Gallows to record new album soon!

An article in the Milton-Keynes Citizen about the upcoming Back to the Dives Tour contains this quote from Stu: "We are doing this tour to round off the year. We’re not going to get much of a chance to play again for a few months because we’ll be working on a new album and probably getting cabin fever with that!"

The album could be released as early as Fall 2011/Winter 2012 in my opinion, however this is just speculation.

If you get a chance to see them on the upcoming tour, please send us a copy of the setlit if you can, and tell us if they played any new material! Links to YouTube videos of any new songs, or good-quality older songs are also greatly appreciated.

Altsounds.com Review of Leeds Show

Altsounds.com has posted a very good review of Gallows performance at Leeds.

"In Frank Carter they have possibly the best front man of any of British band of the past decade (or so) - a man who inspires fist thrusts in the air and the bellowing along with chorus’s like few others. Throw in crowd banter that actually whips up those in their presence rather than the arbitrary “Hello Leeds, are you having a good time?” and their taut 10 song set becomes one of the highlights of the weekend - it’s only Friday afternoon, but it’s already clear few bands will be able to match the London five piece."
