Brian Fallon & The Painkillers
Gaslight Anthem's voice in troubadour mode — Jersey heart, whiskey throat, and heartland songcraft that trades the amps for storytelling without losing the ache.
Brian Fallon is the singer, guitarist and songwriter of The Gaslight Anthem, the New Jersey band that built its reputation on punk-informed heartland rock. The Painkillers are the backing band he assembled for his solo work during the group's hiatus in the mid-2010s. The songs lean further toward classic American rock and roll and soul than his main band's material, with the same narrative approach: characters, cars, radios and reminiscence, sung in a roughened voice that invites the obvious Springsteen comparisons. Fallon has also recorded with the side projects The Horrible Crowes and Molly and the Zombies.
