Future

In an interview with NME, Frank Carter stated that the band won't last past 2009 (five years together) and that it was not a commitment of his:

"Gallows is not my life. It's a hobby I get paid for. I'm a tattoo artist - that will always be my life and job. Being in a band is something I do for fun. I quit the band four times before we signed to a major label. Gallows won't last five years."

However he stated that in this period the band will record a second album, and possibly a third.^[10]

Demo

The band's first demo (2005) contains 5 tracks, and there are 4 versions of it; one in a card sleeve, with the art work spray-painted on by Frank and hand numbered out of 50, the other almost exactly the same, except numbered out of 30 and does not have the spray-painted cover. The third version featured the band's name in a spray-paint-like font on the front in a plastic wallet. The final version has different artwork (a drawn bug of some sort), and comes in a plastic wallet.

Paulo (formerly of My Dad Joe), not Steph, plays guitar on this record.

The demo was produced by Richard Williams, previously the guitarist in the now defunct St Albans-based hardcore band Flatline. The demo was re-issued by Holy Roar Records on 19th February 2007. It was released on white 7" vinyl, and is strictly limited to 500 copies. Although of the same title as the 2005 release, this print does not include the fifth track of the original release 'The Ballad Of...'.
