Manchester's The Falls unveil second studio EP ‘Would You Do It All Over Again?’ and final single ‘Blink’

The five-track EP documents a band growing up without losing the immediacy that made people pay attention in the first place. Produced, mixed and mastered by Luke Owens (SHADE, Montello, The Sprats), 'Would You Do It All Over Again?' builds on the foundations laid by 2025's debut EP 'Viva La Falls', which has since amassed over 100,000 streams and earned early support from Radio X's John Kennedy. Across its five tracks, the EP explores themes of uncertainty, ambition, consequence and perspective, pairing soaring hooks with sharp, observational songwriting that feels equally indebted to the swagger of The Courteeners, the melody of The Kooks and the charisma of Jake Bugg, wearing their influences loud while carving out an identity of its own.

The record moves from uncertainty and frustration towards acceptance and optimism. Open Fire and The Other Side capture lives in transition, while Loaded Gun - inspired by Martin Scorsese's The Departed - forms the emotional centrepiece, confronting the difficulty of escaping the past. Closing tracks City Lights and Blink shift the focus towards new beginnings, ending the EP with a reminder of how quickly life's defining moments can pass. The shift is structural and deliberate. Rather than treating the songs as isolated moments, The Falls shapes the EP as a single emotional arc, with concise arrangements, restless pacing and choruses that land like a shove in the chest.

Alongside of the EP comes its closing single 'Blink', also on September 18th. Inspired by the phrase 'Blink and you'll miss it', the track reflects on the fast-paced nature of a young modern life and how easily life's defining moments can slip away unnoticed. Built around the lyric, 'She gets high off a moment, so high, super fast rollercoaster', it captures both the excitement and impermanence of youth. Rather than dwelling on nostalgia, the track closes the EP with a simple message: sometimes the most important moments are the easiest to miss, life passes quickly, embrace every moment that presents itself; one blink is all it takes to miss something extraordinary.

The EP will be supported by an extensive UK headline tour throughout September and November, before the band head to Italy for their first European dates.
