Falling in Reverse is a very new band so I would be willing to bet that most of you have never heard of them... This is a post-hardcore band created by the former lead singer from Escape the Fate, Ronnie Radke... He was kicked from the band he created and replaced by former lead singer of Bless the Fall, Craig Mabbitt, due to breaking probation and being sent to jail...
Along side Ronnie in Falling in Reverse are lead guitarist Jacky Vincent, rhythm guitarist Derek Jones, bassist Mika Horiuchi and drummer Ryan Seaman.
If any of you are old Escape the Fate fans, you guys know the excellence that Ronnie Radke is capable of writing. The new album by Falling in Reverse is called "The Drug in Me is You" and is scheduled to be released on July 26th of this year. IMO the album is great. Many of the songs on the album are about Ronnie's time in prison and of course some are directed at his ex-band mates who dropped him when he was jailed. Of course Escape the Fate is directing remarks at Ronnie as well. I will not side with either Escape the Fate or Falling in Reverse on this even though I do believe that what Escape the Fate did to him was wrong and he definitely has a right to me upset about what happened... I enjoy listening to both bands, however, I believe that Craig is the better stage performer and Ronnie is by far the better song writer.
Anyways, overall the quality of Falling in Reverse's music is awesome, the guitar is melodic and not just there to clash with everything like some other bands, drums have presence, and everything is balanced incredibly well. Ronnie Radke is also one of my favorite vocalists for a post-hardcore band.

Tune Junkie's overall rating for The Drug in Me is You:
This album is an awesome display of what a musical genius, Ronnie Radke, can come up with. Not a second of this album is boring. Every instrument is utilized in a way that is unbelievable. The solos are amazing, lyrics are witty and original, and spectacular melodies. If you like post-hardcore music and liked old Escape the Fate then you will probably love this...
