Gallows: 'Britain Is Not Great Anymore'

April 3, 2009
Gallows: 'Britain Is Not Great Anymore'Gallows say they're still proud to be British despite the recession hitting the nation which has inspired their upcoming album 'Grey Britain'.

Guitarist Steph Carter explains the record is the band's personal take on the dire global climate, but ominously said they don't offer any solutions.

Carter said: "This record has a lot to do with what's going on in the world today, so everyone on a global basis can listen to our record and it can affect them in the same way it affects us."

"With the way the country is at the minute - the economic downturn, the recession our country seems to be falling into... a lot of people are being taught to go on the dole, being taught to not work hard for a living cos you get more money in benefits.

"It kind of just fits all the themes we were going for on the record, they are very sullen and grey, very down, very dark, but still pointing towards Britain at the moment."

He continued: “England is not a great place anymore. It is a grey place now, we just figured what better title to have for our second album, we're the most proud British band on the planet.

"Gallows have never been a band who can provide anyone with a solution, we are just really good at pointing out the problems."

'Grey Britain' is released on May 2 through Warner Bros.
