The Gaslight Anthem
New Jerseyâs favourite sons, The Gaslight Anthem return to our shores in early 2009 for a full UK tour.
After exploding onto the scene with their critically acclaimed sophomore album âTHE â59 SOUNDâ (SideOneDummy), the band will bring their high-octane live show to the following venues (support comes from Frank Turner and Polar Bear Club)
Hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey, the bandâs anthemic tales of life, loss, family, heartbreak and youth have captured the imagination and hearts of fans and media everywhere. âTHE â59 SOUNDâ is being hailed as one of the albums of the year, with Kerrang! putting the band on the cover before ever having written a word about them.
Numerous spins on Radio One, XFM and 6Music have contributed to this bandâs meteoric and well-deserved success, and special BBC Radio One (with Zane Lowe) and XFM in-studio sessions are set to be broadcast in the next month or so as well.
