The Gaslight Anthem make their way to the High Noon Saloon tonight with support from MoB favorites Ladyhawk. I’m honestly pretty green when it comes to this group, as I’ve only recently been turned onto them thanks to high praise from Kyle and Heather. That being said, I’ve gotten through their most recent offering, The ‘59 Sound, a solid three consecutive times. It definitely deserves the press/praise it’s getting, though I have sneaking suspicion that their live show is where they truly shine.
The Gaslight Anthem – “The ‘59 Sound”
Most of all, it sounds like a band worthy to drop $10 on the chance that they might just end up being a new favorite, and a chance to hear something we’re currently pretty high on. Ok, enough hyperbole. Has anyone been digging this record or seen this band live yet? If so, drop us a comment.

I saw them earlier this year in Philly. Definitely fun live. If you dig The ‘59 Sound, definitely get a hold of their first, Sink or Swim. I actually like that record better.

Saw the lead singer, Brian Fallon perform a quick acoustic set here in Saint Louis at a local record store. Great guy, great storyteller, great band to see live. You’ll enjoy yourself for sure.
