Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) - © 2013 Hannah Neild After a few years playing down the road at The Apollo, The Gaslight Anthem decided to hit somewhere a little smaller on their 2013 tour. A two night stand at Academy 1 might not be a 200-capacity basement club, but this is probably as intimate as it’s going to get for fans of the New Jersey rock and roll band. Accompanying them this time out was, the much revered, Japandroids. Darlings of the indie rock scene, their album ‘Celebration Rock’ made [...]

O Gaslight Anthem escolheu uma das faixas de seu mais recente álbum, Handwritten , para prestar uma homenagem às vítimas do furacão Sandy, que causou sérios estragos nos Estados Unidos há algumas semanas. New Jersey, um dos estados mais afetados por Sandy, é a casa da banda. Após mostrar imagens do resultado da passagem do furacão, o vídeo termina com a mensagem "Stay Strong Jersey", e o pedido de ajuda via Punkcares.org para os desabrigados.

The Gaslight Anthem have debuted a new video for "Here Comes My Man" from their most recent album, Handwritten . The video stars Elisha Cuthbert , best known as Jack Bauer's daughter in FOX's 24 . The video was directed by [...]

Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) - © 2012 Greenland Photography Oh the Apollo, how I hate thee. For those unaware, the (O2) Apollo in Manchester is possibly the worst of all the larger venues this city has to offer. The floors are sticky, the staff are rude, the beer is flat and the sound isn’t great either. You think all of that would be forgotten by the time the gig started - and most of it is - but the thought still lingered as I watched Dave Hause take to the stage for the seventh (yes, [...]

Dizem por aí que Brian Fallon escreveu a canção Here comes my man sob a perspectiva feminina para revelar coisas ditas ou pensadas por suas ex-namoradas. Dessa maneira, ao escolher Elisha Cuthbert como protagonista do clipe da excelente canção de Handwritten, álbum mais recente do The Gaslight Anthem, o diretor estaria transformando a atriz em um amálgama de todas as antigas paixões do frontman. A personagem principal do clipe de Here comes my man é uma garota sonhadora que se refugia em sua imaginação e no cinema para fugir das decepções de seu próprio relacionamento. Enquanto [...]

★★★★ The idea of something “handwritten” seems almost foreign in this day and age. What with the spread of e-communications, computers, and the advancement of technology in general, the commonality of handwriting something is rare, but adds to its significance. The significance of handwriting is one of two things that The Gaslight Anthem seem to want to harken back to on their fourth studio album, Handwritten , released July 24 th on Mercury Records. Radio also plays a significant part in the romance that frontman Brian Fallon conjures on the album, as he sings in “Mulholland [...]

In the wake of summer slowly but surely coming to an end, I've been forced to find that certain album that defines my summer. Y'know, that summer soundtrack. Or, at the very least, an album that I actually want to listen to. My bitter soon-to-be-student-again self has now been handed the task of reviewing The Gaslight Anthem's Handwritten , New Brunswick (*cough*New Jersey*cough*) punk indie rockers' fourth full-length. Wait - fourth? These guys have four albums out already? Surely they've run out of steam! Sorry to burst your skeptical bubble,  my imaginary friend - but it doesn't seem like [...]

The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten By Alex Ward It seemed inevitable from the first moment we heard them that The Gaslight Anthem were to be the next big rock band out there. Their previous records Sink or Swim,   The 59 Sound and American Slang were all critically acclaimed. However, when Brian Fallon, the lead singer of the group, announced the release of a new album he made sure people knew the group were looking for a new sound. From the moment you press [...]

Many bands have tried and failed to capture The Boss' throne, but The Gaslight Anthem have successfully proven themselves to be the true heirs of Bruce Springsteen. Their new album, Handwritten, is a bit more polished and often has a faster tempo than their brilliant previous release, American Slang (one of my top 10 of [...]

The Gaslight Anthem are back with a new album that is sure to please fans and newcomers alike. Following up from their last album comes Handwritten ; an 11-song full-length that is teeming with melody and brokenhearted lyrics to boot. If you were turned-off by 20102s American Slang , you're in luck. Handwritten boasts a style that can only be described as a fusion of The '59 Sound and Sink or Swim but adds in a new flavor all at the same time. The album as a whole has a very Hot [...]

Solid rock music, not pop rock or alternative rock: that is exactly what The Gaslight Anthem brings to the table in their fourth album, HANDWRITTEN . The rock genre of music seems to have forgotten what its all about. Numerous artists are attempting to evolve the genre with the use of synthesizers and mixing in other styles of music; while this is terrific and keeps the genre fresh, there is still a need for heartland music that comes from the barebones of rock. This is exactly where the Bruce Springsteen influence has always been apparent with group [...]

Gruffer and more evolved, Jersey's finest half-punk, half-rock band The Gaslight Anthem return with their fourth LP,  Handwritten , the group's most cohesive and self-effacing release to date. Right from the get-go, Handwritten hits a grand slam with the exemplary opening single "453 , an impressively polished and stirring break-up rock anthem (a track that inadvertently echoes the better days of Yellowcard , in all the best ways).  This [...]

Last week, I implored you to stream the Gaslight Anthem's new album "Handwritten" at NPR. Here's the first video for the album's title track. It's fantastic. Just like the album , which you should totally buy.

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. Like the Boss, the Gaslight [...]

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 [...]

Check out the video for " Handwritten, " the first visual offering, and title track, from The Gaslight Anthem 's new album. For what it's worth The Gaslight Anthem are one of my all-time favorite bands, I'm not blown away Handwritten but with the bar set so high by the both 592 Sound and American Slang the new album is a solid offering with some great [...]

O que diferencia um texto escrito em um computador, com o auxílio do melhor editor de textos disponível e com a fonte da moda, de um texto (cada vez mais raro nos dias de hoje) escrito à mão? Cada linha de uma caligrafia representa a identidade de quem escreve, cada momento rebuscado, cheio de atenção, cada falha e rasura causadas pelos vacilos da mente, cada mudança no ritmo de escrita ou no tamanho da letra, inclinando e atropelando letras e palavras em desespero ou arrumando espaço para mais uma frase antes que a linha acabe. O encarte [...]

A trajetória de um vinil através dos anos funciona como uma metáfora belissimamente conduzida para o poder da música de influenciar vidas e marcar indivíduos diferentes no novo clipe do The Gaslight Anthem , vídeo que carrega as honras de representar, uma semana antes de seu lançamento, o novo álbum da banda de Brian Fallon e sua faixa-título poderosa. Como cada nota do The Gaslight Anthem parece carregada de uma nostalgia intensa, Handwritten recebeu um clipe que carrega o mesmo espírito, dirigido por Kevin Slack, diretor habitual dos clipes do grupo [...]

Since announcing their move to Mercury Records, fans of The Gaslight Anthem have waited with baited breath to hear how the big time might affect their favourite New Jersey natives. Formerly the darlings of, LA-based indie label, SideOneDummy, the band have grown and changed with each release. And things are no different with record number four. The biggest of these changes is in the scale of the songs. No longer destined to fill basements and rock clubs, almost every track on this record feels designed for a bigger stage. With that comes a distinct loss of intimacy, though [...]
