The Fall are a British rock music group, formed in Manchester in 1976, and named after Albert Camus's novel. At best, The Fall have found only limited mainstream success in their homeland, and have never breached cult status in the United States: however, they have reached the top 20 in New Zealand. Yet they remain important for both their music, and for their subtle influence on several generations of musicians who keep an ear tuned to underground culture.

The current line up is Mark E Smith, Ben Pritchard (guitar), Steve Trafford (bass), Spencer Birtwistle (drums) and Elena Poulou (keyboards).
