TheGoddamnGallows/GallowsBound/TheDirtyStayouts

The Goddamn Gallows came from the heart of America's Rust Belt, arising from a night of flophouse violence. Drifting across the states, they cemented their sound in Portland, OR and later in Los Angeles, CA, where they lived in abandoned buildings, squatter camps, storage units and shoebox apartments. In 2007, they left everything behind and spent the next 4 years living out of whatever vehicle would get them to the next town. Building upon their original sound of twanged-out, punk rock gutterbilly (Life of Sin 2004 and Gutterbillyblues 2007), they began picking up stray musicians along the way and adding to their sound; washboard, accordion, mandolin and banjo (Ghost of th’ Rails 2009 and 7 Devils 2011) creating a sound referred to as "hobocore", "gypsy-punk" or "americana-punk", while never being stuck in any one sound.

The Goddamn Gallows continue to rapidly grow a devoted following with their volatile and spectacular live shows; a contagious, spontaneous eruption of unpredictability.

Gallows Bound is a six piece Appalachian folk-punk/bluegrass outfit from Winchester, Virginia. Being raised in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and stemming from three chord punk rock provides for a unique twist on traditional instruments. With their first album "Empty Flask, Empty Heart", the songs are described as an "aggressive yet melodic collection" ranging from fast and punchy tales of rambling and love, to dark and soulful songs birthed from whiskey and regret.

"Their live set is performed as impeccably as their studio set, and you really can feel how much energy, love, and emotion is poured not only into their writing, but into their performance."

It all started after a very long night out. Jen Bobal came home and brother Bob said, “you dirty stayout...” Bob, who had been writing a few songs thought, that’s it! And in the spring of 2008 The Dirty Stayouts were formed. With Bob Bobal on lead vocals & guitar and Jen Bobal on drums, they began to play their original songs around the music circuit in North Jersey & NYC. After playing with a couple of bassists who didn’t work out, Bob pulled in his buddy Anthony Sidoti, who he met when they roadied together for Dropbox on the Godsmack tour in 2004. Bob knew Ant would fit the dirty sound and attitude of the band. Pete Zest, singer of Another State of Mind, joined the band in 2009 after doing a couple of shows with the Stayouts, adding his ripping solo's on guitar and backing vocals. In February (2011) The Dirty Stayouts opened for Mucky Pup and D.R.I. at Starland Ballroom in NJ. Their Song "Live It Up" has been played several times on 105.5 WDHA and "Live It Up" was featured on a compilation CD included with the 2010 December issue of U.K.'s "Classic Rock" magazine. In 2013, drummer Scotty O'Ferrall joined the band permantly as Jen went on to focus on her business. She occasionally joins the guys on stage when her time permits. The band’s self described sound of Cow Punk & Dirty Rock N’ Roll is unmatched by any other band! You will leave a show feeling dirty and wanting more... Live it Up!!!!
