Biography

New Brunswick, New York NJ, United States (2006 – present)

The Gaslight Anthem is a band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Since forming in 2006, they have released four 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 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.

    I got to see The Gaslight Anthem at The Opera House in March 2009. Amazing! Then I saw them again in 2012 and decided to take some crap pics and write about the show. http://www.oneintenwords.com/2012/12/gaslight-anthem-with-joy-formidable-at.html

    This is a great band, saw them on the U.S. tour and now I can't believe I haven't caught them live before. Can't wait til they come around again. Caught this HD video when I saw them, it is an extended version of Angry Johnny ... Check it out if you like - http://youtu.be/zX9VR5IA4Uc

    '59 Sound = Sink or Swim = Handwritten = American Slang That's the only comparison for Gaslight Anthem's albums.

    Too much blood is obviously the best Handwritten song. Also, the whole record sounds a hundred times better on vinyl.

    VV "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers", "Bruce Springsteen" mainly.

    The next album needs to have some songs that are as aggressive as the first mixed with the more slow and mellow of the last few albums. It feels like they forgot Sink or Swim existed, and that makes me sad.

    Could someone recommend me some other bands like The Gaslight Anthem? I listen now also to The Menzingers, so maybe there is a band similar to both of them.
