The Gaslight Anthem is a punk rock band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Since forming in 2005, they have released three 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.

Well you can't say Green Day or Nine Inch Nails are anything like Pearl Jam. Just like We Came To Dance doesn't has a Nickelback vibe. It's just another great TGA song

To be fair, a lot of bands are Pearl Jam. It's all in the Eddie Vedder voice.

@LoveroftheLord: It really isn't much alike. Sure the drumbeat is prett similar, but then again allot of drumbeats in rock are similar. It's really not like the song got a Nickelback vibe or sound. Not at all. That's like saying that Nine Inch Nails' 1.000.000 is basically Pearl Jam cause they had that same drum intro on The Last Exit or that Green Day's Know Your Enemy is basically Pearl Jam cause it has that drumbeat. And I bet there are like a 100 other songs with that beat
