zachubbell Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The UK's Gallows is a band that needs little introduction. Described, variously, as 'The best British punk band since The Clash' and 'The British music industry's biggest mistake', the Hertfordshire hardcore crew first emerged from the fecund UK underground punk scene in 2005. Inspired by Refused, At The Drive-In, JR Ewing and Swing Kids, their ferocious, feral 2006 debut Orchestra Of Wolves offered a harsh, unflinching dissection of suffocating suburban mores, shot through with images of small-town violence, desperation and disgust. Its follow-up, 2009's apocalyptic Grey Britain, was darker, denser and even more brutally incisive, a lacerating, none-more-bleak state of the nation address, speaking of a once proud nation on its knees, riven by prejudice, greed, ignorance and fear. December 2011's Death Is Birth EP heralded the arrival of a new Gallows: united, uncompromised, unfettered, unbroken. With old friend (and former Alexisonfire guitarist) Wade MacNeil installed as the band's new frontman, the seven inch EP was a defiant declaration of independence, 459 seconds of apoplectic punk rock fury landing like an adrenaline spike to the heart. Now, Gallows is excited to announce the release of a brand new album, which will be available in the U.S. from Bridge Nine Records early this Fall. Eleven new tracks were recorded at BroadfieldStudio in Watford, the band's hometown, in May with producers Thomas Mitchener and Steve Sears and feature some of Gallows best, and most pissed off, work to date. This new album will mark Gallows' first collaboration with Bridge Nine, which has been a long time in the making. The band commented, "We are excited to become a part of Bridge Nine Records. Having been following the releases of label since Chris started it, it's cool to become a part of that legacy. We plan to be touring the USA a lot on this new record and we're happy to have found our new American home." Bridge Nine owner Chris Wrenn said, "Our partnership with Gallows has been in the works for a little while now. All of us here are fans of the band and this new record is on point." He continued, "I think the best way to sum up our collaboration with Gallows is: 'It's about time.'" Tune into Daniel P. Carter's show on BBC Radio 1 tonight at 12am UK time / 7pm EST to hear the new Gallows track "Last June" on the air or online here . Pre-order information, street date and release specifics coming VERY soon. http://www.theb9.com/read-article/2460/bridge-nine-announces-new-album-release-from-gallows Stoked on this!!

daegor Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Is it wrong for me to say that I'm looking forward to rhe Pure Love release instead of Gallows? no, but have you heard the track they released? If you'll looking forward to something that sounds like the old Gallows with Frank, Pure Love ain't it dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yea im looking forward to this Gallows album. I thought the EP was pretty awesome. Before I saw that Pure Love music video I was really excited for that but not so much anymore. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellbent Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 no, but have you heard the track they released? If you'll looking forward to something that sounds like the old Gallows with Frank, Pure Love ain't it dude. Never really got into the Gallows whether it was Frank or the new guy at the helm. I'm just really digging the Pure Love songs. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanchardoswald Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I wonder what these are limited to. Fair price for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinngh Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That's definitely a fair price. The European version however...20€ plus 4,5€ shipping is quite a lot for 11 songs. Plus, B9's colours are a bit cooler than plain white. Anyway, ordered - I liked the song they posted, much better than that mediocre EP.

drewberinger Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 liking those variants for sure, loved the 7" from last year, will pre-order this in a few months unless it gets really limited. I feel weird pre-ordering something that doesn't release for another 2+ months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
versusexcalibur Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I ordered it in hopes that this dude grows on me. I dont think Gallows is Gallows with out Frank. Sonically they sound the same but i think franks delivery and accent lent its own charm. travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hipsterasfolk Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I just liked playing Belly of Shark drunk on Rockband. That was the bane of their existance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Listened to new stuff, really digging the heck out of it! They remind me nu-Conflict and other Anarcho-Punk bands that went harder in more recent years. Will PO this but dang man, 9/11 is far away!
