    <description>Gallows are a five-piece discordant hardcore punk band from Watford, UK, just outside of London. Forming from the ashes of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Winter+in+June&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Winter in June&lt;/a&gt;, Forthesinners and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/My+Dad+Joe&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;My Dad Joe&lt;/a&gt; in early 2005 (and originally going by the handle of Last Fight For The Living Dead), they straight away went about their intention to write infectious, original and exciting hardcore punk music by mixing it with and &amp;quot;the riffery of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Mastodon&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Mastodon&lt;/a&gt;, the off-kilter tempo changes of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/JR+Ewing&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;JR Ewing&lt;/a&gt;, the rock n roll swagger of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/The+Bronx&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;The Bronx&lt;/a&gt; and the dischordant noise of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Swing+Kids&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Swing Kids&lt;/a&gt; then wrap it up, sealed in a sweat and alcohol soaked Union Jack.&amp;quot;  They self-released their self titled EP in mid-2005 and instantly turned heads in the punk community, along with their fascinating and incredibly energetic live shows; vocalist Frank Carter in particular is known to just throw himself at the crowd and see what happens, turning into an emotional ball of fury on stage.    The band's hard work and constant touring soon paid off as they were signed to Indie UK label In at the Deep End Records. This set the stage for them to write and record debut album 'Orchestra Of Wolves' which was released June 2006. Although many of the tracks here were old material, with a much bigger production and experience, Gallows were able to record and build on their earlier work; which has become a critical success in the UK punk rock community.  Live, Gallows must be seen to be believed, with the policy that 'if the crowd don't fear for their own safety, we are doing something wrong'. An amazing experience involving mental mosh pits as well as members of the band bowling through/into/spitting at/insulting/fighting the crowd.  The 2005 demos have been released on limited edition white vinyl by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/label/Holy+Roar/&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_label&quot;&gt;Holy Roar&lt;/a&gt; and a split 7&amp;quot; with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/November+Coming+Fire&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;November Coming Fire&lt;/a&gt; was put out by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/label/Thirty+Days+of+Night/&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_label&quot;&gt;Thirty Days of Night&lt;/a&gt; .  Gallows have recently signed to Warner Records and will be released on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/label/Epitaph/&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_label&quot;&gt;Epitaph&lt;/a&gt; alongside other label mates such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/I+Am+Ghost&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;I Am Ghost&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Escape+The+Fate&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Escape The Fate&lt;/a&gt;.  At the Reading Festival 2007, Frank Carter(Vocalist)was tattoed on stage during their live set, The Tattoo artist was Chad Gilbert of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/New+Found+Glory&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;New Found Glory&lt;/a&gt;.  News was recently announced that &amp;quot;In The Belly Of A Shark&amp;quot; , a song on their debut album, will be on Guitar Hero III. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Gallows&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Listen at Last.fm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since forming the band in 2005 we have destroyed stages with the likes of JR Ewing, The Explosion, The Suicide File, Lifetime, Fucked Up, This Is Hell, The MC5, November Coming Fire, Bring Me The Horizon, Send More Paramedics, The Plight, D-Rail, Saosin, Adam Lazzara (Taking Back Sunday), Silent Drive, The Hunt For Ida Wave, Beecher, Architects, The Nothing, The Juliana Theory, Haste The Day, Adequate 7, Cry For Silence, Captain Everything, The Break In, Azriel, 33, Brigade, Fastlane, Calico System, Latterman, Down To Nothing, Meet Me In St Louis, Bossk, Take The Crown, Blessed By A Broken Heart, Flood Of Red, From Grace, Clone The Fragile, Bullet For My Valentine, As I Lay Dying, Stout, The Blackout, Narcosis, Mistress, Good Clean Fun, Jealous, The Steal, Vultures, The Cover-Up, Kids In Glass Houses, Chaos Days plus many more bands (including Papa Roach!). </description>

    <title>AFI w/ Gallows</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Hardcore punk revivalists AFI originally formed in 1991, when the band's four founding members were attending high school. AFI released their eighth studio album, Crash Love, in 2009. Produced by Joe McGrath and Jacknife Lee with the band, the new album is AFI's most confident, enjoyable album yet. Though there remain echoes of the Cure, the Smiths and many other morose pop heroes from the 1980s, the result feels more organic now, rooted in the genuinely bleak and hopeless rather than the simply theatrical sounds of My Chemical Romance. The music of AFI wasn't always as daring as its fashion sense, but the NoCal band has grown with accelerating sophistication, stepping further beyond easy pop-punk thrashings to something grander, with music to match the mopey melodrama of Havok's words.&lt;/p&gt;
