@P0rndoll Pure Love bruh the singer of Cancer Bats said that he's heard Frank's new project and said it was great in an interview... we jsut hafta wait and see
They changed their vocalist... They're the same band with a new vocalist. For a third time, they are the same band with a new vocalist. Now, as for everyone talking about how they're just like every other hardcore band out there because Frank is gone, you're all morons. The end.
This makes me sad. Oh well, people and bands can change. It just sounds like half the other hardcore bands out there I have heard. No worries, hope they're loving what they're doing and having fun!
@OxidationShed Umm go back and read the lyrics for most of the songs on Grey Britain.. They repeat over and over and over. Most of the songs on that album have about 4 unique lines a basic chorus and then back to the same 4 lines again. It's Gallows style and has been since they formed.
i understand both sides of the argument but for me the band is frank and lags, they started the band and they should have finished it. i love wade but hes not gallows, franks southern accent made the vocals and bringing in a Canadian (as awesome as he may be) doesn't. cut it for me. which makes me sad :( just hope the new stuff grows on me. i would have liked to see frank and steph's other brother do vocals.
I wouldn't mind them if they were a whole new band, but keeping the name Gallows is a bit disrespectful. I mean, how can a Canadian who never lived in UK sing songs from Grey Britain and make us feel his wrath? Frank used to express his rage towards the country he lived in, now this band will only sing the new material, making it a whole other band.
@BlindMkd So a band should change there name becuase 1 of 5 members left the band? Gallows is a band not a person. Frank left boo-hoo. It was Frank and the band decided that was best. What do you want them to do say "oh are lead singer left. We should all quit because he was the only important member in this band. Cause we not that important". No they got a new lead singer (Wade Mcneil's a best imo) and kept going.
@Slingsby123 If he was actually continuing what Gallows did before, I'd hat no problem. There were bands who survived the vocal change simply cause the vocals had an understanding of what the band was all about. Judging by this song (and True Colors, tho those were some catchy riffs I must admit ) Wade has no idea what Frank was singing all-about. That's why I said that they should change their name, not quit. They are good at what they're doing, but they are not the UK beasts we all knew.
@LetsTakeArideOut Pure Love wont even be a punk band, that's why Frank left, he didn't want to play this style of music anymore. If you're expecting Pure Love to be the new Gallows, you'll be very disappointed.
@therur i know that, i don't care whether ther punk or not, i just love franks style and anger. ive never seen any frontman since john lydon who has shown anger like that! wades good, but now gallows have lost there substance to me, they sound like another dead swans, which i know they werent gonna sound the same without frank, but i am still gonna buy there next album!!!
Im a gallows man, i followed them in the beggining , ILL follow them to the end!!!!! ;) Forever AHMEN
@AlesanaEmarosaFTW Can't really tell since I've never been an Underoath fan. But I always found Gallows to be a concept-band, since they released a concept album (i.e. Grey Britain), so this change wouldn't quite get to the core of it. Black Flag, however, had vocal changes and yet managed to be one of my favorite bands.
@BlindMkd I do agree with your comment though, personally I think they should have tried to get The Ghost Of A Thousands singer but thats just me. And yeah I doubt they'll be writing about how Britain has changed or anything. To me this just sounds generic to the bone of what the sub-genre should sound like. (I said sub-genre to try to avoid little kids having a war about the sub-genre it is when personaly i dont care) I've never listened to Black Flag , think I'll give them a go.
I also thought that it would be a good Idea would be to get the singer from The Ghost of A Thousand, and if they couldn't manage to take him - they should'v taken some "unknown" singer who actually understands Frank's work (someone British).
Ugh. Mediocre and derivative. I remember when Gallows was a band with personality and bite. This just sounds like 1000 other average American hardcore bands.
@Ragedhard its just an EP. They can write generic music if they want. i bet the next album wont be this mediocre. its probably just something they wanted to get written and recorded just because they hadnt released anything in along time. its still good
@tlynch441 I don't know about everyone else, but I feel like this song is a lot more generic than any given song off of their last album. I can handle a change in singers, but when you give me something that's pretty much a three-chord song that repeats "HEY! Fuck the world" over and over again, when the band used to produce songs that stood out from the other contemporary punk bands... well, I get mighty disappointed.
I quite like this, loved true colours and I hope they will be a success in this formation. It just seems like Wade has remembered the words to all the old Gallows songs and forgotten the stage presence. If he can't pull this shit live, they're doomed. It just looks ridiculous. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.
I cannot anyone actually has the audacity to call the new gallows shit based off of the first single. First of all, this is a rip from a radio station, so the quality is down. Also, how about give the new singer a chance past the first song. Most people who have been to the AP tour love Wade's style. Just give em a chance, and for the love of god stop being so close minded.
I'd love it if they changed their name :( I fucking love original Gallows, so I can't except this as the same band :( if they changed their name they would still have my love
@xMaSHZzZ it sounds a bit like Cancer Bats... I love Cancer Bats :( but (I'm sorry to everyone with other views) it's just not Gallows without Frank :/
this new guy had HUGE shoes to fill following frank. Respect for trying, but youre far from the legacy frank was. Gallows shoulda changed the name of the band. it just isnt the same at all.
honestly grey britian was a fucking masterpiece, and for Frank, seeing him live was a life changing experience. i dont know what they are like live now, but i dont really give a damn, frank carter was the craziest entertainer in the punk scene (next to GG of course) and no one will be able to beat him.
Problem is that there's alot of hype with the new EP - so everyone's setting themselves to be disappointed. F*ck the hype and enjoy it for what it is!
its not going to sound good if the quality is shit. this has been ripped off the radio one broadcast of it. watching the live version of it i say its still got the energy. im going to leave my decision when a full album comes out. im happy with whats been produced.
