Development


In mid 2022, Philadelphia-based musician and YouTube personality Pat Finnerty founded August Is Falling, a pop-punk, emo-style music project.[1][2][3][4] Finnerty wrote[5][6] the songs and played guitars and sang vocals, and Eric Slick played drums,[7] on the band's The Simple Plan EP that was released independently on September 2, 2022.[8] Musical artist Harsh Symmetry appeared on EP's the cover.[2][9] Lyrics of the songs on the EP take aim at the popular music industry, internet culture, and the state of the emo movement.[8]

The EP's fifth song track, "August Is Falling", was mixed by acclaimed music producer Butch Walker and released as a single. A lyrics video of the same track was produced by J. Gonzo.[1][2][10]


Release


The independent release was backed by a grassroots movement to promote it on YouTube.[10][11] The single, "August is Falling", garnered 140,000 views on YouTube in its first week after release with August is Falling trending as the Number 1 punk band on BandCamp.[12] The band and EP received praise from The Darkness front man Justin Hawkins.[13] Music critic Mark Rowland, however, said the EP "sounds like it’s dumbing itself down somewhat to meet the expectations of the genre – to the point of parody in places – but at the same time, the songs are genuinely well constructed and catchy".[14]
