The Gaslight Anthem
The ’59 Sound
SideOneDummy Records
The ’59 Sound by the Gaslight Anthem has been out for almost a year now with its August 2008 release but the album is definitely worth checking out. With fist pumping rock and a pulsing punk rock backdrop, The Gaslight Anthem is a band that can’t be easily categorized. The ’59 Sound is an exhilarating and innovative rock album from start to finish. Singer, Brian Fallon has a raspy but melodic voice that is somewhat similar to the legendary, Bruce Springsteen. I am always spectacle of a band that sounds like anyone else but the Gaslight Anthem definitely has its own sound. One of the most unique things about the album is that many of the songs are stories about actual people. The songs are cohesive and together form a complete album. I can see big things in store for the Gaslight Anthem and the ’59 Sound will further their fan base and propel the band’s success.
