We spend a wholly inappropriate amount of time at gigs- missing all kinds of obligations, end up crawling through the next day exhausted, battered, and bruised. It's a lot of travel, standing in line, out of pocket expenses, and the occasional mediocre experience that leaves us cold. Then there are the times when you feel more alive than ever while shoved into a dive bar with a load of screaming strangers or a bearded man with an acoustic guitar makes you weep like a baby, having feelings you didn't know you were capable of. This is why we do what [...]
2012 was a very good year for music. Sometimes it's difficult to come up with enough albums for my year end list, this year the problem was narrowing down my choices. Click on the album titles to read the full reviews, purchase the albums, and, in some cases, watch videos and/or download mp3s. Then comment [...]
Here it is. My countdown of my favorite albums of 2012. Though it's not a surprising #1 choice...my number one surprises me...because I don't love the album. Anyway, you'll have to wait to see what that is...until then...it's time for your input. Every year I ask you, my readers, to give me your twenty best/favorite albums. The only rule...the album has to have been released in 2012.
The latest album by The Gaslight Anthem is a return to the glory of Sink or Swim and The ’59 Sound , which is a relief. American Slang , the band’s 2010 release, was a good album, but it just didn’t capture the energy and passion that Brian Fallon & Co. exude so well on their most memorable tracks. There was no “We Came to Dance” or “Great Expectations.” American Slang felt like a stab at mainstream acceptance. Handwritten feels like a defiant middle finger to [...]
Brian Fallon , frontman de The Gaslight Anthem , dijo haberse inspirado en un disco de Pearl Jam para la creación de su nuevo álbum.

Ellos hicieron tres discos de rock, [...]

Live 105 has managed to put together, once again, a fantastic line up for their annual holiday spectacular. So much so, that they had to split it into two days. One day was a bit more "new wave" oriented, and another day was purely guitar driven. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to check [...]
Live 105‘s Not So Silent Night lived up to its name and more at Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA.
By Keeyahtay Lewis The Gaslight Anthem have become one of the biggest bands in the world. Every show they play, especially in the Tri-State area, is a big deal, selling out quickly. Their three night stint at Terminal 5 in NYC 11/28-30 was no different. Luckily, I was able to check them out again on the first night of that, Wed 11/28. NY's own Laura Stevenson and The Cans opened the show. This 5 piece indie/folk rock act was entertaining ...

The Gaslight Anthem playing "Here Comes My Man" on Conan on Thursday night. "Here Comes My Man" is from the band's forth album, Handwritten .
I know I waxed philosophical about the value of an album as a whole earlier this week but don't get me wrong- I treasure my iPod and it is jam packed with playlists with every theme under the sun. Including a "Best of..." for 2012. Here is the ten I've chosen from that ...pretty extensive list that has soundtracked my year. Melanie and Barlow contributed ten of their carefully cultivated choices each to help round it out and here's our official Best Tracks of 2012 . [Tiffiny] Apologies, I Have None - The [...]

I know that December tends to be a time to purchase gifts for friends and family members. But Shopping kind of sucks. Instead, go to a show? Thursday, December 6th El Gavachillo, Regimen Sinaloense at Elbo Room El Gavachillo is a side project of Wil-Dog from Ozomatli. It's a band that does classic punk covers [...]
Filed under: Video , Exclusive IDJ/UMG Gaslight Anthem 's video for "Here Comes My Man" is a snippet of old Hollywood cinema, complete with a glittering carnival. The band's new album, Handwritten was penned, literally, in a notebook vocalist Brian Fallon kept with him and this sincerity reveals itself in "Here Comes My Man." "The unique thing about this video is Brian wrote this song from the [...]
