The Gaslight Anthem is an alternative rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. Since forming in 2005, they
have released two full-length albums and an EP. They were described by Kerrang! magazine as "the best new band you'll
hear in 2008." The lineup consists of Brian Fallon (vocals and guitar), Alex Levine (bass), Benny Horowitz (drums), and Alex
Rosamilia (guitar).
The Gaslight Anthem's music embraces many elements of blues, classic rock, and punk rock. The band has described their
sound as "Bruce Springsteen singing for a Cure cover band, with a tinge more aggression." The group's fondness for
Springsteen, a significant influence on their music, is a fact celebrated by fans and critics alike. Representative of such views,
one critic wrote, "The Gaslight Anthem are like something out of speculative fiction: this is what pop music would be if
Springsteen hadn't listened to his producer, let the Ramones record 'Hungry Heart,' and launched the C.B.G.B.'ers into
megastardom..
The band released its first LP, Sink or Swim, in 2007 through XOXO Records, and toured with many reputable bands,
including Against Me!, The Draft, Dead to Me, and Fake Problems.
The Gaslight Anthem's second release, a 4-song EP entitled Señor and the Queen, was released on January 29th, 2008 by
Sabot Productions.
Their second full-length, The '59 Sound, was released on August 19, 2008 on Side One Dummy Records. The album debuted
at #70 on the Billboard top 200. It was produced by Ted Hutt, who has produced albums for The Bouncing Souls, Flogging
Molly, and MxPx.
Third studio album American Slang will be released on June 15.
The Gaslight Anthem's newest effort, Handwritten was released on July 20th, 2012. « hide |
