 Last week, UK band GALLOWS announced that WADE MACNEIL (formerly of Alexisonfire) is the official replacement for former frontman Frank Carter. In an interview with Alternative Press, MacNeil talked about how he thinks Gallows will be different with him as a member: "I definitely think I have a very, very different voice than Frank—and I mean aside from yelling, I think just the tone of my voice is going to be the one thing that’s really, really different. Even though I’ve spent a lot of the last 10 years touring England in various bands, I don’t have a British perspective for everything, so whereas the last record was definitely focused on Britain specifically, I think everything we’re going to do in the future will definitely have more of a worldview. That’s something everyone in the band can relate to, because we spent the majority of our youth traveling the world playing punk shows." MacNeil also discussed how he thinks fans of both Gallows and Alexisonfire will react to the change: "I think when you really care about a band, you build this relationship with them. You get to know them, and they’re a big part of your life. There’s a lot of bands that are like that for me. So whenever you hear something changing, your immediate reaction is that it’s the end of the world. It hurts, because you identify with their music and there’s something about it that’s really personal, right?" Read MacNeil's full interview with Alternative Press HERE. Gallows is now: Wade MacNeil (vocals), Laurent Barnard (guitars/keys/vocals), Steph Carter (guitars/vocals), Stu Gili-Ross (bass) and Lee Barratt (drums). |
