Gallows

Come to my town

The ascent 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. The band signed to Nottingham’s In At The Deep Records and recorded their debut album ‘Orchestra Of Wolves’. Released in September 2006 this fraught collection snow-balled as word on the record spread through the underground and into the national press and radio. Accolades followed from the likes of NME, Kerrang! Rock Sound and Metal Hammer and much airplay from the Radio 1 Rock Show and Punk Show and the XFM Rock Show. As a DIY hardcore band, it was an interesting juxtaposition. But with their feet in the underground and their eyes looking towards bigger things Gallows proved themselves more than ready to make that leap. Others agreed and in January 2007 they became the smallest UK band to grace the cover of Kerrang! in many years. Following a now legendary UK headline tour in March that climaxed with a night of sheer chaos at the 100 Club that saw major record company executives having to sneak into the fire-escape to see the band and a series of incendiary performances at SXSW in Texas, Gallows inked a deal for their own Black Envelope Records through Warner Bros Records and signed to Epitaph Records for North America. Since that moment, life in Gallows has been a blur of activity. Single releases of both ‘Abandon Ship’ and ‘In The Belly Of The Shark’ followed while their incendiary adaptation of The Ruts punk classic ‘Staring At The Rude Bois’, featuring guest vocals from Lethal Bizzle, showed a band prepared to spread their wings. Life-affirming sets at both Reading/Leeds and the Download Festival firmly put the band on the map in the UK while the rest of the world finally got their first taste of Gallows as both the Warped and Taste Of Chaos tours took the band all over the globe. Prior to their performance at the Leeds Festival, the band came away with a Kerrang! Award for ‘Best British Newcomer’ marking an incredible few months with a taste of what was to come.
