Andrew "Falco" Falkous (born 5 April 1975[1][2]) is a British musician best known for being the founding member/frontman for the Cardiff-based punk rock outfit Mclusky,[3] current lead singer/guitarist of the band Future of the Left and the sole member of Christian Fitness.
The line-up consisted of Falco fronting the band, serving as its main songwriter along with Mat Harding on drums and Jon Chapple on bass/backing vocals.
Falco did not stay silent for long, in 2006, he announced the formation of Future Of The Left with Mclusky drummer Jack Egglestone and former Jarcrew frontman Kelson Mathias assuming bass duties.
[8] In a 2010 interview with NME Falco stated that Mathias was no longer in the band and bassist Julia Ruzicka (also his then girlfriend, now wife) and guitarist Jimmy Watkins have joined the group as a quartet.
[9] In late 2011, the band announced they signed to Xtra Mile Records and released the EP Polymers Are Forever and the album The Plot Against Common Sense.
Falco became a surprise player in the debate over illegal musical file sharing when the second Future of the Left album Travels with Myself and Another was leaked online in late April 2009, more than two months before its official release.
[12]UK Music decided to take out a full-page advert in The Guardian, reprinting Falco's letter, making him an advocate for bands and sparking further debate on behalf of artists.
