AS DECEMBER FALLS RELEASE NEW SONG
Having spent seven relentless years forging one of the UK rock scene’s most fiercely independent triumph stories entirely without label backing, As December Falls have secured back-to-back Top 20 and Top 10 chart placements while cultivating a deeply devoted fanbase gig by gig. Today, the Nottingham-based trio make their triumphant return with their brand-new single ‘Nervous’, featuring Markus Videsäter of Solence.
Offering a captivating glimpse into the band's next era, ‘Nervous’ sees the group lean into a brighter, hook-driven sonic direction without compromising a shred of the raw power that has underpinned their identity from day one. Anchored by undeniable melodies and an anthemic chorus, the track stands as the boldest testament yet to a band poised for even greater heights.
Vocalist Bethany Hunter says: “The song is about the specific feeling of butterflies hitting your stomach when you’re around someone that makes you forget how to be normal. We wrote it whilst on the road, then passed back and forth with Markus of Swedish rock band Solence, with Markus taking the second verse and returning for the final chorus. It’s our first time having an artist feature on a track and we were SO stoked with Markus’ performance!”
Crashing into the UK Official Albums Chart at #8, their album Everything's On Fire But I'm Fine showcased As December Falls at their absolute peak of confidence and creative ambition. Crafted while juggling an intense touring schedule alongside everyday jobs, the collection channels the full spectrum of anxiety, fatigue, deep appreciation, and fierce resolve that defines the pursuit of a dream still in motion.
The tracklist embraces life's chaotic dualities head-on, moving seamlessly from the smoldering title track—which ponders the band's balance between DIY independence and mainstream elevation—to the vulnerable sincerity of cuts like ‘Grim Reaper’ and ‘Angry Cry’. Beyond those emotional highs, ‘Ready Set Go’ draws creative spark from late-night Twitch streams, ‘Bathroom Floor’ unpacks painful breakup dynamics and early warning signs, and ‘For The Plot’ captures the group delighting in pure, uninhibited mayhem.
This unflinching transparency has ultimately become the hallmark of the As December Falls experience. By consistently rejecting short-lived trends and holding firm to their authentic identity, they have cultivated one of the most passionate grassroots followings in modern British rock through music that remains grounded, deeply resonant, and fearlessly genuine. Everything's On Fire But I'm Fine captures a group harnessing the surrounding madness, making it overwhelmingly clear that their journey is only just beginning.
