The Gaslight Anthem – Howl

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