Old Wounds co-founder exits band

Old Wounds co-founder Brandon Gallagher, who recently moved from drums to vocals, has announced his departure from the New Jersey band. Here's what he had to say:
"Without getting into too much detail, it's time I reveal that I've stepped away from Old Wounds. I started the band in 2010 with the intention of traveling, meeting a bunch of rad people, and creating art that I was stoked to represent and even stand up and fight for. I'm incredibly proud of everything that I contributed to get the band to where it is now. Unfortunately, if you can't see the vision moving forward, it's hard to continue to create in that setting, and that's exactly how I feel. "I'm working on a couple new bands that should be seeing the light sooner than later. I'm playing bass in a band called Funeral Fires and we just finished tracking an LP that will probably be out later this year. My good friend Ryan is flying in tomorrow to collab on a heavy band, that I'll be doing vocals and playing drums in. No time frame on that, but you'll be hearing about it sooner than later I'm sure. I'm still heavily involved in doing PR with my company The Chain, and I'm still going to be doing graphic design for bands and projects a like. "To all my friends that I've met during this time, hit Brooklyn or NYC on your tour and I'll tell you what went down over a slice of pizza. Love you all."

Emblazoned with a slew of patches, his collectible accessories adorned much of his denim vest, tastefully arranged, only a tiny portion of the original blue outerwear left showing, I got a chance to sit down with the cofounder, and talk his exit over pipin hot slice of za down at the local pie shack. His signature trousers on hand, each tear and hole tells a story, authentically road worn, walkin me thru the tale of each rip with enough gusto and detail to fill a book, he bites his steamy pie.

The pie is one me, but is more than repaid with endless stories, regaling his time on the road and inspiring streams of concioudness covering metaphysical and philosophical ideals. Bits of still hot za escape his mouth like the adjectives and similes he uses to paint a vivid dreamscape. I feel I'm in the crowd as he recounts a fist fight with Tommy Brunmel of victory rec. The convo is interrupted several times to accommodate fans requests for pictures and autographs. He obliges, smiling at me.

I heard tony morses son is joining. No joke

anonymous 7/19/2017 12:45:53 AM

our booth later littered with crumbs and crusts of half a dozen pies, he loosens his belt and playfully rubs his tummy. I subtly check the bill and thumb through my checkbook. His thin moustache and razor wit make him my best friend, and I tell him to make room for dessert back at my parents. Stepping out of my black Nissan Optima, I take the lead on conversation, giving a brief history on the quaint but rustic ranch style rambler that I grew up in. My father receives us in the paved drive way.

anonymous 7/19/2017 12:52:11 AM

When my father asks if he is my new boyfriend, he realizes I may not be exactly as I let on. He shakes my fathers hand, scoring a compliment on his firmness from the man who bore me. Upstairs in my room, I begin to explain how, like the sea horse or clown fish, my father is capable of changing genders, and carried me in his womb, making him my father and my mother. A recipient of the Medal of Honor and Purple Heart in 1986, he went on to model women's swimwear for the 1990 Jc penny catalog.

anonymous 7/19/2017 12:58:04 AM

Grease glistens off his masculine hand and I realize I will not have to waste any fine imported lube. I cut to the chase and wrap his strong fingies around my throbbing pendulum, tick c-cking to the beat. He tries to pull away but it is too late and my trap has been set, having rubbed superglue on my throbbing unit while he was texting. With his hand stuck he understands his situation and begins to rub, up and down up and down, the most popular R&B, pop, and dance playing through my Beats Pill

anonymous 7/19/2017 1:02:56 AM

I moan in unison to the beat, 90 bpm. The door swings open and my father enters, a huge grin plastered on his face as his white hair flows behind, he reminds one of Doc Brown. My father crouches toward us revealing to him his enormous lobster claw hands, and octopus legs body. He screams but his sensual holler reguvinates my tired sack, my member springs like a geyser over his hands, some making it to his chin. Father throws his head back in delight, HAHAHAHA! He laughs at the stars

anonymous 7/19/2017 7:30:22 AM

Old toilets But seriously. Who?

anonymous 7/19/2017 7:37:26 AM

Guy in the back right looks completely ridiculous.

anonymous 7/19/2017 9:46:50 AM

14/88

anonymous 7/19/2017 11:30:48 AM

Hate to break all the fan girls and fan boys' hearts, but Brandon Gallagher was kind of a douche in the band, that's why they left him in a parking lot alone. But now he's changed, with a better band, and is mad nice. Especially, at warped tour, I got to meet him and he was so down to earth and nice.

anonymous 7/19/2017 12:38:58 PM

Tell you what they ditch the long hair with a my chemical romance t-shirt and they could ascend to #49

anonymous 7/19/2017 1:45:56 PM

I just wanna know, who the fck ate my bagel?

anonymous 7/19/2017 2:32:47 PM

Kevin from Old Wounds here, I'm back.

anonymous 7/19/2017 6:17:29 PM

Shane from down into it here. I'm not suicidal despite my constant crying. I swear.

anonymous 7/19/2017 8:00:07 PM

100% Kevin is back.

anonymous 7/19/2017 9:54:11 PM

I'll take the slice but spare me the lame ass story about a band that no one gives a fck about.

anonymous 7/20/2017 11:17:26 AM

He's probably starting a new band with that fat, disgusting, ginger bearded probie hang around they always had with them.

anonymous 7/20/2017 11:54:48 AM

old wounds always was and always will be trash music for trash people, the kind of hardcore kids that look like some straight up inbred juggalo mixed with some weird a** Marilyn man nu metal goth. Other examples of similar bands that play (or played) up to the trash people: code orange, suburban scum, jesus piece, down in it, GLOSS, knocked loose etc

anonymous 7/21/2017 6:01:57 PM

anonymous2 days ago Chances the original singer comes back? he is the original singer you twat. Can't you read?
