Gallows’ “Grey Britain”: Superb

gallows1_1394481cThe Telegraph says: ‘Since inventing it in the legendary summer of 1976, Britain has produced very little out-and-out punk rock. Three decades on, the spirit lives on in just one young band, whose explosion on to the scene in the last three years has been at once electrifying and sobering. Gallows are five furious twentysomethings from the north-western suburbs of London. They formed in Watford, but their ferocious self-financed debut album from 2006, “Orchestra of Wolves,” was soon picked up by Warner, bringing them to the attention of punk fans, desperate for raw, polemical music amid contemporary rock’s political apathy.’
