YES... a British band that actually uses there own accent instead of putting on some faux-American patter. And also a hardcore band that are avoiding the usual beatdown/2-step route and throwing the net a bit wider.
Inside the CD tray is a story about the making of the album, and it’s a wonder the thing got finished after the landslide of disasters and catastrophes that occurred to these 5 Watford lads. Thank God.
Gallows, at the heart are a hardcore band. But a hardcore band with enough scope and vision and humour to realise that 3 chords can get boring pretty fast. Owing more to the Dischord school than any metal related genre (That said, metal does feature in the bands mix). They have more in common with the Bronx/American Nightmare/Swing Kids rock’n’roll approach. Angular guitars and bursts of discordant melody. Cheeky little blasts of Hammond organ, guitar solos and snatches of electronics pepper the songs and Frank’s very British sounding voice shouting and swearing over the top. Check out “In the Belly Of the Shark” and “Will Someone Shoot that Fucking Snake” for proof of the bands diverse nature and ability to burrow into your brain and keep you listening again and again.
Every song on here has its own sound and style, but you can tell that it’s the same band. No matter what angle or direction the band shoot of into, 90’s skronk, mathy rhythms or gang vocal chants, the band have there sound down to at.
Do your self a favour. Get hold of this album.
