Haling from the depths of Montreal, these pillars of Brass Metal have crawled through the darkest roads performing in some of the showiest corners of the continent.

Dozens and dozens of times they have shocked the musical world with their sound since 2009 and they plan on shocking some more in 2011. 

'Bastard sons of a pure breed', the album produced by Kevin Jardine (slaves on dope) will the day in spring of 2011. 

Fallstaf is the other side of North East Bistro. Us boys have always been attracted to the louder types of music. Fallstaf has allowed us to come into contact with the louder and more theatrical sides of our personalities. The truth is that Fallstaf has nothing to do with NEB music wise, so beware if you think the two are related. With the recording of North East Bistro’s Sharing all of our Darkes...t Moments a Montreal Native Story becoming a long and arduous process, we were looking at another project to sink our teeth into. We’d been talking about the name Fallstaf for a long time and in 2008 it all came together with five songs which you can sample on our long awaited EP. Fallstaf is Ben on bass, Sim on guitar, Matt on drums, The Hitman on trombone and Ian on vocals. The name Fallstaf comes from Falstaff who is a character referred to by Shakespeare in his play Henry V. He is a Knight more interested in having a good time than he is in being accountable for his Knightly responsibilities. He is often seen as a negative influence on young Prince Hal, the future king Henry V.

"Prepare for a full-out thrash-death onslaught, as Montreal's Fallstaf sets the metal bar high with their rampaging brand of trombone brutality. "Bastard Sons of a Pure Breed" will kick your ass!" - Evie's Underground - CKCU 93.1FM - Ottawa

“If you have not heard these guys yet you really need to check them out if for no other reason than just to find out what Pure Brass Metal really is. What you will find is a solid metal record with a (brutally brass) trombone thrown prominently into the mix. This is unlike anything I have heard but trust me it works and it works well. ” – PureGrainAudio.com

“Fallstaf is a unique set of gents that have created an ability with the use of not your average instrument the trombone and with that they have built a genre that takes heavy metal and infuses it with hardcore metal in turn sounding like “brass metal”. With this they have gone on to release an EP and even a full-length titled “Bastard Sons Of A Pure Breed”. All of this in the long run is a unique style of creativity that has been built behind the minds of metal drunkenness.” – Zero Tolerance Magazine

"HORN-ED BEASTS! Not Every band can claim to have forged their own genre, but that's exactly what local quartet Fallstaf (and their trombone) have done. Get your head around "brass metal" when they launch their album "Bastard Sons of a Pure Breed"." - Montreal Mirror

"Fallstaf describe themselves as "brass metal." It makes sense since they’re pretty heavy, with a ski-masked trombonist on top, just to fuck shit up. ..And don’t forget to check out their deliciously creepy video for The Cost. Groovy, sonic violence for ugly children." - Hour (Montreal)
