Two Gallants
Indie
They're big in the United Kingdom, Germany and Europe.
“They played Summer Sonic in Japan ... They're playing this big festival and a lot of people showed up. In between every song, Japanese fans — and this is normal — they go quiet. There's no talking. You can hear a pin-drop. They never had to witness anything like that in their lives because they have a rowdy crowd and usually have a rowdy show.”
— Dan Casin, Two Gallants manager
