Meltdown Tracker Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Have they released something? I'm lost with this project. Same here. From what I've gathered, it's just for fun and it's an outlet for Brian to do more folk and acoustic stuff without if impacting the Gaslight Anthem and their fans bitching about the change in sound too much. Also seems like he's just doing it for fun, and opening for bands like the Bouncing Souls and playing with his buddies. Kind of seems like what Boxcar Racer was to Blink, minus the bad blood between band members. All the recordings are on Youtube, not sure if an official release has happened yet though.

b00bies Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 gave this record a nice amount of spinning. couldn't believe how beautiful it sounds through headphones. wanna love this record - use them, that simple. very first listen was alright.found out stand out tracks like 1000 years, underneath, rolling. but a few days later and i am addicted to red violins, dark places - what a beast. definitely a better record from Brian.

Meltdown Tracker Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 The band went on hiatus, stating that they did not want to make music just for the sake of making music. Basically lacking direction and didn't want to put out a shitty album that didn't evolve their sound. Brian's putting out a solo album in March though, pretty pumped for it. Here's some songs to expect on it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00bies Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 i seriously cant wait for his solo record. seems like he's happy now more than ever. hoping for a bright record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emil Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sink or Swim, The '59 Sound, Senõr and the Queen and Handwritten are awesome releases. American Slang and Get Hurt... not so much. I love this performance, so many good songs there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 ^I agree with your assessment of the albums, but those latter two albums still have some great tunes, they're just more prone to having some filler tracks that I skip over. Underneath the Ground is one of my favourite tracks they've released though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 His solo album leaked recently. Pretty solid album, Honey Magnolia is one of the best songs I've heard in months. I'm loving how much more folky this album is, and how genuine it sounds. In terms of song-for-song quality, this album is better than Get Hurt IMO.

Elisa Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I got my tickets to see them on The '59 Sound ten year anniversary. I'm buzzing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 ^So jealous. They aren't touring Canada much, so I doubt I will see this tour, but hopefully one will be pro-shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted February 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Anyone listen to Brian's new album Sleepwalkers? I've only heard a few tracks so far, but I like it less than Painkillers. At least it's something different, though. Can't fault the guy for trying to milk the same ideas each album at least. Etta James is a pretty good song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken English Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just listened to it. There’s a few great tracks, a few growers, and a few average ones. It’s not going to top Painkillers for me I don’t think, but it’s enjoyable. See You On The Other Side, Her Majesty’s Service and Neptune are my favourites so far.

Elisa Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I prefer Painkillers but I have to admit that this album is the better one in terms of songwriting and production. Etta James, Come Wander With Me and Watson are the stand outs, the other songs are nice, he had some cool ideas, but not phenomenonal. I may change my mind about that though.

Broken English Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Etta James and Sleepwalkers are the two tracks that have no redeeming qualities for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I think his lyrical content on this album tops Painkillers - I also like the more Gaslight-roots even though I think Painkillers was much more experimental and fun. I'm just glad the bluegrass/blues influence he's been jumping on recently didn't over-saturate this album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy the guitar riff and lyrics of Etta James. Some really great lines in that song, like: And all we wanted was absolutely everything Like foolish, hungry young lions I was lost and alone, a million light years from home It was nobody's fault but mine Agreed about Sleepwalkers though. My favourite songs are probably Etta James, Her Majesty's Service, Neptune, and My Name is the Night (Color Me Black). Little Nightmares, Watson, and the first 3 tracks are all pretty solid as well. Also, he could have toned down the organ a bit. It works in most songs, but it becomes a bit much after multiple listens. On a side-note, pretty good performance with a variety of songs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 This album has grown on me a lot. There are a couple of songs I generally skip (Proof of Life, Sleepwalkers), but everything else is really great. Come Wander With Me has probably grown on me the most, it's a really beautiful song.
