Moderate Rock

Following on from speculation here, Gallows have announced that Wade MacNeil is their new singer.

The band apparently courted the now-former Alexisonfire guitarist/singer for the role only a few weeks ago but they have already rehearsed, written and recorded together, including cutting a song MacNeil describes as “the most brutal thing the band has ever written. The harshest, heaviest song that’s, like, thirty-five seconds long”. Initial fan reaction has been mixed (Comments on the band’s Facebook page range from “Wade is going to bring it, rad addition” to “You seriously should have kept it British, feel a little betrayed”) but it’s surely live and in the flesh, where Gallows made their name, that the new boy will be best tested.

The Alexisonfire saga continued elsewhere too as Dallas Green added his two cents to the split and how it went down in an interview with Spinner.
