While it rekindles that same Jersey pride from previous releases, The Gaslight Anthem’s fourth album feels more important in a time when Americans especially need rousing anthems to get behind. 2012, Mercury Records 8.5 / 10.0 Springsteen comparisons come natural for The Gaslight Anthem.

When the Gaslight Anthem first crossed my radar four years ago, I remember being overjoyed that a punk band like this could still exist, that there was still gold left in them thar hills. The Gaslight Anthem that recorded The '59 Sound , their ridiculously great 2008 breakout, were proud inheritors of a brawny, no-bullshit Jersey punk tradition, one that stretched from the Misfits clear through to Titus Andronicus and Screaming Females. But the Jersey bands they most resembled were the Bouncing Souls and Lifetime, '90s punk bands whose breakneck tempos and fists-up choruses never attempted to disguise the [...]

The Gaslight Anthem release their album Handwritten today and to celebrate the release why don't we treat our eyes to the official video for the LP's title track. The video looks on as a young song writer goes about creating a new track and the legacy it leaves behind once written. A thought provoking clip that you can check out at the top. In case you missed it you can stream Handwritten in full over here .
It's been three days since the Dark Knight tragedy. Not only has this type event become a common American staple...our reactions have become even more typical. Blame guns...blame culture...blame the media...blame the parents. It's like the blame will solve the grieving. If we can point out the fault and find the reason why this happened, then we can rationalize it. We convince ourselves
"I can't move on and I can't stay the same," Fallon sings in "45". That may be the most truthful revelation to be found in all of Handwritten . In a promo video for the Gaslight Anthem's new album, Handwritten, lead singer/songwriter Brian Fallon discusses the concept behind and genesis of the LP before offhandedly remarking that every band dreams of making that "one album". That insatiable desire to make that perfect piece of popular culture that will endure for decades is what fueled Fallon and his bandmates during the writing and recording of Handwritten, particularly when he [...]

The Gaslight Anthem mañana presenta oficialmente su nuevo disco Handwritten . Al primer adelanto, 45 , ahora se le suma la canción que titula el álbum, con videoclip incluido. Dirigido por Kevin Slack , el video cuenta la historia de un vinilo: desde que se produce, hasta su primer dueño, un joven que se va a la guerra y muchos años después, por esas casualidades de la vida que el videoclip muestra, vuelve a reencontrarse con el disco [...]

It's Monday, which means it's time for another edition of our regular start-of-the-week stream-a-thon, wherein we scour the Internet for worthy and/or noteworthy albums that are streaming this week at absolutely no cost. It's a bit of an uninspiring haul this week, to be honest, but happily we've still managed to dredge up five records that are worth your time, led by the excellent new album from ever-fascinating UK producer Micachu and her band the Shapes. There's also fine indie pop from the antipodes courtesy of Lawrence Arabia, a killer new reggae compilation for the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's independence, [...]

Let's get it over with. In any review of The Gaslight Anthem [ Twitter / Facebook ], it's always a matter of time before one encounters the 'S' word. No, not that one: Springsteen. The band have had to put up with comparisons to the E Street Band for most of their career, and, now on their fifth album (their first on a major label), those who have been hoping that the band would finally step out of the shadow of their influences are about to be rewarded. Yes, up until now, they've never been regarded [...]

I will begin by saying that I have never looked forward to an album as much as I have done for The Gaslight Anthem 's Handwritten . After scouring the internet for daily updates, previews and having been teased with the pulsating first single, '45' , I could not wait for July 23 rd to come quick enough. On paper, The Gaslight Anthem could pass for another Punk Rock band, so how can a Punk album be so anticipated? Well the answer is that The Gaslight Anthem aren't [...]

The Gaslight Anthem look to visualize the eternal shelf life of music in their video for "Handwritten". Directed by Kevin Slack, the clip chronicles a musician as he writes, performs, and records a song, as well as the impact the song has for years to come. Watch it below. The band's drummer, Benny Horowitz, came up with the concept for the video. As he explained in an interview with Absolute Punk , "The original concept stemmed from an idea I had about following the life of a record. How these inanimate objects hold such sway in [...]
The Gaslight Anthem's new album Handwritten is out tomorrow, and the band has already unveiled a video for first single " 45 ." That clip was about as simple as it comes: Just the band playing for an extremely amped crowd in a Jersey club. But director Kevin Slack's new video for the album's title track has a decidedly more conceptual bent: It's an incredibly emo "Jukebox Hero" period piece. Watch it below, and thanks to Michael_ for the tip. Read More...
