CD Description
Reissue of ferocious debut album from critically-lauded Watford punks whose punishing live shows built an unstoppable momentum which culminated in them being hailed as the best new act of 2006 and signing deals with Epitaph and Warner Bros. An amalgam of UK, Euro and US hardcore styles with a melodic bent and a furious, uncompromising lyrical stance, this is a record well deserving of its reputation. Includes the single 'Abandon Ship'.
About the Artist
The assent of Gallows has been both rapid and explosive. Formed in the conurbation town of Watford in early 2005, the quintet's members cut their teeth playing in various lauded local punk/hardcore bands before coming together to create what Kerrang! have called `the future of punk rock'. With a live performance that, in terms of sheer energy and passion, out-strips any band you care to mention, the band (Frank Carter (vocals), Steph Carter (guitars/vocals), Laurent Barnard (guitars/keys/vocals), Stuart Gili-Ross (bass) and Lee Barratt (drums) quickly built up a reputation as an incredible live act. By the close of 2006 Gallows were the most talked about band of the UK underground.
