Biography
Their garage-pop debut single "Falling" was released in late 2000 and reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart in January 2001.{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPec8VG8pJU | title=Boom on TOTP | website=YouTube | date=5 October 2007 | accessdate=24 April 2013 }}
Can't Stop the Pop described the song as "an incredibly clean-sounding track; it's slick and light on its feet, which is perfectly in-line with the sort of material being peddled by Artful Dodger, but perhaps a little throwaway by pop – and debut single – standards." They then went on to say: "Perhaps more than was evident at the time, since their brand of garage-pop was not a million miles from that of Liberty X, who would launch later that year. Perhaps, however, in early-2001, there just wasn't enough to convince London Records that garage wasn't a passing fad. Nonetheless, 'Falling' is a quality track and – even if we didn't know it at the time – an incredibly accurate indication of things to come."{{Cite web|url=https://www.cantstopthepop.com/2020/01/13/boom-falling/|title=Boom! - Falling|website=Can'tStopThePop|date=January 13, 2020}}
