Rise and Fall (band)

Rise and Fall is a Belgian hardcore band. Formed 2002 in the aftermath of Belgian bands The Deal and Kingpin, Rise and Fall have become one of the most successful European hardcore bands ever, among the few signed onto American labels such as Deathwish Inc. and Reflections Records.

History

Rise and Fall originates from Ghent, Belgium, known for its ultra loud and powerful live performances. They draw influences from bands such as Black Flag, Converge, Neurosis, Tragedy and Entombed.

Early career (2002 - 2004) - Hellmouth

Formed in 2002 when members of The Deal and Kingpin wanted to start a side project, Rise and Fall later became the most important band for all four members, after these former groups disbanded. Following some lineup changes, the band released their first album in April 2004 entitled Hellmouth. The album was picked up a few months later and the CD released by JTTP Records in Germany while the vinyl version was released by Belgium's Anger Management Records.

Rises and falls

Rises and falls is a category of the ballroom dance technique that refers to rises and falls of the body of a dancer achieved through actions of knees and feet (ankles).

This technique is primarily recognized in International Standard and American Smooth dance categories. Rises and falls are important in Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, and Viennese Waltz. Tango is described the "level" or "flat" dance, and its basic technique specifically eliminates rises/falls in the overall motion, with the exception of certain advanced figures and styles.

The expression "rises and falls of the body" is a rather vague one, and in attempts to be more precise some texts refer to center of gravity, rather than body. This may also be misleading if taken out of context: the center of gravity may be lowered, e.g., by bends and sways. In addition, a certain amount of body rise and fall may be achieved by hip action, used in Latin dance, but absolutely proscribed in Standard and Smooth.

Rises and falls of the body is a natural phenomenon during casual walking: when feet are apart the body is closer to the ground than when the feet are together. Some dances, e.g., Charleston, exaggerate this natural "bobbing", while in many others bobbing at each step is considered to be bad style or lack of proper technique.

Rise & Fall (Justice Crew song)

"Rise & Fall" is a song recorded by Australian dance-pop group Justice Crew. It was released digitally and physically on 24 October 2014, as the fifth single from their debut studio album Live by the Words. It was written and produced by Robopop with Emily Laura Katter, Sam Nicolosi and DNA Songs and is a mid-tempo pop track. It debuted at number 11 in Australia.

Background and release

Following the success of "Que Sera", Justice Crew featured on Beau Ryan's single "Where You From?" and announced their new single would be titled "Rise & Fall" on 26 September.

On Rise & Fall, Justice Crew turn away from the house music sound by experimenting with soft-rock. Justice Crew member John Pearce explains, "We have had our pop music and our club bangers, but we edged off to the side with 'Que Sera' and now with 'Rise & Fall' we are exploring a whole new side to Justice Crew. It's got a sort of 'love' meaning behind it... it is a romantic song, but the lyrics are really metaphorical." "'Rise & Fall' is definitely a new sound for us, but I think it's a really good direction that we're heading in. We're really excited to see what people think."
