The '59 Sound was the second studio album by The Gaslight Anthem. Regarding the differences between The '59 Sound and their first full-length album, Sink or Swim, guitarist Alex Rosamilia noted that, InchFor Sink or Swim, we had a week or so and what we brought to the studio. For this record, we had about five weeks and quite the arsenal of gear to tear through. Which did lead to a couple ideas I don't think we would've had otherwise.Inch Album Tracks 1. The '59 Sound 2. God's Gonna Cut You Down 3. Patient Ferris Wheel 4. Miles Davis & the Cool 5. Placeholder 6. High Lonesome 7. Great Expectations 8. Our Father's Sons 9. Film Noir

This 2010 album marks an extraordinary leap forward for The Gaslight Anthem, revealing a triumphant Rock 'n' Roll band honed by two years of nearly non-stop touring. Singer/guitarist Brian Fallon's lyrical approach has grown more personal and introspective, his raw throated vocals stronger and more resonant against the band's boundless dynamic force. American Slang is a classic Rock 'n' Roll album that will be a benchmark for other bands to measure themselves against and try to mimic for generations to come. Album Tracks 1. American Slang 2. Stay Lucky 3. Bring It on 4. The Diamond Church Street Choir 5. The Queen of Lower Chelsea 6. Orphans 7. Boxer 8. Old Haunts 9. The Spirit of Jazz 10. We Did It When We Were Young

Although New Brunswick, NJ's Gaslight Anthem have only been around a couple years, they've become one of the punk underground's most celebrated acts. They've toured with Against Me, The Loved Ones and The Bouncing Souls. Their Side One Dummy debut reconciles their love of classic rock and soul icons Bruce Springsteen, Otis Redding, and Tom Petty with their NJ punk roots to create a unique musical amalgam.
