Listen: Gallows Stream New Track, Confirm Album Release

Gallows have been a busy bunch overnight. Not only have they announced details of their forthcoming new album (more on that in a sec…) but they’ve also started streaming a brand new track.

Titled ‘Last June’, the song premiered on BBC Radio 1 last night, but you can listen to it in full below.

Speaking to us in next month’s issue of DIY Magazine, the frontman made the following comments of the recording experience.

“We’re trying to write a record that builds on the best parts of the first two Gallows records,” explains MacNeil. “The things that I’ve always loved about the band, those weird angular guitar moments from the first record. Then the second record has this anthemic quality that’s kind of like that first wave of punk, but with a smarter way of doing it. It’s a little more intelligent, it’s more modern.

“So, taking those things and then building on them and trying to do them better. Trying to push ourselves into another direction entirely on top of that. I think it’s the best record I’ve ever made. It’s the record I’ve always wanted to make. I think that everyone in the band can say that, and that doesn’t happen every day.”

The band have also confirmed details of a full UK tour, planned around the release.
