Another one of my other favorite bands is “The Gaslight Anthem”. They are a band from New Brunswick, NJ. I would say the genre is Soulful punk rock. The sound is Similar to a band’s like Less then Jake, Bruce Springsteen and punk rock band Against Me!. A lot of songs are inspired from living in The Big City, life struggles, relationships and rebellion. I remember the first song I heard from the group was one of there well know song’s Called “Red at Night”. Written using acoustic guitar, song is deep and really hits you in the Gut once you hear it. It is really memorable because it was the first song I heard from and I instantly become addicted to them after. Another good song from band is song called “American Slang” which I can personally relate or Teens can. As in my interpretation of the song as something to do with the direction that America is going as a country. Some things clearly need to be done but we don’t know what to do so we call to our "fathers" or founding fathers for advice but they are long gone. or possibly its about how its becoming harder to live up to the American dream. Critiques on site’s such as on the rolling stone have given them a good review’s on there albums and I’m pleased with their judging. This band is Overall very talented and has important message’s behind the lyrics. Go buy the Album “American Slang”!
