The Horrible Crowes, Brian Fallon's side project


Brian Fallon has a side project called The Horrible Crowes. While the band's blog (which is pretty bare at the moment, save for a few lyrics and a whereabouts update) says that the band was formed back in fall of 2010, it has only recently gotten some attention, with Brian posting on his blog about the band. At the time of the formation, The Gaslight Anthem were still touring and still basking in the warm glow of the attention they got from American Slang. While that album is still one to listen to all the time, the Gaslight Anthem are resting for a little bit, before following up Slang with something just as good, supposedly to be released 2012. So, Brian has decided to come out with some info about this new band, which features him and Ian Perkins, a fellow musician, hailing from the UK. He describes the band as being as if "Tom Waits, the National, the Afghan Whigs, Bon Iver, and Nick Cave made a band with Percy Sledge that'd be called The Horrible Crowes." So there you go. Some songs will be put out once they actually start recording, not demoing, like they are right now. We're all excited about this one, and I'm sure these two will not let us down!

About This Blog

I created this blog because, I noticed that there weren't a lot of fan sites for The Gaslight Anthem (a.k.a TGA) and because they are one of my favorite bands, hence the reason it's called Gaslight Anthem Fans.The Gaslight Anthem is made up of Brian Fallon (lead singer,) Alex Rosamilla (guitar,) Alex Levine (bass,) and Benny Horowitz (drums.) They are a post punk band that are a lot like Springsteen. Read more about them in the about page at the top.
