WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING:
“…brilliant lyrical skills, throwing down wonderful rap/rants with Dylanesque turns of phrase with awareness, cynicism, and momentum…”---PA Musician
“Dennis' voice is very unique. There's a cool kind of disparity to Dennis' voice that lends itself to being very authentic. When I listen to music I listen for authenticity and for music to be genuine. This is just that — it's style is very original.”--Shinbone Magazine
“A unique combination that really translates across many genres.”--Michael McCoy, PD – WLAN - (Lancaster, PA)
"crisp, inventive modern rock from a disc that gets better with every listen. not the same-old-same-old." ---Mike Naydock – WKAB (Berwick, PA)
“a straight-ahead, driving rock'n'roll sound defined by simple, catchy melodies and relatable, easy-to-digest lyrics about life, love and heartache in blue-collar America. “---Jim “The Professor” Price, The Backyard Rocker
“… [Fallon’s] got a flair for the dramatic…painting full, robust images, like treatments of scenes and scenarios from the identifiable to the absurd. Yet they’re lyrically executed convincingly…great pop sensibilities, cleverly avoiding the 6,700 clichés usually worked into this theme…file it under ‘regional classics.’ Great!” --Hazelton Standard-Speaker,(Northeast Pennsylvania)
“Dennis Fallon, the band’s vocalist, is the album’s charismatic focal point...he’s like a rubber ball on top of an exploding rock and roll geyser.”---Centre Daily Times (Knight-Ridder, State College, PA)
“Dennis remains a fiery front man with a knack for rallying crowds…a fresh and upbeat brand of rock.”--Pennsylvania Musician
“One of the fastest rising bands in the state“ ---Electric City (Scranton, PA)
“The band’s presence has been established in just a few short months.”---Blue Weekly (Penn State University)
“ …Fallon displayed a brassy voice and an upbeat stage personality as he fired up the large audience with free-wheeling original tunes…expect to hear a lot more about him in the months to come“---PA Musician
“The more lead singer Dennis Fallon and his band mates seem indifferent to big commercial success -- focusing instead on the sheer joy of playing live to their loyal local following -- the more they seem to court success.” ---The Daily Collegian

A SHORT HISTORY (As of FALL 2008):
After successful stints as a radio deejay/weatherman, farm hand, credit card salesman, working in a mental institution, cave tour guide, Film major, Sports Programmer, Taco Bell employee and music journalist throughout Pennsylvania, Dennis turned his strange view of the world to the obsession of the songs he writes; catchy little tunes that spill out of his head faster than he can record them. A sum of his parts, he turned from a budding writing career (he had a short story that was turned into a play) to pursue his passion: the songs he writes. Immersing himself in all things musical and hungry for a creative outlet, Fallon began performing solo shows in his hometown of State College, PA (home of Penn State University). The student body there would embrace Dennis and his songs, where he cut his teeth as one of the city’s premiere performers, releasing the regional favorite, SUPERSWEET POISON in 2003. With so many songs, Fallon formed the (now defunct) band KATSU and LOWJACK around his songs. With potent lyrics, punk mentality, and roots rock training, KATSU took off, landing an independent record and management deal after two short years of unstoppable touring. In 2006, KATSU disbanded (after 3 years), LOWJACK formed, and Fallon released his 2nd record, LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN and a LIVE ALBUM (Feb.2007).
