Brian Fallon has released his eagerly awaited new solo album, Not Bad For New Jersey, out today via his own Lesser Known Records, highlighted by the slow-burning duet “Love at the End of the World” featuring Brandon Flowers. Fallon kicks off the album’s release with an epic world tour tonight in New York City, backed by his band The Painkillers, and will bring the run to Atlanta on October 9 at Center Stage (The Loft) with special guest Tim Barry.
Produced by longtime collaborator Butch Walker, Not Bad For New Jersey blends power pop hooks with the blue-collar romanticism that has defined Fallon’s songwriting across nearly three decades as a solo artist and as frontman of The Gaslight Anthem. The album features guest turns from Phil Collen, Marc Ribot, Lori McKenna, and Donovan Woods, and follows the singles “Pearls,” “Not Bad for New Jersey,” and “Better Before.” The tour continues through mid-November across North America, Europe, and the UK, with support along the way from Dave Hause, Donovan Woods, Ben Nichols, Tim Barry, and Chris Farren, plus a festival stop at Chicago’s Riot Fest.
