View promo for title track from The Gaslight Anthem man Brian Fallon’s debut solo album

Brian Fallon has issued a video for the title track from his debut solo album Painkillers.

It was released earlier this month and comes after his band The Gaslight Anthem revealed they were going on hiatus last year.

Fallon said of the album: “This is renewing my faith in the whole music thing, reminding me it’s still important and still does what it’s supposed to do.”

Fallon will tour the UK and Europe in April where he’ll play a selection of tracks from his new album plus material from his Horrible Crowes’ debut album Elsie.
