Gallows- 'Black Eyes'
I've really had Gallows on the brain this week. I have had both their albums, 'Orchestra Of Wolves' and 'Grey Britain', practically on endless repeat since Monday, and on Thursday I went to see them play the Quarterhouse in Folkestone. It was an intense show, and I did more than my fair share of screaming like a mental patient and dancing like an idiot, but it was worth it just to hear some of their material. 'Black Eyes' was definitely a highlight. That, and 'Misery', and 'The Riverbed', and most of their set. Oh, and I got right to barrier in front of Frank and Steph for 'In The Belly Of A Shark, amidst a load of other hysterical fans. Basically, all of it was awesome.
I read today on NME's website that Frank is planning to leave Gallows in late July to front a new band, Pure Love. At first I was disappointed to hear this, but now I guess it means Gallows have a chance to move in a new direction, and Frank gets to shred his pipes with a fresh group, so it's not all bad.
But back to business. 'Black Eyes' is really what punk and hardcore is all about. It's fast and snarling but fun and catchy too, and it's one of my favourite tracks off of the practically faultless 'Grey Britain'.
