Biography

Even without considering themselves such, The Falcon is still something of a Chicago punk rock supergroup, resulting from the union of vocalist/guitarist Brendan Kelly (The Lawrence Arms, Slapstick, The Broadways), bassist Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio, Slapstick, Tuesday), drummer Neil Hennessy (The Lawrence Arms, Colossal), and guitarist Todd Mohney (Rise Against). Friends from over the years, the members of The Falcon initially came together after Kelly had written some songs that he didn't feel quite fit his current band, The Lawrence Arms. He got talking to Mohney about starting a band together, but aside from coming up with their name, not much happened until about a year later. Needing a bassist, Kelly showed Andriano the songs while hanging out one day and he immediately signed on. A phone call to Hennessy later cemented the group. Haphazardly recording their rowdy debut EP themselves with no budget, the resulting God Don't Make No Trash or Up Your Ass with Broken Glass was finally issued in December 2004 on Red Scare (the label's first release); the guys also donated a track to Fat Wreck's 2005 compilation "Protect: A Benefit for the National Association to Protect Children". Members all continued work with their separate bands before getting back together to record their follow-up release, the rawkin' full-length Unicornography, which appeared in late September 2006. By that point, The Falcon was down to being a trio with Mohney gone from the lineup. ~ Corey Apar, Rovi

    Lyrics
    All the bottles and the ashes blanket the ground.
    The sluts stagger out with their skirts hiked up, right on time now.
    I think it's time to go home. Do you wanna go home? (whoa!)
    The disco ball is swinging low.
    I found my lover on the radio. She sang me songs from a long time ago.

    Lyrics
    you want a piece of me?
    i'm like a razor blade
    i'm like a pound of blubber smothering a live grenade
    these are the days when the tv always stays on
    the show keeps running after the audience has all gone home

    Lyrics
    Let's sing a song about smoke and flames
    That burnt down our lazy yesterdays
    Let's pretend this poverty is fine
    And sit on our front porches like we do it all the time
    Go!

    Lyrics
    the first time i saw you
    you worked selling hot dogs and stealing your mom's vcr
    you sold your nintendo for a shitty drum set
    that you sold for a shittier car
    i remember you hitting your girlfriend

    Lyrics
    Ain't nothing worth watching on the TV today,
    and I can't stand working, and there ain't no shade.
    Prayer is for weaklings. I'm banking n luck,
    this city, my looks, and not giving a fuck.
    It seems like these days we're all sinking fast.
