Album Review

The Gaslight Anthem – The 59 Sound

9th Jun 2009

New Brunswick’s best, The Gaslight Anthem are going to continue to cause people to flit between Bruce Springsteen and Ryan Adams comparisons.

This sauntering self-titled single from their 2nd album, bears out Brian Fallon’s downtrodden, yet hearty vocal lag that bounces off the grinding guitars and chugging percussion combo.

This single will put the seal on a slightly surprising, but well put together 2nd album. Can they continue this upward trend in their fortunes after debut album ‘Sink Or Swim’, just about managed to keep them afloat in the ever turbulent world of commercial rock?
