The Horrible Crowes is a musical duo formed in 2011 as a side project by Brian Fallon, best known as the lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for the band The Gaslight Anthem, and his guitar technician Ian Perkins. Named after a line from the poem "Twa Corbies," the group explores a more somber and soulful side of rock, diverging from Fallon's punk roots while remaining steeped in his distinct storytelling and emotive delivery.

Their debut album, "Elsie," released the same year as their formation, swiftly garnered critical acclaim for its intimate portrayal of heartache and Americana-tinged melodies. Distilling Fallon's raw narratives through a more subdued and bluesy lens, the album has held a lasting impact, leading to a 10-year anniversary release of "Elsie," which continues to celebrate the project's resonant songwriting. Additionally, their live performances exude a deep emotional resonance, captured in the release "Live at The Troubadour." This recording showcases The Horrible Crowes' ability to translate their poignant studio work into a compelling live experience, underscoring the project's lasting significance in the landscape of alternative rock.
