Brian Fallon Announces Debut Solo Album, ‘Painkillers’

October 7th, 2015

With The Gaslight Anthem now on an indefinite hiatus, it seems that frontman Brian Fallon is gearing up to release his debut solo album with the help of producer Butch Walker. Titled Painkillers, the 35-year-old’s forthcoming effort is currently being recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, and is set to arrive in early 2016 via Island Records.

Additionally, Fallon will spend a majority of January on the road in support of his newest undertaking. The New Jersey native will be backed by longtime collaborators Alex Rosamilia (The Gaslight Anthem), Ian Perkins (The Horrible Crowes), and Catherine Popper (Molly And The Zombies), as well as a few “other special performers.” Check out a full list of dates after the break, and let us know if you plan on attending below.

Though details are scarce at the moment, you can bet that this is one project we’ll be keeping a very close eye on as 2015 draws to a close–follow UTG on Twitter for updates.
