The Gaslight Anthem ‘The ’59 Sound’

• 17th Jun 2009

New Jersey’s favourite sons The Gaslight Anthem return to the UK this summer for several events including a performance on June 28th in support of “The Boss” at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park. Tickets for Hard Rock Calling are already sold out. The band will also be playing the Radio 1 / NME stage at Reading and Leeds festivals and have recently announced they’ll be playing Latitude Festival too.

June 29th also sees the release of the title track ‘The ’59 Sound’. This single will be available via download, as well as in 7” and CD versions. The B-sides include Gaslight’s brilliant cover version of ‘State of Love and Trust’ by Pearl Jam and ‘We Came to Dance’ off the band’s first full-length SINK OR SWIM.
