The bright future of rock 'n' roll is Brian Fallon

In 1974, Rolling Stone magazine's Jon Landau reviewed an up-and-coming musician's gig for Boston's the Real Paper. The emerging songster was Bruce Springsteen of who Landau penned, "I saw rock 'n' roll's future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen."

Landau's quote packs weight, and more than 35 years later, it's time to dust it off.

Brian Fallon is best known as the front man of modern rock ‘n' roll pioneers, The Gaslight Anthem. His latest project, an endeavor with friend and guitarist Ian Perkins, goes by the name of The Horrible Crowes. Dubbed by Fallon as his "nighttime music" project, The Horrible Crowes' debut full-length, "Elsie," is a stark contrast to Gaslight's revved-up style.
