Brian Fallon shared that he had been recording during that time when it was most difficult for him, but stated that the whole album is about difficulties per se. Rather than that, he stated that the album is something everybody could relate to easily.

When asked whether he thought recording during such a time was burdensome, he said that he didn't think so and that he hopes to make art, instead of just making a tragedy through music.

As for tragedy and heartache being his inspiration for the album, he said that his inspirations change all the time. "I'm sitting here talking from one point of view today, but that may change in the future," the singer said.

Brian has also shared that it wasn't hard for him to perform the songs in the album despite the reason it was made and  he doesn't relive the kind of situation behind the songs.

The new album, 'Get Hurt' is said to be a result of the New Jersey musician's experimentation on the guitar, with a more metallic edge to the guitar riffs and other added elements.

'Get Hurt' has kicked off, on the top five of the Billboard album charts. Gaslight Anthem is set to go on tour, starting September this year.
