Since coming together in 2007, The Gaslight Anthem has forged its own powerful, populist sound, marrying their punk roots with rich craft and raw emotional power to create a soulful, exhilarating, and utterly unique vision of American rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. After releasing their debut album, SINK OR SWIM, and then the SE\u00d1OR AND THE QUEEN EP, 2008\u2019s THE \u201959 SOUND officially saw the New Jersey-based band break out on a global scale, with songs like “Great Expectations,” and \u201cOld White Lincoln,\u201d as well as the worldwide smash title track proving transcendent modern rock classics fueled by heroic hooks, huge choruses, and wildly triumphant energy.<\/p>\n
2010\u2019s AMERICAN SLANG earned epic critical applause while making historic chart entries worldwide, including a #1 debut on Billboard\u2019s \u201cIndependent Albums.\u201d Recorded with producer Brendan O\u2019Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen), 2012\u2019s HANDWRITTEN proved the apogee for The Gaslight Anthem\u2019s anthemic approach, scoring top 10 chart debuts in eight countries around the globe, and features the song “HOWL,” which plays at every New Jersey Devils hometown game when they score a goal. The band pushed their music even further with their fifth studio album, GET HURT, which made top 5 chart debuts in both the US and the UK upon its August 2014 release.<\/p>\n
Having climbed the mountaintop, The Gaslight Anthem chose to call it a day in 2015, making what they thought was their last-ever live appearance at the UK\u2019s Reading Festival. However, 2018 saw the band commemorate the 10th anniversary of THE \u201959 SOUND with a very special series of shows across North America and Europe performing the album in its entirety. The Gaslight Anthem hit the stage once again in June 2022, performing a secret set before 200 elated fans on what was supposed to have been the final night of lead vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Brian Fallon\u2019s three-show solo run at Garwood, NJ\u2019s Crossroads. The band officially announced their return to active status with a world headline tour hailed by Kerrang! as \u201can amazing, career-spanning 21-song setlist\u2026that celebrated all eras of their music.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Gaslight Anthem\u2019s sixth full-length and first new album together in almost a decade, HISTORY BOOKS once again brings their soulful breed of life-affirming punk to explore everything from mortality to mental illness. Hailed by the Associated Press as \u201cbig-hearted freeway rock,\u201d HISTORY BOOKS includes such singles as the heavy-hearted title track, \u201cHistory Books,\u201d featuring duet vocals from longtime band champion and fellow New Jerseyan Bruce Springsteen. The Gaslight Anthem marked HISTORY BOOKS with worldwide headline dates and festival appearances including a hit-packed co-headline set at Chicago, IL\u2019s Riot Fest.<\/p>\n
