The Wallflowers

Recently started getting into this band, anyone else into them at all?

Ive got Jakob Dylans 2 albums and then a friend reccomended these guys to me as he was their fron man.

Very under-rated band. Breach was an album that brother constantly played when i was like 6 and 7. Finally got in on vinyl recently and listened to it for the first time in years. It's wonderful.

Picked up a copy of Bringing Down The Horse randomly one day at a thrift store on a whim and I love it. They were on my mental list of bands to check out and I'm glad I found an album and didn't just forget about them. I think they're at least worth a listen to most Gaslight fans.

Yeah Bringing Down the Horse is good. I always kind of dismissed the Wallflowers for whatever reason but I picked up Jakob's solo albums a while back and was blown away. Saw Bringing Down the Horse for $3 a month or two ago and bought it.

Breach outshine Bringing Down the Horse for me

both good, Breach is great

Haven't heard Breach yet. Will for sure check it out, though!

Neeeeew Album.

Just happened to listen the Bringing Down the Horse album today. Awesome - still intending to check out Jakobs solo stuff

I'm seeing Jakob live next week. I love his solo stuff so much.

^ umm Bringing Down the Horse is the best. must have. i saw them live once, many years ago...but between Bringing Down the Horse, Red Letter Days, and some of his solo stuff (that's basically what I've heard of them) BDTH is the best. i have many good memories that sync up with some of those songs.

great, thanks to this thread, i am so in a Wallflowers mood now.

That is so not a bad thing.

anyone else really excited for the new album? what does everyone think of the single? i don't think its anything overly amazing but i do like it. cool bassline.

They are really good. I love JD's voice! I saw them in concernt many moons ago and he's also great live as well. I had no idea a new album was coming out. I have breach on vinyl and that's a great record! One time Brian said a quote about Jakob and it was so dead on....let me look for it....Well I can't find it, LOL. Anyways it was something about how J.D. sings as if he has the utmost care and concern but at the same time sounds like he doesn't care at all.

I enjoy the single. Very Clash-y. (I mean it does have Mick Jones on it). I posted about it in the Jakob Dylan thread cause I didn't know we had this one. We could probably do with merging them together.

Never noticed that band ..so I'm glad I found out about 'em now. They are cool...some of their song that I gave a listen are really nice to relax

Wow. I just checked out the songs Brian played with the Wallflowers last month at the Stone Pony on YouTube. Great stuff.

I like it a lot. Maybe that's because I'm a gigantic fan of The Clash. "Reboot The Mission" has Mick's prints ALL over it.

Release day is tomorrow. Anyone picking it up? They have a release show here in LA and I know I'm going. Any other members going? We should grab a drink.

I got the vinyl (which has a CD included) 2 weeks ago...it really sounds great. I've given it so any listens and it just keeps growing on me.
