of Las Vegas and features his father and his motorcycle club. I love the black and white video and it carries such an intensity that is quite fitting for this song. This just might be my favorite Falling In Reverse video of all time. I can’t wait for Falling In Reverse to get back out on the road. I need my fix of their high energy sets! In case you missed it, check out photos from our Rockin Ryan of the last time we saw Falling in Reverse:   Make sure to visit the social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website:  www.fallininreverse.com  Facebook:  www.facebook.com/fallinginreverseofficial Twitter: www.twitter.com/FIROfficial iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/falling-in-reverse/id439592053
