The Gaslight Anthem

Standing on a Manhattan rooftop last week, I was talking with a fellow music media type. I mentioned that I dug the new Gaslight Anthem, to which she exclaimed, “People love that band!” I confirmed that yes, they are to be adored: wrenching hearts and rocking hard, the boys from New Jersey capture something special -- as is the case with ‘Teenage Rebellion,’ in which frontman Brian Fallon spills h

During a relatively soft week for major new music releases, the latest albums from Passion Pit ('Gossamer') and the Gaslight Anthem ('Handwritten') appear poised to score impressively high debuts.

The first time I fell recklessly in love, the Gaslight Anthem was our soundtrack, their late night howls and raging raptures so much our own, and again Gaslight's tattooed hands held it in its death. And so it was with a heavy heart -- and recognition of my own dramatic ridiculousness -- that I’ve plunged into ‘Handwritten,’ the New Jersey band’s fourth studio album.

The Gaslight Anthem have released a video for the title track of their new album, 'Handwritten,' which drops tomorrow. The video for the disc's first single '45' was released last month, and that clip was purely footage of the band rocking out at the legendary Stone Pony club in Asbury Park, N...

After nearly 15 years as a band, Orange County rockers Thrice are calling it quits -- and singer Dustin Kensrue's decision to pursue a life in the ministry has provoked so much heated online commentary that the Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon feels it necessary to enter the fray.

It's clear that Gaslight Anthem love their classic rock. The band has performed with Bruce Springsteen over the years and have name checked Tom Petty in song. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that the group has decided to cover a song from one of their musical idols.

The Gaslight Anthem are gearing up for the July 24 release of their fourth album, 'Handwritten,' with a new batch of theater and club dates and appearances on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' and 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.'

The fourth full-length album by New Jersey pop-punk band the Gaslight Anthem, 'Handwritten,' won't be out until July 24, but they're streaming the first single, '45,' a week before the song's May 8 release date. Produced by veteran Brendan O'Brien, 'Handwritten' is the band's major label debut.
