The Rent That We All Pay - album preview

"There comes a point in every band’s evolution when the question is no longer who are we? but what are we trying to say? On their third full-length album, The Rent That We All Pay, Portland hard-rock outfit Floodfall finally sound like a band that knows the answer.


Built on towering guitars, cinematic production, and lyrics that wrestle with history, memory, technology, and human connection, The Rent That We All Pay is an album that feels less interested in escapism than confrontation. These songs stare directly into the uncertainties of modern life and dare listeners to do the same."
