2008 has sparked great changes in the world of Fallstar. The loss of several long term members forced Fallstar (at this time consisting only of vocalist Chris Ratzlaff and guitarist Justin Haag) to start thinking seriously about the next step in the band’s future. Haag and Ratzlaff, who are also the only founding members remaining, decided to recruit Ratzlaff’s brother Bryan to fill in at the bass and long time friend Robert Lasco to sit behind the kit. The full lineup was completed just before summer began with the addition of guitarist Jason Brown. The now completed and self-assured Fallstar began practicing ceaselessly to guarantee that their new members became acclimated with their older songs as well as hash out ideas regarding new material. Ratzlaff, who is said to be a tireless writer, leads the five-piece with intense vocals and challenging lyrics while the rest of the guys provide the perfect backdrop.
The new members in the Fallstar family bring their own brand of electricity that seamlessly aligns with Haag and Ratzlaff. Drummer, Robert Lasco lays the heavy groundwork from behind the kit as Ratzlaff (bass) and Brown prove themselves night after night as true showmen. Fallstar’s level of intensity is unmatched in the scene today. These guys are extremely talented artists who care deeply about not only the quality of their product, but the fans who embrace them just as lovingly. This band has a message, a path, and a will to continue to follow wherever the Lord may lead them. Fallstar’s dedication to their fans, their music, and above all else, their faith, makes this Northwest band a force that demands your attention, and once they have it, they will surely not disappoint.
