Hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey, The Gaslight Anthem’s anthemic tales of American life have captured the imagination and hearts of fans and media alike. THE ’59 SOUND was hailed as one of the best albums of 2008 and Kerrang! magazine put The Gaslight Anthem on the cover before they had ever written a word about them. NME called THE ’59 SOUND one of the “best albums of 2008”, and immensely positive press poured in from Q Magazine, Rock Sound, Big Cheese, Clash and The Sun as well as great American press, including a cover feature in Alternative Press and major features in Rolling Stone and SPIN. Playlist action at Radio One, XFM and 6 Music are also media highlights of this band’s incredible rise to success over the last 12 months.
