Stitched Up Heart have forged their path in sheer passion and earned their keep in physicality and volume. Both on the road and in the studio, front woman Mixi and the Los Angeles-based quintet face 2016 and their forthcoming Another Century debut with brazen confidence. "Finally Free" is the clarion call for the band's day of reckoning. Recorded by producer Mitch Marlow and captured on video by director Ron Underwood (also known as the high-flying front man for label mates, 9ELECTRIC), "Finally Free" delivers on the promise hinted at on their self-released EP, 'Skeleton Key'. Stitched Up Heart's days of self-booked national van tours and Mixi being a Revolver "Hottest Chicks" mainstay was merely the beginning. Driven by a new level of sonic confidence and topped with the front woman's soaring vocal verve, it's the sound of a band unapologetically coming into its own.
The band's major label debut, the album 'Never Alone' was released on June 17, 2016, and debuted in the Top 10 of both the Billboard Heatseeker and Hard Rock charts.
In 2019 the band released the song "Lost" from their second album 'Darkness'. It features vocals by Sully Erna of Godsmack. It also contains the singles "Darkness" and "Problems".
On September 1, 2023 the band released their third LP 'To The Wolves'. Its lead single is "Possess Me". It also contains the songs ""To The Wolves" (featuring Craig Mabbit from Escape the Fate) and "Immortal". They began a new tour with Escape the Fate, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, Points North, and Garzi a month later.

Catch Me When I Fall
Stitched Up Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got caught by gravity
This atmosphere is grabbing me oh
Torn apart by all the madness
Starting to pick up speed
I can't break free
Catch me when I fall
When everything comes down
Crashing all around
Catch me when I fall
Blinded by the light
Crashing through the sky
Like a meteorite
So catch me when I fall (fall, fall, fall, fall)
Chipping away, scraping the surface
And every piece of me
Sheds for all the world to see oh
Through all of this I feel so helpless
I see the ground beneath or so it seems
Catch me when I fall
Before I've lost it all
When everything comes down
Crashing all around
Catch me when I fall
Blinded by the light
Crashing through the sky
Like a meteorite
So catch me when I fall (fall, fall, fall, fall)
So catch me when I fall (fall, fall, fall, fall)
Oh I, I am weak
I could break
Oh so delicate
Crushed by the weight of the pain
I could break
I, I am weak
I could break
Oh so delicate crushed by the weight of the pain
I could break
Crushing down like rocks
Crushing rocks
Crushing down like rocks
Catch me when I fall
Before I've lost it all
When everything comes down
Crashing all around
Catch me when I fall
Blinded by the light
Crashing through the sky
Like a meteorite
So catch me when I fall (fall, fall, fall, fall)
So catch me when I fall (fall, fall, fall, fall)

This song shows off her vocal range and how savvy her lyrics and melodies can be. The band plays some heavy dedicated riffs with great rhythm and the two forces collide so sweetly. Absolute gem in my opinion (although I do love a good background growl/scream!!! Lol)
@NRobertAlexander
Been checking this band out every few years to see what's going down on the other side of the pond. Glad to see they've been steadily improving. I'm way past my Yankee mall metal phase, but these guys still know how to write a chorus worth listening to unlike so many others.
A positive surprise!
@JTLaser1
So Mixi, did you ever think that there would be a sixty year old grandpa walking around with this song stuck in his head for weeks at a time? What an awesome job you did on the entire album! It's my wife's favorite as well. (I'm sure that Merritt wouldn't be surprised!)
@serenityisablessing8386
Just saw them open for Godsmack in Canada. Fantastic set! The vocals, riffs, everything! Chatted with them between other bands taking stage, great people. Very humble, great live energy and stage presence. Thank you from Medicine Hat.
@jbird518
This is one of those songs I like more and more every time I listen to it. Just as amazing performed live.
