Brian Fallon's relationship with words is one rife in blue collared romantacism. That much was established early on with all three of the Gaslight Anthem's L.P's.
His Springsteen comparisons, however, have began to flourish more under the cinematic glare of his new side project, The Horrible Crowes. Standing by the side of Ian Perkins, the inked New Jersey punk-rocker has rounded the edges of Gaslight's Americana to create something slightly more gallant, adorning those old time Move Star heroics that were always a little dormant beneath songs on 'American Slang' - that's not to say they didn't impact with with a valiant spark.
'Behold The Hurricane' portrays yet more triumphant rock and roll imagery as the optimistic bellows of the refined classic rock mini-epic builds into crescendos of grandiose brilliance.
While not a million miles away from Gaslight, The Horrible Crowes are something of an open playing ground for Fallon who can really cut his teeth amongst the mythological flare of nostalgia.
