We recently had the amazing good fortune to check out the new single “A Drink Before The War” from New England alternative rock band Falsely Accused. You can listen to “A Drink Before The War “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here and on Bandcamp Here

Falsely Accused absolutely shines while delivering a well defined heavy and soulfull alt-rock sound on their new single “A Drink Before The War “ and we absolutely love it. The heavy sound from Falsely Accused is music to our ears .

The riff-fueled track arrives the day the power trio performs live at Thirty First in Lowell, and begins a series of new releases that lead to a new EP arriving in early 2025.

“A Drink Before the War,” Falsely Accused’s first new music since 2021 debut album Compression and the following year’s holiday single “Northbound (For Christmas),” takes its title from Dennis Lehane’s 1994 crime novel of the same name, and is a rallying cry for those we do battle with as we go through our daily lives.      

“I think about ‘A Drink Before the War’ as a love song,” admits vocalist and bassist Matt Tavano. “I wrote the words for my wife. It’s about finding the person you’re going to spend your life with and then fighting life’s battles together. Sometimes I’ve found that before we’ve had to do a hard thing together, it’s good to take a moment, gather our collective strength, and then get after it. A quiet moment before the fight. I think every couple has had those moments.” 

“A Drink Before The War” was written and performed by Falsely Accused.Recorded and Engineered by Steve Aliperta at Kennedy Studios in Burlington, MA and mastered by Dominik Honold at Protonaut Studios in Erkelenz, Germany
