Brian Fallon has announced US, UK and European tour dates, backed by his solo band, The Painkillers.

The Gaslight Anthem frontman will be touring in support of his recently announced solo album, Not Bad For New Jersey, which is set for release via his own Lesser Known Records on September 10.

Fallon has already released three songs from the album. Better Before is "a tortured portrait of unraveling romance", Not Bad For New Jersey is described as a "gloriously ragged homage to Fallon’s beloved home state and all the grit it instilled in him" and new single Pears is a "heavy-hearted but ultimately triumphant track addressed to those born into privilege", apparently.
