Brian Fallon is known far and wide for his elemental gifts as a songwriter, musician, and storyteller, including four acclaimed solo albums and his role as founding member and frontman of The Gaslight Anthem. Over the course of nearly three decades, the New Jersey-based artist has crafted a constantly evolving body of work, booming with insistent imagery, defiant romanticism, and an extraordinary emotional acuity that has marked all variations of his music from the very start. 2023 saw The Gaslight Anthem return from a long hiatus with History Books, their sixth full-length album and first new studio LP in nine years. The much-beloved band marked the acclaimed album with an epic tour schedule that saw sold-out headline dates and show-stopping festival performances around the world, confirming their ongoing place among the top ranks of American rock ‘n’ roll bands.
Tim Barry has spent two decades doing things his own way. His ninth studio album, Clear Blocks Ahead, out June 12 on Chunksaah Records, is no different. But it is a departure. Most of the Americana trappings Barry has built his career on are gone. In their place are ringing electric guitars and big rock and roll hooks. Not Marshall stacks cranked to 11, but something genuinely new for an artist who has earned the right to be surprising.
