Falling Up is an American Christian rock/Nu-metal band signed to BEC Recordings. The band's name is derived from the first song they wrote, which refers to how imperfect people are, but how sufficient the grace of God is to compensate for it. In harmony with their name, their lyrics are heavily grace-themed.

Falling Up describes their musical style as "pash rock" [1], which includes alternative metal instrumentation and power pop vocals, with other varying influences such as alternative rock Ambient and rapcore, comparable to Linkin Park and Incubus. Falling Up is often labeled pop punk. [2] [3]

They debuted on February 24, 2004 with a 12-track album titled Crashings. Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Kutless, Anberlin), Crashings sold 3,396 units in its first week, which exceeded first-week sales by any other album in the history of BEC Recordings—incidentally, that record had been previously held by Kutless, who are friends of Falling Up from childhood. Crashings sold over 50,000 units by the end of 2004. Three songs from Crashings—"Broken Heart", "Escalates", and "Bittersweet"—all reached #1 on the Christian rock charts at R&R.

Their second album, Dawn Escapes, was released on October 25, 2005 through BEC Recordings. Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Chevelle, Cold), the album, though more melodic and hard rock-driven as a whole, did not majorly deviate from the sound of Crashings. Dawn Escapes pushed Falling Up's lifetime record sales to over 150,000 by the summer of 2006; guitarist Tom Cox left the band shortly after the album's release.

On September 12, 2006, Falling Up released Exit Lights, an album featuring remixes of the band's biggest hits and the new song "Islander". Solomon Olds of Family Force 5, Thousand Foot Krutch's Trevor McNevan, and Randy Torres of Project 86 fame were among the artists who worked with Falling Up for the project. Guitarist Joeseph Kisselburgh left the band in late 2006 to focus on his solo project, The Send, which released its debut album on Tooth & Nail Records in July 2007.

On the band's Myspace page, they announced the release date for their latest project, Captiva. The album was released on October 2, 2007. The first single from this album is "Hotel Aquarium", which can be heard on the band's PureVolume and Myspace page, or purchased on iTunes. The band later also posted their second single "Goodnight Gravity" on PureVolume, followed by "How They Made Cameras," "Maps," and "A Guide to Marine Life."
