The Gaslight Anthem Tickets - Band History

The Gaslight Anthem began in 2005 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 2007, they released their first full-length titled Sink or Swim, which helped them build buzz in the local and punk communities. In 2008, they released their landmark album The '59 Sound, which allowed them to explode in popularity. The album was almost universally praised by critics from across the spectrum. Perhaps most importantly, it landed them as a support for bands like Social Distortion and the renowned Bruce Springsteen. Front man Brian Fallon joined Springsteen on stage - and vice versa - at London's Hard Rock Calling festival, exponentially increasing the band's publicity. In 2010, the band released American Slang, once again to praise from critics. The album debuted at number 16 on Billboard charts, and flipped the band from support status to headliner status.

The Gaslight Anthem Tickets - The Music

The Gaslight Anthem combines contemporary punk rock sentiments with classic rock influences from acts like Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones. The Gaslight Anthem songs often borrow quotes directly from these influences, perhaps the most obviously in Meet Me By the River's Edge, which is unabashedly Springsteen-inspired. Front man Brian Fallon has also earned a reputation for his gravelly voice and romantic lyrics. On Bring It On, he sings, My Queen of the Bronx, blue eyes and spitfire, I saw you walking back and forth about another boy - simultaneously poetic and punk rock-angsty. It's this kind of writing that has earned The Gaslight Anthem the widespread success they now enjoy.
