Biography

Hertfordshire, England (2005 – present)

Gallows are a band from Watford Hertfordshire, England, formed in 2005. They consist of Stuart Gili-Ross (bass), Laurent Barnard (guitar), Lee Barratt (drums), and Wade MacNeil (vocals). They were signed to Warner Bros.

Gallows released their debut album, Orchestra of Wolves, in 2006. It was distributed in the United States by independent label Epitaph in 2007. Epitaph founder and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz called it the best hardcore album since Refused’s The Shape of Punk to Come. In January 2008, the band’s show at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California was canceled after Disney chose to ban them from performing—reportedly after listening to Orchestra of Wolves.

A second album by Gallows was first hinted by ex-vocalist Frank Carter during an interview with NME, where he stated that because Gallows was “a hobby I get paid for,” the band would likely be defunct by 2010. However, he confirmed that during this period, the band would record up to two additional albums.

Gallows released their major label debut, Grey Britain, on May 2, 2009. It was recorded by Garth Richardson. It debuted at #20 in the UK album chart. Frank Carter explained the premise of the album in an interview with Kerrang!: “Britain is fucked. Grey Britain is all about what’s going on socially, politically and economically in the UK and how it affects us.”

    I really liked the new self-titled album, because it was something new, and I think Wade did a great job. They still sound like Gallows, thanks to the weird and gallow-ish riffs. But now that Steph is gone too the band is slowly getting uninteresting to me. I liked them in the first place because of the accents and this whole british-ness. The vocal-interplay between the two brothers being disturbing and massively good at the same time. And when I heard Steph's backing vocals on the new record I was so happy, because they still managed to maintain some of their original style and distinctive colour. Wade and Steph did a great job clashing those both cultures with their vocals. But now it will probably just sound grey, without the britain. I hope they will manage to still be unique like they did before, but I have my doubts. Looking forward to hearing more but I don't know which direction it'll be for them now...

    "No Carters, no Gallows" = you're dumb as fuck I hope with Steph and Frank gone all you Carter cultists will fuck off so Gallows can continue being fucking amazing whilst the Carters continue selling out. Steph wasn't even an original member.

    I love Gallows but I can't imagine them as four-piece band, specially without Steph.

    there's nothing wrong with the new version of Gallows, but it's not the band I fell in love with, I don't want to hear Wade sing Frank's lyrics
