Great Falls

Great Falls is a Seattle-based noise rock trio known for their visceral blend of chaotic energy and cathartic heaviness. Formed in 2010 by vocalist/guitarist Shane Mehling (also of Playing Enemy), bassist Phil Keller, and drummer Demian Johnston, the band carves out a punishing sound that merges metallic abrasion with post-hardcore experimentation. Their discography, including recent releases like *Objects Without Pain* (2023) and *A Sense of Rest* (2020), showcases a penchant for dissonant riffs, pummeling rhythms, and Mehling’s raw, confrontational vocals. Often described as “therapeutic violence,” their music thrives on tension and release, balancing unrelenting noise with moments of eerie restraint. A staple of the underground heavy scene, Great Falls maintains a reputation for relentless touring and albums that feel like emotional exorcisms—best experienced loud, live, and with earplugs optional.
