Gallows, the punk rock outfit from the U.K., may not be the first band you would predict to hit the gossip rags but that’s exactly where they ended up. When Harry Potter’s own Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) arrived in disguise to watch Gallows perform at the U.K.’s Reading Festival this past week, the band snapped a picture which ended up on People magazine’s website of all places. After watching Gallows rock Reading, Daniel and Rupert met up with Gallows front man Frank Carter, for a chat and some more photo opps in an outdoor VIP area. Gallows will bring their ferocious live show back to…
