Fan club T-shirt, stickers and member cards start shipping at the beginning of next week. They ship in the order they received them so those who signed up first will get their packages before those that just recently signed up. Apparently the shirt is a "45 RPM Club" logo shirt, the stickers are 1) 45 RPM Club logo and 2) Gaslight Anthem stickers. The member card is a luggage style card that can fit into your wallet/purse.

Spun Handwritten on vinyl yesterday for the first time and it sounded really good. Love the blue vinyl on 180gram.

I saw them last month in AC with Cage the Elephant and I was honestly blown away by the crowd and Fallon's performance. Really digging them now but is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling he will be going solo in a few years? I haven't been following the band that long or too closely, but he seems to be the most talented member by a longshot. The other guys just kind of stand there and didn't seem to bring anything that a backing band wouldn't be able to.

That being said...they do rock!

You can probably say this about tons of bands. I hate the idea of going "solo". So all you really do is replace your old band with a band of people who don't seem to care that you're marketing yourself under your own name and the fact that they get little to no credit for helping you.

I don't know so much about going solo properly, but I think it's likely the Horrible Crowes project will yield another album, and maybe he'll do a solo album. That said, he had a solo myspace thing for a while (and posted a couple of things on it) but got a bit overwhelmed by the interest and got rid of it so...

They've done 4 albums and an EP in just under 6 years which is very rapid output by anyone's standards, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another album end 2013/early 2014 and then maybe a break for a couple of years.
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

I dont know about the solo thing. And who knows how their process works in the studio....I doubt it is just Fallon doing everything himself. From some interviews I have read, it sounds like it's a collaborative process with the whole band.

I don't know about the whole solo thing. I see them growing as a band. In the early days of Pearl Jam ED did a lot of the lyrics. Now it is more of a band effort. I see Brian becoming one of the great front mans

True. Again, I don't really follow them too closely so they probably get along just fine...just kind of stood out to me from the concert that he was just a natural born entertainer. And that's awesome to see they are coming back so soon!
