Brian Fallon

Another song by the original band called "She Coulda Raised the Titanic" later became "1930" on the Gaslight Anthem's album, Sink or Swim.

Fallon has been the prominent song writer and vocalist for the Gaslight Anthem since their transition from This Charming Man.

With the band he has recorded five studio albums, Sink or Swim, The '59 Sound, American Slang, Handwritten and Get Hurt.

His mother Debbie was in a folk band in the late 1960s called 'The Group Folk Singers'.

Fallon spent his teen years in Hackettstown, New Jersey, where he became close friends with Tom "Tommy Gunn" DuHamel of the band Communication Redlight.

Fallon attended Hackettstown High School.

When Fallon was 17, he released a cassette under the stage name 'No Release'.

He also once wanted to start a small record label to be called 'Old 45 Records'.

At the age of 17, Fallon released a cassette titled The Coffeehouse Sessions under the name No Release.

It was released under Mean Little Man Productions.

There are only about 200 copies of the limited release demo.

There are 16 tracks on the demo which featured Chris Eissing as lead guitar on a few tracks.

Brian Fallon (born January 28, 1980) is an American musician, singer and songwriter.

He is best known as the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and main lyricist of the rock band the Gaslight Anthem, with whom he has recorded six studio albums.

He was also a member of the duo the Horrible Crowes, alongside the Gaslight Anthem's guitar technician and touring guitarist Ian Perkins.

Fallon was born in Red Bank, New Jersey, in 1980.

With the band Amping Copper, which has been called "basically...Surrogate McKenzie version 2", Fallon was involved with the recording of the 6-track self-titled CD, Amping Copper, in 2001.

After Amping Copper, Fallon wanted to record a solo EP while maintaining the band feel.

He asked a friend, Casey Lee Morgan, from the band Lanemeyer to play drums.

Another friend, Mike Hemberger, played bass and produced the EP.

One of Fallon's old guitar teachers, Tim Fogarty, played guitar on two tracks.

Together they recorded The American Music EP in 2004, which featured Fallon's mother on backing vocals.

In 2004, Fallon, along with Michael Volpe, Chris Clementi and Mike Leboeuf, founded This Charming Man.

Fallon and Volpe remained the only original members when Benny Horowitz and Alex Levine joined in late 2005.

This Charming Man's only full release was Every Little Secret in 2005, with the original lineup.

In early 2006, Volpe decided to leave the band and Alex Rosamilia was brought on board, thus bringing together the future line-up of the Gaslight Anthem.

In 2009, he joined Bruce Springsteen on stage for the headlining set at the Hard Rock Calling Festival, performing the song "No Surrender".

On January 20, 2011, Fallon announced on his blog that he had formed the group the Horrible Crowes with his guitar tech, Ian Perkins.

The first single, "Behold the Hurricane", was made available for streaming through RollingStone.com on July 13, 2011.

On September 1, Rolling Stone streamed the album in its entirety.

On September 20, the video for "Behold The Hurricane" was uploaded to the Horrible Crowes' website.

Their debut album, Elsie, was released on September 6, 2011, in the US.

Molly and the Zombies is an Americana/folk group that was formed in 2013 by Fallon with guitarist and Plow United frontman Brian McGee, former Ryan Adams and the Cardinals bassist Catherine Popper, and Scissor Sisters drummer Randy Schrager.

The band performed their first show in December 2013 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, opening for the Bouncing Souls at the Stone Pony.

According to Fallon, there is no record deal and there will be no album.

On July 29, 2015, the band announced an indefinite hiatus after their European summer tour, which ended with an appearance at Reading Festival on August 30.

Fallon said of the band, "People will always say, 'why are you doing a solo record?' And I'm like, 'because I don't have anything to say with Gaslight'. Those five records, that's what you got. That's the piece. I feel it's a lot like The Replacements. There's no new music because that's all Paul [Westerberg] and the band has to say. When the book is over, it's over. And I have like… four-and-a-half records I'm really proud of."

The Gaslight Anthem reunited on March 25, 2022, with Fallon posting: "I am very pleased to announce to you all that The Gaslight Anthem is returning to full time status as a band. We’ll be announcing a lot of tour dates in the next couple of days. We’re also beginning to write new songs for what will be our sixth LP. We’re very much looking forward to the future and seeing you all again. We want to thank you for staying with us. Stay tuned!"

After the band's tour throughout 2022, Fallon's first new music with the band in nine years, Positive Charge was released on April 28, 2023, followed by the announcement of the band's first studio album in nine years History Books, slated for release on October 27, 2023.

Since 2016, Fallon has released four solo albums and one EP.
