10 | Falling Up were an [[AlternativeRock Alternative Rock band]] originating from Albany, Oregon. Originally the group was pegged as the [[ChristianRock Christian]] version of Music/LinkinPark, but they developed into a very experimental band with a penchant for ScienceFiction {{ConceptAlbum}}s. In fact lead singer Jessy C. Ribordy has revealed that every album after the first one tells stories that [[SharedUniverse take place in the same universe]]. Now what these stories are tend to be [[WildMassGuessing open to interpretation]] to say the least. |

12 | Originally gaining a following with their debut album "Crashings", on Tooth & Nail Records, the band progressively changed their sound with each album, before really jumping ship and releasing their first official ConceptAlbum [[NewSoundAlbum “Fangs”]]. The [[BoxOfficeBomb underwhelming]] success of said album prompted the band to leave their record label and go independent. Falling Up then proceeded to release four critically acclaimed albums and a number of side albums before finally calling it a day in 2015 with the final album [[SelfTitledAlbum “Falling Up”]]. |
