Brian Fallon - frontman of American rockers the Gaslight Anthem - has opened up about the band’s fifth album, telling fans that they’re heading in a new direction.
Fallon took to Tumblr to discuss the new record, as well as a number of issues relating to their live show and the desire to evolve as a band.
One excerpt from the post reads:
“We have to find our path, because that’s the only honest thing we can do. Which is where I find myself now, proud of what we’ve done, and where we’ve come from, but it’s time to find the next thing. Time to create a new sound, time to create the next Gaslight Anthem. We will always play those songs, but we will never be that band again.
“When I was 27 years old we wrote a record called the ‘59 Sound. It was our first break. We got to work with a wonderful man named Ted Hutt who taught us things we never would’ve known without him. I was a kid pouring his heart out about what moved him inside and what I loved. Now I have to be a man pouring my heart out about what moves me inside.”
He the confirmed that he’d ‘go away from press and interviews until we finish our next record’.
“I’m going to go away from the press and interviews now until we finish writing our next record and find out what we will be in the next chapter of our artistic careers. I have nothing left to say until we find what that next chapter of our band is. To our fans… please bear with us through this awkward period of finding our new legs. I’m being honest with you here because I am grateful for your loyalty to my band. To the spiteful reviewers… just remember no one’s singing for you.”
