Rock Sound grabbed a few minutes with The Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon to talk about the band's preparations for Download 2011 this weekend. Pyrotechnics anyone?
How have the last few months been for you? Things have seemed quiet on The Gaslight Anthem front.
“Well, I took the big jaunt across the river and moved back to New Jersey, we went to Australia and Japan, other than that I’ve been laying low and making The Horrible Crowes' record.”
What is the relationship between your new project and Gaslight?
“With Gaslight I always want to figure out the best thing for it rather than go and mess around with the band, put out a weird record and make everybody nuts. The Horrible Crowes is an experiment and I don’t want to experiment with Gaslight, it has a preciousness that I don’t want to ruin, if want to try something weird that might get me to a new place I need to go do that on the side, and that's what I did. In fact, I’m getting ready to write the new Gaslight Anthem record now.”
When does writing start?
“It already has! This new record is coming quicker than people expect, I think we’ll have a new album out before Summer next year, we’re ready to go on it!”
