Gaslight Anthem: DoTM

The Gaslight Anthem is a rock band that formed in 2005 in New Jersey.

I actually have not listened to much of their stuff but the stuff I have heard really isn't bad. Perhaps this is a band that I will get more into once I have fully absorbed their material.

From the little bit that I have heard from them they remind me quite a bit of Bruce Springsteen which now that I think of it shouldn't be too surprising because they hail from a town just a few miles away from where Bruce hails from.


Here are a few websites where you can read about them:

Great band. I didn't realize that they had so many records out though.
