Wade MacNeil of Alexisonfire to front Gallows, new show announced in London

Alternative Press have announced that Wade Macneil, formerly of Alexisonfire (who announced their breakup last week) will be Gallows new frontman. You can read an excerpt from the AP article below.

"How do you think the band is different with you in it?
I definitely think I have a very, very different voice than Frank—and I mean aside from yelling, I think just the tone of my voice is going to be the one thing that’s really, really different. Even though I’ve spent a lot of the last 10 years touring England in various bands, I don’t have a British perspective for everything, so whereas the last record was definitely focused on Britain specifically, I think everything we’re going to do in the future will definitely have more of a worldview. That’s something everyone in the band can relate to, because we spent the majority of our youth traveling the world playing punk shows."

Gallows have also announced they will be playing XOYO in London on December 13th, tickets go on sale Friday.

Frank Leaving Gallows-New Frontman Will Be Found

Over the past 24 hours Gallows, Frank and his new band Pure Love have been tweeting about an announcement that would be made at Midnight. Just over an hour ago the band posted a note on Facebook explaining Frank's departure from the band and the reasons behind it.

Gallows will continue on as a band, however it can be assumed that the third record will be indefinitely delayed until the band has found a new singer.

We at Gallows News HQ will debate reporting Pure Love news on this site.

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.
