Ben Gallaher’s New EP ‘Bullet’ Set For May 9 Release
Ben Gallaher is gearing up for the release of his new five-track EP, Bullet, releasing May 9 via Stone Country Records.
Bullet’s title/focus track is a rock ballad about being willing to lay down your life for the one you love and the do-or-die pledge was penned by Gallaher alongside Chris August, Kelley Lovelace and Neil Thrasher.
“When you love someone, you’d do anything for them, no matter what,” says Gallaher. “You’d take a bullet for them, and that’s where the inspiration for that song came from. I wrote it for my wife, but now we have a baby boy and so it takes on a whole new meaning.”
Two advance tracks from Bullet are out now. “Kinda Can’t Say No” is about an irresistible woman a man can’t walk away from when he knows he should, while “Cuts Like a Knife” is a cover of the Bryan Adams’ classic, with Gallaher playing every guitar part on the track. The EP also features “Dirt Ones,” a road-trip anthem reminding us to take the road less traveled, and “Mistakes,” a no-regrets rocker about how life’s wrong turns usually only make us stronger.
Gallaher’s online fan base has exploded in the past 18 months with his viral guitar riff “Stomp” generating over 36 million views. The riff has also inspired more than 10,000 fan-created videos, earned praise from guitar heroes including Peter Frampton, and helped Gallaher amass nearly 400,000 social media followers to date.
