Artist Bio
Welcome to the real Britain: a land of poverty, petty violence, bad diets and bad attitudes. A land of dole queues, decay and dealers; of knives and gangs. A grey and festering land. Welcome to Gallows’ new state of the nation address.Grey Britain is Gallows’ second album. It was recorded in 2008 at London’s RAK studios, alongside a 33-piece string section recorded at Air Studios and piano pieces at Abbey Road – with producer Garth ‘GGGarth’ Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Biffy Clyro) at the controls.
A damning indictment and aural document of a country currently crippled by recession, it is the most important punk rock record to come out of Britain in years: urgent, energised, angry and utterly nihilistic. "We put everything in this," guitarist Laurent Barnard declares. "We see other bands being told what to do by their paymasters, but we’re not one of them. This record is a kick up the arse; to us, to everyone. You can’t change the machine, but you make people open their eyes and, where necessary, change their lives."
