From sold out word tours to onstage appearances with Bruce Springsteen, the band have primed their huge UK audience for their eagerly anticipated third album 'American Slang', which is available now.

The band's stunning debut, The '59 Sound, with its melding of classic rock, soul and punk power, proved an immediate critical and popular sensation, with The New York Times praising the "rich, lustrous songwriting" and "taut punk arrangements", noting that Fallon's "casually observed storytelling, overflowing with detail, seethes with a cool desperation reminiscent of Mr. Springsteen in the late '70s",
