Born under the influences of groups like Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, and Queens of the Stone Age, Minneapolis-based One False Move bestows intricate song construction with unexpected progressions upon its listeners’ ears.  The band formed in 2011 when bassist Jon Fischler and drummer Justin Fischler fused with guitarist Robert Ellis and grandiose lead vocalist/guitarist Adam Johnson following the dissolution of their former band, Empty Set.  One False Move is a hard rock/stoner/grunge group that features a rhythm section which showcases bone-shaking bass tones and intensely driven rock drums, not unlike those of the Nirvana-era Dave Grohl.  Ellis layers in guitar work that is versatile, rich, and soulful, and their sound is capped off by robust, theatrical vocals provided by Johnson.  Elements of metal, punk, progressive rock, and classic rock surface as well, combining to form a soundscape that is wholly unique.

One False Move executes shows that are high-energy, engaging and thoughtfully crafted.  Fans leave coveting more, adrenaline still singing through their veins.  

With the release of their self-titled EP in February 2013, One False Move has unleashed six distinct tracks whose filigree is notable.  The album starts off with punk rock-inspired, funkified “Cashed” before transitioning into “Frozen” – a bona fide head-banging hard rocker.  The mood lightens momentarily with the palatable “Make It Better,” but immediately dives back into the darker recesses of the band’s repertoire with the groovy-smooth “Fatal Mistake.”  After digging into the bass-and-drum-driven “#11,” the album is capped off by “Gunshy,” a dark and stormy ballad featuring Jon Fischler on lead vocals that leaves the listener pining for more.

The band is currently set to release their sophomore effort in September, 2015.
