Backdrop Falls has just released their new single, ‘Choose to Fight’, now available on all digital platforms along with its music video on YouTube. This track is an invitation for anyone looking for something fresh and exciting, a testament to the band’s energy and authenticity. ‘Choose to Fight’ dives into themes of resilience and self-discovery, exploring the journey of those who refuse to stand still and embrace every step — even mistakes — as part of the path.
The song delivers catchy choruses and riffs that move between punk rock and alternative, while keeping Backdrop Falls’ signature sound. It’s the kind of track that transports you to the vibrant atmosphere of a 90s Californian movie, made to be played at full volume.
With nearly 10 years of history, Backdrop Falls has shown consistent growth, delivering a sound with the right amount of weight while preserving its identity. Originating from Fortaleza, outside Brazil’s traditional southeastern music hub, the band is a clear example of the diversity and quality of music thriving across the country. Their compositions are filled with genuine emotions — one of the quartet’s strongest trademarks, led by vocalist and guitarist Matheus Collyer.
Throughout their career, Backdrop Falls has shared the stage with bands like Sum 41, Against Me, Hot Water Music, Face to Face, and Hellacopters, and has appeared at major festivals such as Garage Sounds, Oxigênio Fest, and Do Sol. The band has also toured across different regions of Brazil — including the Northeast, South, and Southeast — as well as Argentina, building a solid trajectory in the independent scene.
“With ‘Choose to Fight’, we want people to feel the same energy we put into every note,” says Matheus Collyer. “It’s a song about moving forward, about not being afraid to make mistakes and fighting for what truly matters. If you like good music made by real people with lots of energy, you need to listen to this band. And when you hear that talk about rock being dead, or that there aren’t any new bands making good music, show them this band!”
