Brian Fallon

Brian Fallon was born in Red Bank, New Jersey in 1980. His mother Debbie was in a folk band in the late 1960s called 'The Group Folk Singers'. Fallon spent his teen years in Hackettstown, New Jersey, where he became close friends with Tom "Tommy Gunn" DuHamel of the band Communication Redlight. When Fallon was 17 he released a cassette under the stage name 'No Release'. He also once wanted to start a small record label to be called 'Old 45 Records'.

Fallon has been the prominent song writer and vocalist for The Gaslight Anthem since their transition from This Charming Man. With the band he has recorded five studio albums, Sink or Swim, The '59 Sound, American Slang, Handwritten and Get Hurt. In 2009, he joined Bruce Springsteen on stage for the headlining set at the Hard Rock Calling Festival, performing the song "No Surrender." On July 29, 2015 the band announced an indefinite hiatus after their European summer tour, which ended with an appearance at Reading Festival on Sunday 30 August.

Fallon took to Instagram in September 2015 to inform his followers that he has begun work on a solo album. This will be his first major project since Gaslight Anthem went on hiatus. Fallon called in to Radio 104.5 in Philadelphia on December 10th, 2015 to premiere the first song "A Wonderful Life" and confirmed the new album would be out in March 2016.
