Brian Fallon, former frontman of The Gaslight Anthem, has announced his first solo album in five years, 'Not Bad for New Jersey,' set for release in September and featuring contributions from Brandon Flowers, Phil Collen, and Marc Ribot. He is also touring extensively in 2026 across the UK, Europe, and North America with his band The Painkillers, reflecting on his punk rock roots and New Jersey identity through new music and performances. A new single, 'Pearls,' offers a reflective, emotionally charged ballad that underscores the album's introspective tone.
